Can you get a 1600 with an easy Module 2?

By Updated 1 September 2026

No. The easier Module 2 carries a scaled ceiling of roughly 650 in Reading and Writing and 670 in Math, so the highest total available on that path is about 1320. Reaching 1600 requires routing into the harder Module 2 in both sections, which means clearing roughly 18 of 27 in Reading and Writing Module 1 and 15 of 22 in Math Module 1.

The Module 1 thresholds are the actionable part of this. Roughly 18 of 27 in Reading and Writing and 15 of 22 in Math is what routing costs, and those are achievable margins, which is why a 1600 attempt is decided long before the hard questions arrive.
