Understanding Your SAT Score
Your SAT score is composed of two main section scores, which are then combined to create your total score.
Reading & Writing (RW)
This section combines questions from two modules that test your reading comprehension, command of evidence, and grammar skills. Your raw number of correct answers (out of 54) is converted to a scaled score between 200 and 800.
Math
This section includes two modules testing your skills in Algebra, Advanced Math, Problem-Solving, and Data Analysis. Your raw number of correct answers (out of 58) is converted to a scaled score between 200 and 800.
What is a "Good" SAT Score?
A "good" score depends entirely on your goals. Our calculator provides an insight to help you understand your competitiveness.
Good (1050-1190)
A score in this range is around the national average, making you a solid candidate for a wide variety of state universities and other colleges.
Strong (1200-1390)
This score range makes you a competitive applicant for more selective universities and may open doors to scholarship opportunities.
Excellent (1400-1600)
Scores in this top tier make you a highly competitive applicant for the most selective, top-tier universities in the country, including Ivy League schools.
Frequently Asked Questions
Get quick answers to common questions about the SAT and our score calculator.
Is the score conversion the same for every SAT test?
No. The College Board uses a process called "equating" to adjust the raw-to-scaled score conversion for each test date. This accounts for minor differences in difficulty between tests. Our calculator uses a representative conversion table that provides a very accurate estimate, but your official score report may vary slightly.
Do colleges see my section scores or just the total?
Colleges see both your total score and your individual section scores. Some programs may place more emphasis on one section over another. For example, a highly competitive engineering program might look for a particularly strong Math score, while a humanities program might focus more on the Reading & Writing score.
What is a percentile and why does it matter?
Your percentile shows you what percentage of other test-takers you scored higher than. For example, if you are in the 75th percentile, it means you scored better than 75% of students who took the test. It's a way to measure your performance relative to a national sample, which gives colleges important context about your score.
