What is SAT?

The SAT test and the ACT are the two most common standardized exams used in the US for college admissions. Therefore, it is likely that you will have to take one of these two exams if you intend to enroll in an undergraduate program in the United States. However, if you choose the SAT, you should be familiar not only with its scoring pattern but also with related terms such as percentile and average scores in order to better understand your score and performance. In addition, with the introduction of the new SAT in March 2016, you must account for changes in scoring pattern and even test structure when interpreting SAT scores.

How SAT Scores are Calculated?

The sum of the reading, writing, and math scores determines the overall score. However, when calculating, Reading and Writing are combined to form Evidence-based Reading and Writing. The Math section, as well as the Evidence-based section, have separate scoring rules.

The only factors that these two sections have in common in terms of scoring are:
Each section receives a raw score based on the number of correct answers provided.
Each question in the section is worth one point.
There is no negative marking.

SAT Raw Scores Calculation

The SAT raw score calculator only computes the correct answer. You will receive one raw point for each correct answer. The maximum number of SAT raw points is determined by the number of correct answers attempted. Because there are 52 questions on the SAT Reading, the maximum raw score is 52. There are 58 questions in the SAT math section, with a possible raw point of 58, and 44 questions in the writing section. So the maximum raw point possible in writing is 44.

Calculating SAT Math Section Score

Candidates who want to calculate their average Math SAT score must guess how many correct questions they answered out of the total of 58 and scale it with the Math Section Score in the table below. The SAT math section does not have any negative marking. The Math Section is divided into two parts, the first of which contains 20 questions and the second of which contains 38 questions. Candidates must add their estimated correct answers for both sections and map them to their SAT Math Section Score.
