Gonna be a Grade A stud if we can keep him around a couple more years...
I’m seeing 1600 being the max score after the changes made to the test a few years back.
Maybe these guys are under the impression that it’s still 1600 instead of 2400?
Gatdamn bounce from heaven on that 3 or we might have started a nice run.
I like you, dude, but you get pretty insufferable in these game threads...
agreed... minus the whole liking him part
What's the Highest New SAT Score Possible?

SAT LOGISTICS, NEW SAT
Understanding how the SAT scoring system works is an important part of preparing for the test - how else are you supposed to measure progress and set goals? The SAT has undergone some recent changes, which means that the scoring system that most people were familiar with has seen a radical overhaul. Here, I’ll cover how the scoring system has changed and what that means for you.
What’s Changed?
Prior to 2005, the SAT had just two sections (Math and Reading), each scored from 200-800 points for a maximum total of 1600. In 2005, the College Board instituted a new test with three sections - this changed the maximum possible score to 2400. The new version of the SAT also came with updates to test content and question types.
At the beginning of 2016, the College Board once again updated the SAT both in terms of the scoring system and test content. We’re now back to two mandatory SAT sections (Math and Writing & Language), each scored from 200-800 points, but there’s also an optional essay section. You might notice that the structure is fairly similar to that of the ACT.
Another important change is the switch to rights-only scoring, which means that points are no longer deducted for wrong answers. Put simply, there’s no more guessing penalty on the SAT.
For more detailed information on these changes, check out our complete guide to the SAT.
The Highest Possible SAT Score
Like I mentioned, there are now only two mandatory SAT sections, each scored out of a maximum of 800 points. This means that the new highest possible SAT score is 1600.
