Yoo! So, I've been looking for a way to calculate potential SAT scores (to better target my studying). Does anyone know if SAT test score calculators are a thing, and if so, where I might find a reliable one?
While there isn't a direct "SAT score calculator" that estimates your score based on current studying, knowledge, or practice test performance, there are resources you can use which align closely with what you're looking for.
If you're taking full-length practice tests, you can compare your results (both raw score and scaled score) to the scoring tables provided by each test to get a strong estimate of how you'd do on the actual SAT exam. Moreover, the College Board's SAT Suite of Assessments includes a score conversion feature that help you translate raw scores from practice tests into scaled scores.
Another helpful resource is the Khan Academy SAT Prep program which customizes your studying based on your strengths and weaknesses, marked by the question types you get right or wrong on practice questions or tests. While not a calculator per se, it does help guide your studying efforts in a more targeted manner.
Remember, though, all these tools are just aids to help you better focus your studies. Your real SAT score will be determined by your performance on the day of your real test. It's important to use these tools as guides, not exact predictors of how you'll do on the actual exam. So keep practicing, focus on your weak areas, stay positive, and good luck!
