Module 2 (Reading and Writing):
- Another 27 questions.
- Adaptive in nature, adjusting based on your Module 1 performance.

About the Digital SAT® Score Calculator
The Digital SAT® Score Calculator is a tool designed to help students estimate their SAT scores based on their performance on the digital version of the SAT exam. The SAT, administered by the College Board, is used for college admissions in the U.S. The digital SAT differs slightly from the traditional paper-based version, and the scoring system adapts to this format.
Key Features:
- Score Prediction: Input the number of correct and incorrect answers for each section to estimate your overall score (400-1600 scale).
- Section-wise Breakdown: View individual section scores (Math, Reading, and Writing) and get insights into your performance.
- Raw to Scaled Score Conversion: Convert raw scores into scaled scores, matching the official College Board format.
- Time-saving: Quickly understand your standing before official results, helping you focus on areas for improvement.
What is "Adaptive Scoring" in Digital SAT?
"Adaptive Scoring" in the digital SAT refers to the new multistage adaptive testing approach that the College Board has introduced for the SAT's digital format. This means that the difficulty level of the test adapts based on the student's performance during the exam.
How it works:
Two-Stage Structure:
- The test is divided into two sections per subject area: Reading and Writing, and Math
- Each of these sections has two stages, often called modules
First Module (Stage 1):
All students start with a set of questions of moderate difficulty.
Second Module (Stage 2):
Based on how well the student performs in the first module, the second module adjusts its difficulty:
- If a student performs well in the first module, they will receive more challenging questions in the second module.
- If a student struggles with the first module, the second module will offer questions of lower or moderate difficulty.
Scoring Implications:
- The performance in both modules is used to calculate the final score.
- Students who answer more challenging questions correctly can achieve higher scores than those who answer easier questions.
- However, even if a student is given easier questions in the second module, they can still achieve a good score based on how they perform overall.
Benefits of Adaptive Scoring:
- Efficiency: Adaptive testing makes the test shorter while maintaining its accuracy by targeting questions to the student's skill level.
- Precision: This method provides a more precise measurement of a student's abilities by adjusting difficulty in real-time.
- Reduced Test Anxiety: By tailoring the questions to a student's ability level, it can make the test experience less overwhelming.
