The digital SAT is adaptive: the second module of each section is easier or harder depending on how you did in the first, and harder questions are worth more. That means there is no fixed conversion from raw score to scaled score – the College Board equates each test form. This calculator uses a smooth curve fitted to typical practice-test conversions, so treat it as an estimate.
How to use the SAT Score Calculator
- Reading and Writing – module 1 correct (of 27)
- Reading and Writing – module 2 correct (of 27)
- Math – module 1 correct (of 22)
- Math – module 2 correct (of 22)
Results update as you type, and every field accepts the units shown in its menu.
How it works
Enter the number of questions you answered correctly in each module.
Tips
- Track a typical week before planning – real figures beat estimates.
- Break big tasks into smaller pieces and plan buffer time for interruptions.
- Re-run the numbers when your inputs change so plans stay realistic.
- Use results as a guide for decisions, not as a precise prediction.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Counting calendar days when the deadline is in working days (or the reverse).
- Forgetting breaks, setup and handover time.
- Assuming every day is as productive as your best day.

What each result means
- Reading and Writing (estimate) = 10×round((200 + 600×(([Reading and Writing – module 1 correct (of 27)] + [Reading and Writing – module 2 correct (of 27)])÷54)^0.9)÷10)
- Math (estimate) = 10×round((200 + 600×(([Math – module 1 correct (of 22)] + [Math – module 2 correct (of 22)])÷44)^0.9)÷10)
- Total SAT score (estimate) = [Reading and Writing (estimate)] + [Math (estimate)]
Formula
Section score ≈ 200 + 600 × (correct ÷ total)^0.9, rounded to 10Total = Reading and Writing + MathWorked example
Inputs — Reading and Writing – module 1 correct (of 27): 22; Reading and Writing – module 2 correct (of 27): 20; Math – module 1 correct (of 22): 18; Math – module 2 correct (of 22): 16.
Results — Reading and Writing (estimate) = 680; Math (estimate) = 680; Total SAT score (estimate) = 1,360; Approximate percentile band = About 90th–97th.
Frequently asked questions
What is a good SAT score?
About 1050 is average; 1200+ is above average and 1400+ is competitive for selective colleges.
Why is the estimate not exact?
The digital SAT is adaptive and each form is equated separately, so the same raw score can map to slightly different scaled scores.
How many questions are on the digital SAT?
54 in Reading and Writing and 44 in Math, in two modules each.
What formula does the SAT Score Calculator use?
Section score ≈ 200 + 600 × (correct ÷ total)^0.9, rounded to 10.
