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 �rst 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: 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. 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. 2 Created 8/4/2015 SAT Practice Test #3
