SAT Score Calculator

The SAT Score Calculator is designed for simplicity, allowing you to input practice test results and receive an estimated SAT score quickly. Follow these steps to use it effectively:

Step 1: Enter Your Raw Scores

After completing a full-length SAT practice test, count the number of correct answers in each section:

• Reading Test (0–52): Enter the number of correct answers from the 52-question Reading section.
  • Example: If you answered 45 questions correctly, input 45.
• Writing & Language Test (0–44): Enter the number of correct answers from the 44-question Writing & Language section.
  • Example: If you answered 40 questions correctly, input 40.
• Math Test (0–58): Enter the number of correct answers from the 58-question Math section (including both calculator and no-calculator parts).
  • Example: If you answered 52 questions correctly, input 52.
  •  

Step 2: Click “Calculate My SAT Score”

The calculator processes your raw scores, converting them to scaled scores for EBRW and Math, then combines them to provide your total SAT score (400–1600).

Step 3: Analyze Your Results

The tool displays:

• EBRW Score (200–800): Your scaled score for Reading and Writing & Language combined.
• Math Score (200–800): Your scaled score for the Math section.
• Total SAT Score (400–1600): The sum of your EBRW and Math scores.
• Performance Feedback: Insights into how your score compares to averages or percentiles (e.g., average, above average, or competitive for top colleges).
  • Example: A total score of 1250 might indicate you’re in the 80th percentile, outperforming 80% of test-takers.
  •  

Step 4: Use Results to Guide Preparation

• Review which section (EBRW or Math) scored lower to prioritize study efforts.
• Compare your score to your target (e.g., 1300 for a specific college) to set improvement goals.
• Track progress by using the calculator after each practice test.

Tips to Improve Your SAT Score

Once you know your estimated score, use these evidence-based strategies to boost your performance on the SAT in 2025:

1. Focus on Weak Areas:
   • Use the calculator’s breakdown to identify lower-scoring sections (e.g., Reading or Math).
   • Allocate more study time to specific topics, such as vocabulary for Reading or algebra for Math, based on your practice test results.
2. Take Timed Practice Tests:
   • Simulate real SAT conditions by taking full-length practice tests under timed constraints (3 hours, with breaks).
   • Use official College Board practice tests or reputable prep materials for accuracy.
   • Input your results into the SAT Score Calculator after each test to track progress and adjust your study plan.
3. Learn SAT-Specific Strategies:
   • Reading & Writing:
     • Practice active reading by summarizing passages and identifying main ideas.
     • Master grammar rules (e.g., subject-verb agreement, punctuation) for Writing & Language.
     • Use context clues to tackle vocabulary-in-context questions.
   • Math:
     • Focus on high-weight topics like algebra, linear equations, and data analysis.
     • Memorize key formulas (e.g., area of a circle, quadratic formula) provided in the SAT’s reference sheet.
     • Practice problem-solving strategies, such as plugging in answers or eliminating incorrect options.
4. Review Mistakes Thoroughly:
   • Analyze incorrect answers on practice tests to understand why you missed them.
   • Keep an error log to track recurring mistakes (e.g., misreading questions or calculation errors) and address them in future study sessions.
   • Review explanations in practice test answer keys or seek help from a tutor for clarity.
   •  
5. Step:5 Set Incremental Goals:
   1. Aim for realistic score improvements of 50–100 points per study phase (e.g., 4–6 weeks).
   2. Break your target score into smaller milestones, such as improving Reading by 20 points or Math by 30 points.
   3. Celebrate progress to stay motivated, such as rewarding yourself after a practice test score increase.
   4.  
6. Step:6 Leverage High-Quality Resources:
   • Use official College Board resources, including free practice tests on their website or apps like Khan Academy’s SAT Prep.
   • Supplement with reputable prep books (e.g., Princeton Review, Kaplan) or online courses tailored to the 2025 SAT format.
   • Join study groups or attend SAT prep classes for collaborative learning and expert guidance.
   •  
7. Step:7 Prioritize Health and Well-Being:
   • Get 7–8 hours of sleep nightly to improve focus and memory retention during study sessions and on test day.
   • Stay hydrated and eat nutrient-rich foods like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains to support brain function.
   • Incorporate light exercise, such as walking or yoga, to reduce stress and boost energy.
