PrepScholar Scoring Sat Practice Test 3
Congratulations on completing an SAT® practice test. To score your test, use these instructions
and the conversion tables and answer key at the end of this document.
Scores Overview
The redesigned SAT will provide more information about your learning by reporting more
scores than ever before. Each of the redesigned assessments (SAT, PSAT/NMSQT®, PSAT™ 10,
and PSAT™ 8/9) will report test scores and cross-test scores on a common scale. Additionally,
subscores will be reported to provide additional diagnostic information to students, educators,
and parents. For more details about scores, visit collegereadiness.collegeboard.org/sat/scores.
The practice test you completed was written by the College Board’s Assessment Design &
Development team using the same processes and review standards used when writing the
actual SAT. Everything from the layout of the page to the construction of the questions accurately
reflects what you’ll see on test day.
GET SET UP
You’ll need the answer sheet that you bubbled in while taking the practice test. You’ll also
need the conversion tables and answer key at the end of this document.
Using the answer key, count up your total correct answers for each section. You may want
to write the number of correct answers for each section at the bottom of that section in the
answer key.
Using your marked-up answer key and the conversion tables, follow the directions to get all
of your scores.
EXAMPLE: Ada answered 28 of the 52 questions correctly on the SAT Reading Test and 18 of
the 44 questions correctly on the SAT Writing and Language Test. Using the table on page 7, she
calculates that she received an SAT Reading Test score of 27 and an SAT Writing and Language
Test score of 23. She adds 27 to 23 (gets 50) and then multiplies by 10 to determine her SAT
Evidence-Based Reading and Writing Section score of 500.
