An estimate, not an official score. College Board does not publish raw-to-scale tables for the digital SAT, and it scores each test with its own model. This calculator uses the same estimate as our free SAT practice tests.

Free SAT practice test1-on-1 SAT tutoringHow the digital SAT is scored
The SAT has two sections, each scored from 200 to 800, for a total score from 400 to 1600. Reading and Writing has 54 questions and Math has 44, and each section is split into two equal modules.
The test is adaptive by module. Everyone gets a mixed-difficulty first module. How you do on it decides whether your second module is harder or easier. The harder second module is the only path to the top of the scale, and the same number of correct answers counts for more on it. That is why this calculator asks which second module you got.
A few questions in each section are unscored pretest questions, and College Board weights questions by difficulty, so two students with the same raw score can get slightly different scaled scores. Treat any raw-to-scale conversion, including this one, as an estimate with a range of about ±30 points per section.
How to use it
- Count your correct answers in each section of a full practice test. Unanswered questions count as wrong; there is no penalty for guessing.
- Pick which second modules you got. If you are not sure, the calculator assumes the harder module when you got about 60% or more right.
- Read your estimated section and total scores, with the range.

Frequently asked questions
How is the SAT scored?
Two sections, Reading and Writing and Math, are each scored from 200 to 800. Your total is the sum, from 400 to 1600.
How many questions are on the digital SAT?
98: 54 in Reading and Writing (two 27-question modules, 32 minutes each) and 44 in Math (two 22-question modules, 35 minutes each).
Is this SAT score calculator accurate?
It is an estimate. College Board does not publish raw-to-scale conversion tables for the digital SAT, and it scores every test form separately with a model that weights question difficulty. Expect your official score to land within about 30 points per section of this estimate.
Can I get an 800 if I got the easier second module?
No. The easier second module tops out well below 800, which is why the first module matters so much. Getting most first-module questions right is what routes you to the harder module.
Is there a penalty for wrong answers on the SAT?
No. Only correct answers count, so never leave a question blank.
How can I raise my SAT score?
