A few questions.

For each administration of the SAT, how many students score a 1600?

Also, does anyone know how many of these 1600s come from Georgia?

Perhaps most important: does anyone know where these statistics might be found (more specific than collegeboard.com)?

The College Board publishes average scores per state and number who scored in a range (like 750 to 800) on each section but not how many in each state made a certain score and stats are provided for a graduating class, not per test. See Table 6 at http://www.collegeboard.com/prod_downloads/about/news_info/cbsenior/yr2002/pdf/2002_GEORGIA.pdf

It also publishes number of test takers nationwide (but not per state) in a high school graduating class that scored 1600 on a test (based on scores from sophomore to senior year for such class). That chart for seniors that graduated 2003 can be found at: http://www.collegeboard.com/prod_downloads/about/news_info/cbsenior/yr2003/pdf/2003CBSVM.pdf

As the chart shows 944 students in the high school graduating class for 2003 scored 1600. That is a single sitting score and does not tell you how many have 1600 by scoring 800 math on one test and 800 verbal on another, which has been mentioned as being closer to 3,000.
