Understanding the SAT Score Calculator
The SAT (Scholastic Assessment Test) is a standardized test widely used for college admissions in the United States. It is designed to assess a student's readiness for college-level work.
How SAT Scores Work
The SAT is divided into two main sections:
Evidence-Based Reading and Writing (EBRW): This section tests critical reading, understanding of grammar, and essay writing skills (though the essay is now optional and scored separately). It is scored on a scale of 200-800.
Math: This section assesses a student's knowledge of algebra, problem-solving and data analysis, and advanced math concepts. It is also scored on a scale of 200-800.
Your total SAT score is the sum of your scores from these two sections. The total score ranges from a minimum of 400 (200 from each section) to a maximum of 1600 (800 from each section).
How This Calculator Works
This calculator simplifies the process of understanding your potential total SAT score. Simply input your estimated or actual scores for the Math section and the Evidence-Based Reading and Writing section. The calculator will then sum these two scores to provide your total SAT score, ranging from 400 to 1600.
Formula:
Total SAT Score = Math Score + Evidence-Based Reading and Writing Score
