SAT score calculator

Add your Reading and Writing and Math section scores, superscore across test dates and see exactly how many points you need for your target.

Quick answer

Your SAT total is your Reading and Writing section score plus your Math section score. Each section is scored 200–800 in steps of 10, so totals run from 400 to 1600. A superscore adds your best Reading and Writing score and your best Math score from different test dates, if a college accepts superscores.

How SAT scores work

Two section scores

Reading and Writing and Math are each reported from 200 to 800. The total is their sum, from 400 to 1600.

Adaptive modules

Each section has two modules. Your performance in module 1 decides whether module 2 is easier or harder on average.

Not just how many

College Board uses item response theory, so which questions you answer correctly matters, not only the count.

Superscoring

Some colleges combine your best section scores from different dates. Check each college's policy.

SAT score calculator FAQ

How is the SAT total score calculated?

Add your Reading and Writing section score (200–800) and your Math section score (200–800). The total ranges from 400 to 1600.

Can I convert the number of questions I got right into an SAT score?

Not exactly. The Digital SAT is adaptive and scored with item response theory, so the same number of correct answers can lead to different scores. Use the full-length practice tests in College Board's Bluebook app for an official practice score.

What is an SAT superscore?

A superscore combines your highest Reading and Writing score and your highest Math score from different test dates. Whether it is used depends on each college's admission policy.

What score ranges do the PSAT tests use?

The PSAT/NMSQT and PSAT 10 report totals from 320 to 1520 (sections 160–760). The PSAT 8/9 reports totals from 240 to 1440 (sections 120–720).
