From the College Board website:

SAT Scores

SAT scores are reported on a scale from 200-800, with additional subscores reported for the essay (ranging from 2-12) and for multiple-choice writing questions (on a 20-80 scale). Your scores tell college admissions staff how you did compared with other students who took the test. For example, if you scored close to the mean or average — about 500 on SAT critical reading and 500 on SAT mathematics — admissions staff would know that you scored as well as about half of the students who took the test nationally.

eta - 375 is below average.

SWTXBelle, thank you for posting that. I knew that when I took the SATs the scoring range was 200-800, and although scoring has been adjusted from time to time since then, I hadn't heard of anything like 500 being a top score for math and critical reading.

Well, even though she only told us her math score I think we can assume critical reading and writing were also not top scores.

I think it was only out of 1600 when I took it but I took it in 8th grade, not high school so I'm not sure when they changed it up.

My school had some thing about how you could take the ACT/SAT if you did well enough on your state based tests. I test well. I did the ACT in 7th grade and the SAT in 8th grade. I think I took the SAT again my freshman year because I was considering transferring to the Illinois Math and Science Academy but ended up not doing so.

And us Midwesterners use our ACT scores for college as a general rule.
