Celebrities' SAT Scores Revealed Amid Controversy Over Regrading (Ke$ha 1500, Al Gore 1355) [View all]

As controversy grows over the regrading of SAT examinations, thousands of people have shared their own scores on social networks to put future generations at ease. Well-known figures have been conspicuously quiet about their results, however, but with the likes of Ke$ha, James Woods and Natalie Portman reportedly getting close to a perfect 1600, perhaps they felt they'd only add pressure rather than ease it. Famous faces with far lower SAT scores include Bill Cosby, who got a score lower than 500, Sopranos actress Drea De Matteo, believed to have scored around 800, and even former US President Bill Clinton, whose 1020 puts him a few hundred points below successor George W Bush.

Scarlett Johansson admitted to 'feeling like a big dummy' when she confirmed her score of 1080, but that result actually puts her above the US average. With rumoured scores of 1579, 1500 and 1150, actor James Woods, singer Ke$ha and actress Courtney Cox would also be placed far above average.


As you'd probably expect, Microsoft co-founders Bill Gates and Paul Allen got sky-high 1590 and a perfect 1600 respectively, with Apple's Steve Wozniak also scoring a perfect 800 on the maths section of the examination. Will Smith and James Franco have both admitted getting 'very high' SAT scores in the past but neither has revealed the exact number, while the New York Times has previously reported that actor Ben Affleck 'had near perfect SAT scores in high school'.

Meanwhile talk show host Rush Limbaugh, political commentator Bill O'Reilly and actor and economist Ben Stein picked up near-perfect scores of 1530, 1585 and 1573 respectively. It's not just conservatives with high scores though: Al Gore kept the tally high for the Democrat camp with a score of 1355. Not all celebrities fared brilliantly however, with presenter Howard Stern rumoured to have picked up a low 870, and baseball star Alex Rodriguez reaching just 910.
