Question about SAT scores - what's the maximum?

Hi everyone, I'm a junior getting ready to take the SAT. What's the highest score anyone can get on the SAT? Thanks in advance!

Hello! The highest score you can get on the SAT is 1600. This is a combined score of the two sections: Math, and Evidence-Based Reading and Writing. Each section is scored on a scale of 200 to 800, and these two scores are then added together to give you your overall score. So if you ace both sections, you'll hit that maximum score of 1600. However, keep in mind that even scoring somewhat lower can still be competitive for a lot of colleges. All the best with your prep!
