We need to know more. Someone posted on CTH last night Messr Hogg got a 1400+ SAT and the State avg in FLA is 1428. I find that very hard to believe. Getting into the 1400 to the max 1600 range of the SAT would have FLA w/ a GDP greater than most of the world, we be talking some serious braniacs here. I don't see that out of FLA, and I am not trying to slam all the kids in HS their. If the State was that off the chain we'd have seen it all over the media for years...

The max on the SAT is now 2400. There is an 800 point graded writing section that is sometimes included in the total.

Multiply that 1428 average by 2/3, and you get roughly 950. That's the "true" average on a 1600 pt. scale.

I read that he got a 1270.

Rather confusing because the SAT keeps switching how many elements are in the exam. For a long time there was Math and Reading for a max score of 1,600. Then the SAT added a 3rd writing element increasing the maximum to 2,400. Recently the SAT went back to the two section format with a 1,600 max score.

Not.

Hogg is certainly not stupid but that's pretty high.

I went to a prep school in Pittsburgh back in the early 60's, and one fine fellow in our senior class scored a perfect 1600 on the test.

And ........ he was actually a cool, really good looking guy who appreciated the ladies.

I found out years later that he went to a fine university, took all the right courses to be a "star of society".

Well ....... it turns out he moved off to Nebraska and became a very highly respected and happy chicken farmer.

What a guy!! LOL.

The modern-day SAT consists of two different sections, one focused on mathematics and computation, and one focused on evidence-based writing and reading. Takers can score up to 1600 points on the overall test, with a total of 800 potential points per section.

This replaced the 2400 point scale prior to 2016.

Maybe Hogg’s 1400+ score is an old score on the 2400 system.

SAT now in three parts, 800 each. So SAT of 1428 is 476 each section. Below the 500 average. However, he applied to (and was rejected) by four California colleges, which strongly suggests that, when he WAS a high school student, it was in California, as out-of-state U.S. citizens pay out-of-state tuition.
