The Pennsylvania Department of Education has published the average composite SAT test scores for public high schools statewide.
Each test has a reading, math and writing portion with scores ranging from 200 through 800. Essays are scored separately and range from a score of 2 to 8. Total scores could range from 400 to 1600. There is no passing grade for the SAT, however, many colleges and universities use SAT scores as a factor in determining whether they will admit a student.
