Frequently Asked Questions
How is the SAT scored?
The SAT is scored on a 400-1600 scale. It consists of two main sections: Evidence-Based Reading and Writing (EBRW) and Math. Each section is scored from 200 to 800. Your raw score (the number of questions you answered correctly) is converted into a scaled score to account for slight differences in difficulty between different test versions. There is no penalty for guessing.
What is a good SAT score for international students?
A "good" SAT score depends entirely on the university you are applying to. For top-tier US universities (like the Ivy League), a score above 1500 is typically competitive. For many excellent state universities, a score around 1200-1350 is highly competitive. Always check the specific middle 50% SAT ranges of admitted students at your target universities.
How do I convert raw score to scaled?
You can convert your raw score to a scaled score using our free SAT Score Calculator above, or by referring to the specific scoring guide provided with your official College Board practice test. Note that the exact conversion curve changes slightly with every test form, so results are always estimates.
