Hey everyone, I just took the SAT and did well on the math section, but I'm not sure what the highest possible score is for that part. Does anyone know what the max math SAT score is and how it factors into the total SAT score?
Hey there! The highest possible score you can receive on the math section of the SAT is 800. When considering your total SAT score, the math section is combined with your score from the Reading and Writing section, which also has a maximum score of 800. Therefore, the highest total SAT score you can achieve is 1600 (800 from Math + 800 from Reading and Writing).
Keep in mind that colleges typically consider both your total score as well as your individual section scores during the admissions process, so it's essential to perform well on both sections. Congratulations on doing well on the math section and best of luck with your college applications!
