How much is each SAT question worth?

So, I'm taking the SAT soon, and I was wondering how much each question is worth on the test. Is it the same point value across all sections? Thanks in advance!

Each SAT question does not have a fixed point value. Instead, the SAT uses a scaled scoring system. Your raw score, which is the number of questions you answered correctly, is converted into a scaled score that ranges from 200 to 800 for the Evidence-Based Reading and Writing section and the Math section, giving you a total possible composite score of 1600.

The conversion from raw scores to scaled scores differs for each specific test administration and is determined by the College Board through a process called equating. Equating accounts for slight variations in difficulty between different test forms and ensures that the scores are comparable across test dates.

To find out how many points each question is worth, the best approach is to focus on maximizing your raw score by answering as many questions correctly as possible and not leaving any unanswered since there is no longer a penalty for incorrect answers on the SAT. Keep in mind that each section's raw score will be converted separately, and the conversion will vary from test to test.

Once you have your raw scores, you can consult the College Board's scoring table (or concordance table) provided in the test booklet or on their website for that specific test administration to determine your scaled scores for each section and the composite score.

Good luck preparing for your SAT!
