SAT Score Calculator
Your Estimated Total SAT Score
Understanding SAT Scores
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. The SAT is divided into two main sections: Evidence-Based Reading and Writing (EBRW) and Math. Each section is scored on a scale of 200 to 800, resulting in a total composite score ranging from 400 to 1600.
How SAT Scores are Calculated
The scoring of the SAT is not a simple addition of correct answers. Instead, raw scores (number of correct answers) are converted into scaled scores through a process called "equating." This process ensures that scores are comparable across different test administrations, which may vary slightly in difficulty.
For each section (Evidence-Based Reading and Writing, and Math), students receive a scaled score between 200 and 800. The final reported SAT score is the sum of these two section scores, ranging from 400 to 1600.
This calculator provides a straightforward way to estimate your total SAT score by summing your scores from the two main sections. For instance, if you achieve a 650 in Evidence-Based Reading and Writing and a 700 in Math, your total SAT score would be 1350.
Why This Calculator is Useful
- Score Estimation: Provides a quick way to see your potential total score based on your performance in each section.
- Goal Setting: Helps students set realistic score goals for their college applications.
- Understanding Score Ranges: Familiarizes students with the scoring scale and how section scores contribute to the overall score.
Remember, this calculator provides an estimation. For precise score reporting, always refer to your official SAT score report from the College Board.
