Meaning the questions you answer are technically out of 600?

Not really. Your raw score is converted to a scaled score in [200, 800]. Essentially, one could simply subtract each section score by 200; idk why [200, 800] is used. The national average on each section is around 500, with standard deviation around 100.

Additionally, the SAT essay accounts for roughly a third of your writing score.
