How the sAT Score Calculator works
The SAT reports each section from 200 to 800, and the digital test converts your raw performance to that scale with a curve that shifts slightly between test dates. This estimator applies a typical linear conversion so practice results become a realistic planning number.
Section ≈ 200 + (correct ÷ total questions) × 600, rounded to the nearest 10
Example: 40 of 54 correct in Reading and Writing and 44 of 58 in Math estimates to about 640 + 660 = 1300 total.
Frequently asked questions
Why is this an estimate and not exact?
The digital SAT is adaptive and each test date has its own equating curve, which the College Board does not publish per question. Real scores typically land within about 30 to 50 points of a linear estimate.
What is a good SAT score?
The national average sits near 1050. A 1200 beats roughly three quarters of test takers, 1350 or higher is competitive at selective colleges, and 1500 plus is elite.
Do wrong answers lose points?
No, there is no penalty for guessing on the SAT, so never leave a question blank.
