How the SAT is scored
The SAT reports a Total score from 400 to 1600, the sum of a Reading and Writing section score and a Math section score.
Reading and Writing has 54 questions in 64 minutes, and Math has 44 questions in 70 minutes. Each section is adaptive: how a student does on its first module decides whether the second module is easier or harder. Multiple-choice questions offer 4 answer choices, and some math questions ask for an entered answer instead.
Wrong answers cost nothing, because only correct answers count toward the score, so leaving a question blank never helps and every question is worth a guess.
What the paper is made of
| Section | Questions |
|---|---|
| Reading and Writing | 54 |
| Math | 44 |
What the app estimates
As you practice, the app keeps an estimate of your ability per section and maps it onto the Total score scale. It is the app's own estimate from your answers, not an official conversion table.
| Ability estimate | Total score |
|---|---|
| 250 | 720 |
| 350 | 820 |
| 450 | 930 |
| 550 | 1080 |
| 650 | 1220 |
| 750 | 1360 |
Every question is picked for where you are right now, wrong answers come back until they stick, and it all works offline.
