Calculating digital SAT scores

I just completed a digital SAT practice test and I'm unfamiliar with how to calculate my score. Can anyone walk me through the process of scoring the digital SAT? Thanks so much!

Of course! The digital SAT has two main sections: Reading & Writing, and Math. Each section is scored on a scale of 200-800. To calculate your overall score, you'll need to add up the scores from both of these sections. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to score the digital SAT:

1. Raw Scores:

First, you'll need to calculate your raw scores for each section. Your raw score is the number of questions you answered correctly in each section. There's no penalty for guessing, so give yourself one point for each correct answer.

Reading & Writing: Obtain your raw score for both the Reading and Writing sections of the test.

Math: Obtain your raw score for Math, which combines both modules.

2. Convert Raw Scores to Scaled Scores:

To convert your raw scores to scaled scores, you'll need an SAT conversion table. The table may vary slightly between different tests; however, the general process remains the same. Locate your raw score for each section in the conversion table and find its corresponding scaled score.

3. Total Scaled Scores:

Once you have the scaled scores for each section, simply add the two numbers together to find your total scaled score. Your composite SAT score will be between 400 and 1600.

4. Optional: Use a percentile table:

If you'd like to know how your score stacks up against other students, you can use a percentile table. Find your scaled score in the table and check the percentile rank. This shows the percentage of test-takers who scored lower than you did.

Remember that scoring practice tests is just an estimate of how you might perform on the actual SAT. It's important to continue practicing and reviewing the material to improve your skills before test day. Additionally, you might find it helpful to use resources such as the Bluebook™ app, which provides full-length digital SAT practice tests along with scoring tools. Good luck with your preparation!
