"When did they change the top score of SAT’s from 1400 (700 math/700 verbal) to 2400?"
It was 800/800 before. They added a written section a few years back.
This probably wouldn't be nearly as rare if most people didn't take just one of the two tests. The daughter of one my high school teachers got a perfect on both back when perfect on the SAT was 1600. In Arkansas where I went to high school most people took the ACT and I knew a few folks with perfect scores, but when I went to the U of Georgia most folks took the SAT and I knew a few people with perfect scores.
