About the SAT Score Calculator
The digital SAT has two sections, Reading and Writing and Math, each scored 200–800, for a total of 400–1600. The test is adaptive: the second module of each section is easier or harder depending on your first module, so there's no fixed raw-to-scaled conversion table. Use the official Bluebook practice tests for an accurate scaled score.
The formula
Total = Reading and Writing + Math
Worked example
Example: Total SAT score = 1430 / 1600
- Inputs: Reading and Writing: 700; Math: 730.
- Formula: Total = Reading and Writing + Math
- Result: Total SAT score = 1430 / 1600
Things to keep in mind
- Estimating a scaled score from raw answers isn't reliable on the adaptive digital SAT.
