An estimate from a curve modeled on released practice tests, not an official score. Real scaled scores depend on the exact test form and its adaptive second module.
How SAT scoring works
- How is the Digital SAT scored?
- Each section — Reading and Writing, and Math — is scored from 200 to 800, and the two add up to a total from 400 to 1600. Only correct answers count; there is no penalty for a wrong answer, so never leave a question blank.
- How accurate is this calculator?
- It is an estimate. College Board converts raw answers with a scale specific to each test form, which also depends on whether you were routed to the easier or harder second module. This calculator uses a curve modeled on released practice tests, so treat the result as a close guide with a range of about 30 points either way per section.
- How many questions can I miss and still get a 1500?
- Very few. On this estimate a 1500 takes about 51 of 54 in Reading and Writing and 41 of 44 in Math — roughly three missed questions in each section — though the exact number moves from form to form. Move the sliders to see how different combinations add up.
- Why do the top scores need almost every question right?
- The scale is steepest at the ends. Near the top, each question separates students who are all very strong, so a single question can be worth up to 20 points. In the middle of the scale, each question is worth about 10.
