<p>Why is the highest combined score 2400 for some SAT reasoning tests and only 1600 for others?</p>
<p>LOL, that's a cute question.</p>
<p>2400 is for the new SAT - the one with Math, Reading, and Writing sections.
1600 is for the old SAT - the one with only Math and Reading secions.</p>
<p>And you can't take the old one anymore--College Board no longer administers it. You wouldn't have liked it anyway--there are quantitative comparison questions and analogies on the old one.</p>
