In any case scores of 780 and 800 are assigned to preserve the statistical validity of the results -- if every top score was assigned 800, then the statistical properties on which the whole SAT game is based would be invalidated. If you really wanted 800 on your SAT, you should have made sure that your mother's maiden name (or whatever this year's randomiser was) had the proper letters in it.
