Formula

Section Scaled Score ≈ 200 + (Raw / Max Raw) × 600, rounded to nearest 10
Composite = Math Section + Reading & Writing Section

Example

Math raw 44/58 → ~656 → 660. R&W raw 42/54 → ~667 → 670. Composite = 1330, approximately 88th percentile.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • The digital SAT (2024+) has two sections: Math (200–800) and Reading & Writing (200–800), totaling 400–1600. Each section raw score is converted via an equating curve to a scaled score. The College Board publishes official conversion tables after each test.
  • The national average is approximately 1060. Scores of 1200+ put you in the top 25%. For selective colleges (T50), aim for 1350+. For Ivy League and T20 schools, 1500+ is competitive.
  • Super-scoring combines your highest section score from each sitting. If you scored Math 680 on Test 1 and Reading 700 on Test 2, many colleges use a 1380 super score. About 60% of four-year colleges super-score the SAT.
  • The digital SAT launched in 2024 and uses adaptive testing — the second module adjusts difficulty based on your first-module performance. It has fewer questions (98 vs 154) but the same 400–1600 scale.
