In the old SAT format, the highest possible score was 1600, comprising of an 800 in the Math and 800 in the Verbal section.

The new SAT format is out of 2400. The highest score you can get in each section is 800. The 3 sections are Math, Critical Reading, and Writing. Some schools only look at the Math and Critical Reading section (totaling 1600).

Every year people score 2400 SATs and 1600s. This is extremely rare, but there are students that manage the 'perfect score' every year. These students would be part of 'history' with their perfect SAT scores and would have their name up with those who record the highest SAT scores.

Only about 60 students per state get a full score every year.

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.
