     In the 2014 version of the SAT, there were 44 multiple-choice questions in the math (quantitative) section, 67 in the critical reading (qualitative) section, and 47 in the newfangled writing section. Each question has five options, so a random guess has a 20 percent chance of being right. […] The probability of getting all 158 questions right is: ${\displaystyle {\frac {1}{5^{44}}}\times {\frac {1}{5^{67}}}\times {\frac {1}{5^{47}}}\approx {\frac {1}{2.7\times 10^{110}}}}$ That’s one in 27 quinquatrigintillion.
