How SAT Score is Calculated?

The SAT score is calculated by adding together the scores from two main sections: the Evidence-Based Reading and Writing (EBRW) section and the Math section. Each section is scored on a scale of 200 to 800 points. The raw scores, which represent the number of correct answers, are then equated to scaled scores to adjust for differences in test difficulty across different versions of the SAT.

Finally, the scaled scores from both sections are added together to obtain the total SAT score, which ranges from 400 to 1600. This scoring system allows colleges to evaluate a student's academic abilities in both reading/writing and math, providing a standardized metric for comparing applicants. Detailed info
