What is the highest SAT score ever achieved?
The best possible score on the SAT is a 2400, a score achieved by just hundreds of the more than a million students who take the SAT each year. Each of the Three sections (Writing, Critical Reading, and Math) are given a score between 200 and 800. So, the final score will fall somewhere between 600 and 2400. The average SAT score is about 1540. There are several factors that universities consider when reviewing your application. Your High School Record (class difficulties and grades), your activities/accomplishments, and essays are all important.
