SAT Exam Calculator
Estimate your SAT section scores and total score using raw correct answers.
How the SAT Exam Calculator Works
The SAT is scored on a 400 to 1600 scale, made up of two main sections: Evidence-Based Reading and Writing (EBRW) and Math. Each section is scored from 200 to 800, then combined for the total score.
Raw Scores vs. Scaled Scores
Your raw score is the number of questions you answered correctly in each section. The College Board then converts raw scores into scaled scores using a process called equating, which accounts for slight differences in test difficulty between administrations.
This calculator uses a linear estimate to convert raw scores to scaled scores. It provides a realistic approximation for planning and goal-setting, but your official score may differ slightly due to the actual test's conversion table.
Calculation Method Used
This calculator estimates scores by scaling your correct answers into the SAT's 200-800 range:
- EBRW Raw Correct = Reading Correct + Writing Correct (out of 96)
- Math Raw Correct = Math Correct (out of 58)
- Scaled scores are estimated and rounded to the nearest 10
Example Score Estimate
If a student answers 40 Reading, 35 Writing, and 45 Math questions correctly:
- EBRW Raw Correct = 40 + 35 = 75 out of 96
- Estimated EBRW Score ≈ 200 + (75/96 × 600) ≈ 670
- Estimated Math Score ≈ 200 + (45/58 × 600) ≈ 670
- Estimated Total SAT Score ≈ 1340
When to Use This Calculator
This SAT exam calculator is ideal for students who want to track progress across practice tests, set realistic score goals, or compare sectional strengths. Because it estimates the scaling curve, it's best used for planning and trend analysis rather than precise prediction.
Score Planning Tips
Use your estimated section scores to identify which area offers the best opportunity for improvement. For example, increasing your Math raw score by 5 points often yields a meaningful bump in the overall SAT score. Consistent practice and targeted review can make the largest difference over time.
