Scoring Your
SAT Practice Test #2
®
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.
How to Calculate Your Practice Test Scores
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.

, GET SECTION AND TOTAL SCORES
Your total score on the SAT practice test is the sum of your Evidence-Based Reading and Writing
Section score and your Math Section score. To get your total score, you will convert what we call
the “raw score” for each section — the number of questions you got right in that section — into
the “scaled score” for that section, then calculate the total score.
GET YOUR EVIDENCE-BASED READING AND WRITING SECTION SCORE
Calculate your SAT Evidence-Based Reading and Writing Section score (it’s on a scale of 200–800)
by first determining your Reading Test score and your Writing and Language Test score. Here’s how:
Count the number of correct answers you got on Section 1 (the Reading Test). There is no
penalty for wrong answers. The number of correct answers is your raw score.
Go to Raw Score Conversion Table 1: Section and Test Scores on page 7. Look in the “Raw Score”
column for your raw score, and match it to the number in the “Reading Test Score” column.
Do the same with Section 2 to determine your Writing and Language Test score.
Add your Reading Test Score to your Writing and Language Test score.
Multiply that number by 10. This is your Evidence-Based Reading and Writing Section score.
EXAMPLE: Micah answered 29 of the 52 questions correctly on the SAT Reading Test and 20
of the 44 questions correctly on the SAT Writing and Language Test. Using the table on page 7,
he calculates that he received an SAT Reading Test score of 27 and an SAT Writing and Language
Test score of 23. He adds 27 to 23 (gets 50) and then multiplies by 10 to determine his SAT
Evidence-Based Reading and Writing Section score of 500.
GET YOUR MATH SECTION SCORE
Calculate your SAT Math Section score (it’s on a scale of 200–800).
Count the number of correct answers you got on Section 3 (Math Test — No Calculator) and
Section 4 (Math Test — Calculator). There is no penalty for wrong answers.
Add the number of correct answers you got on Section 3 (Math Test — No Calculator) and
Section 4 (Math Test — Calculator).
Use Raw Score Conversion Table 1: Section and Test Scores to turn your raw score into your
Math Section score.
GET YOUR TOTAL SCORE
Add your Evidence-Based Reading and Writing Section score to your Math Section score. The
result is your total score on the SAT Practice Test, on a scale of 400–1600.
