SAT Score Calculator

Free, and no account needed.

Enter how many questions you answered correctly in each module and this calculator converts your raw score into a digital SAT score out of 1600. Each section — Reading & Writing, and Math — is scored from 200 to 800. There is no penalty for a wrong answer, so a blank question and a wrong question cost you the same thing. The conversion below is the one Pursu uses to score practice tests inside the app.

Turn your raw score into a real SAT score

Enter how many questions you got right in each module. The digital SAT is adaptive, so your two modules are scored differently — that’s why we ask for them separately.

Why one raw score can produce two different results

Most SAT score calculators ask for a single number: how many questions you got right. That made sense on the paper test, where every student sat the same form. The digital SAT does not work that way.

Each section is section-adaptive. You sit Module 1, and your performance there decides whether Module 2 is the easier or the harder version. Questions in the harder Module 2 are worth more. So two students who both answer 40 of 54 Reading & Writing questions correctly can finish with meaningfully different scores, depending on which 40 they got and which module routed them where.

That is why the calculator above asks for your modules separately. It is a closer model of the real thing than a single raw total, and it is the reason your score can move without your number of correct answers changing at all.

How the sections are built

What students actually score

Everything above is public knowledge. This part is not. Pursu students log their Official SAT Practice Test results inside the app, and as of August 2026 we hold 453 recorded results from 285 students. Three things in that data are worth knowing when you look at the number the calculator just gave you.

The median is 1270

A quarter of results land below 1110 and a quarter above 1400. If you calculated something in the 1200s, you are close to the middle of a group that is already actively studying — which is a tougher comparison than the national average, not an easier one.

Retaking does not reliably raise your score

Of the 78 students with two or more recorded tests, the median gain from first to last was 30 points — and 27% scored lower the second time. Sitting the test again is not a strategy on its own. What you change between attempts is the strategy.

Most students are not a “math person” or an “English person”

Average Math was 622 and average Reading & Writing 618 — four points apart. And it splits almost evenly: 44% scored higher in Math, the rest higher in Reading & Writing. The section you believe is your weakness is usually much closer to the other one than it feels.

How we measured this

Source.
Official SAT Practice Test results self-recorded by students in the Pursu app. We do not administer these tests; students enter the score the College Board’s own practice test gave them.
Sample.
453 results from 285 students, as of 2026-08-07.
Retake figures.
Based on the 83 students with two or more recorded results, first to last by test date. We excluded 5 whose score moved by more than 400 points, which we read as partial or abandoned entries rather than real swings — leaving 78.
What this is not.
It is not a representative sample of SAT takers. Everyone here chose to study with a paid tool and chose to record their result, which is why the median sits well above the national average. Use it to locate yourself among students who are actively preparing — a harder comparison than the national picture, not an easier one.
Updates.
Recomputed as the sample grows; the date above always reflects the last recount.

What this calculator cannot tell you

It gives you a number. It does not tell you which questions cost you the most points, or which skill to work on next — and those are the things that actually change the number next time. If you got 34 of 44 Math questions right, the score is the same whether you lost those ten marks to careless arithmetic or to a topic you have never understood. The fix is completely different.

That gap is the reason we built Pursu: it scores your practice tests with the same conversion used above, then shows you which skills are costing you the most points and what to practise next. Pursu is a paid product at $29.99 a month. This calculator, and the vocabulary tools, are free to use with no account.

Common questions

How is the digital SAT scored?
Each of the two sections — Reading & Writing, and Math — is scored from 200 to 800, and the two add together for a total between 400 and 1600. There is no penalty for a wrong answer, so leaving a question blank and answering it incorrectly cost you exactly the same.
Why does this calculator ask for each module separately?
The digital SAT is section-adaptive. Each section is split into two modules, and how you perform in Module 1 determines whether you get an easier or harder Module 2. Because of that, two students with the same total number of correct answers can end up with different scores. Asking for the modules separately gets closer to how the exam actually scores you than a single raw total can.
How many questions are on the digital SAT?
Reading & Writing has two modules of 27 questions each, and Math has two modules of 22 questions each — 98 questions in total.
How accurate is this estimate?
It uses the same conversion Pursu applies when scoring practice tests inside the app, so it is consistent with what our own students see. It is still an estimate: the College Board publishes a slightly different raw-to-scaled conversion for every test form, and your real Module 2 difficulty depends on your Module 1 performance. Treat the result as a close range rather than an exact score.
Is there a penalty for guessing on the SAT?
No. The digital SAT has no wrong-answer penalty, so you should answer every question even when you are unsure.
