Colleges take the highest reading score, the highest math score and the highest writing score out of all the tests you've taken. So if there was a really bad essay topic, you can take it again and they will take the higher of the scores.
The highest possible essay score is 800. The highest possible composite score for the three sections (math, reading and writing) is 2,400.

PSAT scores give you a general idea of what score you would make on the SAT. Adding a zero to your PSAT score gives you a ballpark number of what you would make on the real thing. The highest score possible on the PSAT is a 240, while the highest score on the SAT is a 2400. The PSAT is not an acceptable test to send to colleges in place of SAT scores. However, the PSAT can earn you recognition with scholarships for making a high enough score.
The only way to earn the highest SAT score that you can possibly earn is to prepare. Some people spend several months preparing for the SAT. The best things to do are to start studying on your own using SAT study guides that offer practice SAT tests. Then you should enroll in an SAT preparation course to put your skills to the test. These classes are a sort of boot camp for SAT test preparation.
I've sat through 4 different college admissions discussions with representatives of 7 different Universities. Almost all accept the highest SAT score when making admissions decisions.
