Determining SAT score

Hey guys, I just took the SAT and I'm a bit confused about how to calculate my score. Can someone explain the process or direct me to a reliable source to figure it out? Thanks!

Sure, I'd be happy to help explain the SAT scoring process. The SAT has two main sections: Evidence-Based Reading and Writing (EBRW) and Math. Each section is scored on a scale of 200 to 800, and the two section scores are combined to give you a total score ranging from 400 to 1600.

Here's a quick overview of how to calculate your scores:

1. EBRW Section: The EBRW section is made up of the Reading Test and the Writing and Language Test. You will first receive a raw score for each test based on the number of questions you answered correctly, with no penalties for incorrect answers. Your raw scores from the Reading Test and the Writing and Language Test are then converted into scaled scores based on the specific test and form you took. These scaled scores are combined and multiplied by 10 to calculate your final EBRW section score.

2. Math Section: The Math section is composed of two modules, both of which allow calculator usage. Like the EBRW section, you receive a raw score based on the total number of correct answers, without any penalties for incorrect answers. Your raw score is then converted into a scaled score based on the specific test and form you took, and the scaled score is multiplied by 20 to obtain your final Math section score.

3. Total Score: Your total score is simply the sum of your EBRW section score and your Math section score.

Keep in mind that the SAT scores you receive from the College Board when they release the official test results will already be calculated, so you won't need to manually calculate the scores yourself. However, if you're practicing with a test prep book or taken an unofficial practice test, the book or resource should provide a scoring guide with a table or instructions to help you calculate your scores.

I hope this helps! Good luck deciphering your SAT score!
