<p>Does this data even exist publicly? I am surprised to not be able to find it anywhere on the net, let alone the CB website.</p>
<p>Most likely not. The only place it exists is probably the bowels of the CollegeBoard Headquarters in New York, New york.</p>
<p>CB on-line archives probably take you back about ten years, otherwise, you will find mostly anecdotal information. Before the writing test was added in 2005, about 900 a year scored 1600 going back into the 1990s. Before recentering of the SAT in 1994, 1600 was a rare score with only 7 to 10 scoring it each year. Before the mid-1970s, preparation for the test was actually discouraged with students often being told to do no more than review the brief explanatory handout that ETS prepared. I think it was not until the late 1960s that the first publicized 1600 occurred.</p>
