SCORING YOUR TEST
PART 6

To score your tests, first use the answer key to mark each of your responses right or wrong. Then, calculate your raw
score for each section by counting up the number of correct responses. Use the tables below to help you calculate your
scores:

Raw Score (# of Questions Correct)

Section Test 1 Test 2 Test 3 Test 4

1. Reading ________ ________ ________ ________

2. Writing and Language ________ ________ ________ ________

3. Math: No-Calculator ________ ________ ________ ________

4. Math: Calculator ________ ________ ________ ________

Raw Score for Reading (Section 1) ________ ________ ________ ________

Raw Score for Writing and Language (Section 2) ________ ________ ________ ________

Raw Score for Math (Section 3 + 4) ________ ________ ________ ________

SCALED SCORES
Once you have found your raw score for each section, convert it into an approximate scaled test score using the following
chart. To find a scaled test score for each section, find the row in the Raw Score column which corresponds to your raw
score for that section, then check the column for the section you are scoring in the same row. For example, if you had a
raw score of 48 for Reading, then your scaled Reading test score would be 39. Keep in mind that these scaled scores are
estimates only. Your actual SAT score will be scaled against the scores of all other high school students taking the test
on your test date.
