Enter your correct counts for Reading & Writing and Math. Each section maps to a 200–800 scaled score using a representative College Board equating curve, and your total = RW + Math (400–1600). College Board equates each test form separately, so the exact raw→scaled curve differs by test date — this calculator gives a planning estimate.
The SAT reports two section scores — Reading & Writing and Math — each on a 200–800 scale, for a 400–1600 total. Because College Board equates (statistically adjusts) every form, there is no single official raw-to-scaled table. The calculator below uses a representative curve so you can turn a practice-test raw count into a realistic scaled score instantly.
Enter the number of questions you answered correctly in each section. We convert your raw counts to the 200–800 section scales and add them for your 400–1600 total using a representative College Board equating curve.
The digital SAT has 54 RW and 44 Math questions; the paper SAT had 58 Math questions. The counts above are a representative 0–58 scale — adjust your correct-count total to match your test form. College Board equates each form separately, so every real curve is slightly different.
Your raw score is simply the number of questions you answered correctly in a section. College Board converts that raw score to a scaled score (200–800) through equating, which accounts for small differences in difficulty between forms. The total SAT score is the sum of the two section scores:
The anchors below approximate the SAT equating curve. We linearly interpolate between them for any raw count. This is a planning approximation, not an official College Board table — every real test form has its own curve.
| Raw correct (0–58) | Scaled section score |
|---|---|
| 0 | 200 |
| 5 | 270 |
| 10 | 330 |
| 15 | 390 |
| 20 | 440 |
| 25 | 490 |
| 30 | 540 |
| 35 | 580 |
| 40 | 620 |
| 44 | 660 |
| 48 | 700 |
| 52 | 740 |
| 55 | 770 |
| 58 | 800 |
Anchor points only; the calculator linearly interpolates between them for any raw count.
Add up the questions you answered correctly in a section (your raw score), then map it to the 200–800 scaled score with College Board’s equating table. Each SAT form is equated separately, so the exact curve varies — our calculator uses a representative curve so you can plan. RW and Math each scale 200–800; the total is their sum (400–1600).
College Board reports each section on a 200–800 scale and equates every form so scores are comparable across test dates. The conversion from raw correct count to scaled score is deliberately nonlinear and form-specific, which is why a fixed table is only an approximation.
The national midpoint is about 1050 (520 per section). A 1200+ is roughly the 75th percentile, and 1400+ is competitive for selective schools. These are planning targets, not guarantees — check each college’s published middle-50% range.
The digital SAT has 54 Reading & Writing questions and 44 Math questions (98 total). The older paper SAT had 58 Math questions. Our calculator uses a representative 0–58 correct-count scale per section; enter your total correct count for the form you took.
