SAT Score Calculator
Estimate your Digital SAT score from raw scores. Updated for the 2025–2026 test format.
Enter the number of questions you answered correctly in each module.
Scores are approximate estimates. Actual scores may vary based on test form difficulty. This calculator uses approximate conversion tables for the Digital SAT.
How SAT Scores Are Calculated
The Digital SAT has two sections: Reading & Writing (54 questions across 2 modules) and Math (44 questions across 2 modules). Each section is scored on a 200–800 scale, for a total score range of 400–1600. The test is adaptive — your performance on Module 1 determines whether you receive a standard or harder Module 2.
Your raw score (number of correct answers) is converted to a scaled score using College Board's equating process. There's no penalty for wrong answers, so you should answer every question. The conversion tables change slightly between test administrations to account for difficulty differences.

FAQ
What is the adaptive module?
On the Digital SAT, your Module 1 performance determines Module 2 difficulty. If you do well on Module 1, you get a harder Module 2 with a higher score ceiling. This is why toggle "Hard Module 2" matters for score estimation — students routed to the harder module have a higher maximum possible score.
Is the SAT still 1600 points?
Yes. The Digital SAT (launched 2024) is still scored on a 400–1600 scale with two sections: Reading & Writing (200–800) and Math (200–800). The format changed but the scoring scale stayed the same.
