SAT Score Calculator - Estimate Your Digital SAT Score and Percentile
Estimate your SAT score
About 88% of test takers scored at or below this total.
You are 10 points above your target of 1300.
Estimates based on published practice-test conversions. The digital SAT is adaptive, so the same number of correct answers can map to a slightly different score depending on module difficulty. Official scores come only from College Board.
| Attempt | Reading and Writing | Math | Total | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1350 | |||
| 2 | 1380 |
Best Reading and Writing 700 + best Math 700 across 2 attempts.

How SAT scoring works
The digital SAT has two sections, Reading and Writing with 54 questions and Math with 44, each reported on a 200 to 800 scale for a total of 400 to 1600. There is no penalty for wrong answers. The number of correct answers is converted to the scaled score through a table that differs slightly from one test form to another. This tool applies the typical conversion from published practice tests, shows the likely range, and places the total on the national percentile distribution.
Steps
- 1 Count your correct answers in each section, for instance from a practice test answer key, and enter them. Add a target total if you have one.
- 2 Read the estimated section scores, the total and the likely range. The percentile line tells you how the total compares with other test takers.
- 3 If you already have official section scores from one or more test dates, switch to the second mode to see each total and your superscore.
Why the result is a range
Since 2024 the SAT is adaptive: your performance on the first module decides whether the second module is harder or easier, and the scaled score accounts for that difficulty. Two students with the same number of correct answers can therefore receive scores about 20 to 40 points apart. The estimate here is the middle of the published conversions, and the range of plus or minus 30 points covers most forms.
What a superscore is
Many colleges superscore the SAT: they take your best Reading and Writing score and your best Math score from different test dates and add them. A 650 and 700 on one date and 700 and 680 on another gives a superscore of 1400, higher than either single total. Check each college's policy, since some use the highest single-date total instead.
Percentiles and what counts as a good score
The national percentile compares your total with a representative sample of United States students. A 1200 is around the 74th percentile, a 1400 around the 94th and a 1500 the 98th. A good score depends on the colleges you apply to; most publish the middle 50 percent range of admitted students, and landing at or above that range is the practical target.
Limits of this estimate
The conversion tables and percentiles are approximations from published College Board practice materials and national data for recent years. They are not the official scoring of any specific test date. Use the tool to plan practice and set targets; your official score report is the only authoritative result.
