The lowest score you can get on the SAT is... 0!
 
You get 200 points for signing your name.  You
gain x points for answering questions correctly,
but lose y points for answering incorrectly -- this
is why it's not in your interest to guess if you
can't eliminate at least one selection.
 
If you get every question wrong, you get a 0.
 
The national average is about 470ish; it's probably
about the same for student-athletes.  1000
combined is undoubtedly higher than the national
average (hint: the words "damning with faint
praise" rush to mind).
 
All of this was a response to a statement that
so-and-so was as dumb as Dan Quayle on a bad
day.  Did anybody else find it weird that the
immediate rebuttal was to quote an SAT score?
