SAT Score Reports

The SAT report will typically include some important information. This includes:

• The Total Score is the combined score from the two sections and can range from 400 to 1600. 
• The Sectional Score is based on how the applicant performed in the Evidence-Based Reading and Writing and Math sections, and this number is between 200 and 800. 
• There are also Subscores for each section, which measure different types of questions and range from 1 to 15. 
• If the candidate took the SAT with the Essay, they will acquire scores between 2 and 8 in three categories: Essay Reading, Essay Analysis, and Essay Writing. These will be listed in a section named Essay Details.
• The percentile ranking of the students will show how they performed on the SAT examination in comparison to other test-takers.

How to calculate aggregate SAT scores?

You can receive a total score on the SAT between 400 and 1600, which is calculated by adding the scores received from the two sections. The raw score for each section, which is calculated by the number of questions answered correctly, is then converted to a 200 to 800 scale. This is due to the fact that different versions of the SAT can be slightly more difficult or easier. 

For instance, the Math Test always has 58 questions and a raw score of 57 will give you an 800 on the scale, whereas on other versions all 58 questions must be answered correctly. This process of balancing various test versions and ensuring equivalent scaled scores is called equating.
