I'm Canadian, and as such I have no idea what you're talking about. So I picked the last one. :)

The SAT is the standardize testing for college that everyone has to take before going to college

That's approximately what I already knew. But I don't know what the scores mean, nor do I know what a "good" or "bad" score is.

Why can't they just grade it as a percentage?

Because you can still get a 400 without doing anything.

So you get a 17% for doing nothing. Big deal?

That doesn't equate to a 17% if that's the lowest you can get...it'd be like a 0% since you cant go lower

Percentages would provide a false representation of your score. You say getting a 400 is 17%, but it really isn't. 17% would imply that on the test, if it was 100 reading and 100 math questions, one would get 34 correct, which in the case of the SAT, is incorrect. For the raw score, you get 1 point for a correct answer, 0 points for a blank, and -0.25 for an erroneous answer. Using percentages wouldn't be logical in this case, imo.
