SAT

A perfect SAT score is 1600 on the Digital SAT and not 2400. The SAT score of 2400 was used for the older version of SAT exam. There are two sections on the latest SAT exam version and both of them are scored in the following manner:

• SAT Reading + Writing (RW) Section: Scored between 200 - 800
• SAT Math Section: Scored between 200 - 800

So the minimum possible score on SAT can be 400, and the highest or perfect SAT score is 1600. This is how the scores are also calculated. 

The SAT exams take place at the designated SAT exam centres. College Board has its designated centres across different countries including India. Indian applicants appearing for SAT exam can choose the nearest SAT exam centre upon exam registration. The SAT exam is conducted across 30+ Indian cities and there are around 129 test centres for SAT. Thus, applicants will get ample test centre options to choose from if registering for the SAT exam weel before the deadline.

No, SAT exams are proctored at designated test centres by College Board. Even after SAT has gone Digital, the applicants still have to appear for the exam at a test centre only and do not have the option of taking it from home at present. Thus, those planning to take SAT exam upon registration will have to choose a nearby SAT exam centre in order to appear for the exam. 

Ideally, the official SAT registration deadline is 15 days before the SAT exam date. In case applicants are unable to register for SAT on the prescribed date, they can register for SAT with a late fee within a week after the official SAT registration date. 

So if the SAT exam date falls on March 8, the official SAT registration date will be February 21. However, those who miss the February 21 registration date, can register for SAT with a late fee by February 25. This is how SAT registration deadlines are predefined by College Board.
