List of people by reported SAT score
List of individuals by their reported Scholastic aptitude test score. Because ETS, the publisher and scorer of the SAT does not make test results public, many of these scores are unverified. The SAT is scored on a scale between 400 and 1600, with 1600 being the highest possible score. Average scores fluctuate from year to year, but usually lie in the 900 to 1000 range. Mensa International accepts scores from tests taken prior to 1973 of 1300 or higher, and scores from then until 1995 of 1250 or better. However, the test was recentered in the beginning of 1995, and Mensa no longer accepts scores on tests taken since then of over 1300 (renormed 98th percentile).
