My college is asking for 850 SAT score?

I scored like a 1900 or something........how is scoring 850 possible? do you have to convert it or something? how much is 850?

Answer 1

Wow everyone here is showing their age.  The test is no longer 1600 points as when we took it.  The test is now 3 parts (writing, math, critical reading), 800 points per section, 2400 possible points total.  Changes were made in 2005.

Are you sure they are not talking about a specific section?  Otherwise, that is a d**n easy college to get into.

Answer 2

how did you score a 1900 when a perfect sat score is 1600?

Answer 3

the highest SAT score you can get is only like 1600 so no you didn't get a 1900. and you don't have to get exactly 850, that's the minimum score to get to be considered for acceptance.

Answer 4

well, 850 is pretty low...it just over half. however, its impossible to get a 1900 because it only goes up to 1600. If you got a 1600 i would say that your extremely smart and be looking at a school thats looking for something a little higher, not saying the school you are looking at isn't as good, but if you got a perfect SAT score...your pretty smart.
