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.

Understanding the Process
Adaptive Scoring Explained
The digital SAT uses a multistage adaptive testing approach that adjusts question difficulty based on your performance.
First Module
All students begin with moderate difficulty questions to establish their baseline performance level.
Second Module
Question difficulty adjusts based on first module performance, providing a more personalized assessment.
Benefits
Increased efficiency, better precision, and reduced test anxiety through targeted question difficulty.
Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to the most common questions about the Digital SAT® and scoring system.
-
The Digital SAT® is launching in Spring 2024 for U.S. students. It's a shorter, computer-based version of the traditional SAT that uses adaptive testing technology to provide a more personalized assessment.
-
A "good" score depends on your target schools. Generally, scores above 1200 (74th percentile) are considered good, above 1400 are excellent (94th percentile), and 1600 is perfect. The average score is between 1010-1060.
-
The Digital SAT® consists of two main sections: Math and Reading & Writing. Each section has two modules, and the difficulty of the second module adapts based on your performance in the first module.
-
The total score ranges from 400-1600, combining scores from Math (200-800) and Reading & Writing (200-800). Raw scores from each module are converted to scaled scores, considering the adaptive difficulty levels.
-
Key changes include shorter test duration (2h14m vs 3h), adaptive testing, digital format, and faster score reporting. The test is also more focused with shorter reading passages and streamlined math questions.
-
Scoring 1400 puts you in the 97th percentile for the nationally representative sample and the 94th percentile among SAT® takers. To achieve this, you can typically only miss around seven questions in each section (Math and Reading & Writing).
-
Raw scores are simply the number of questions answered correctly. Scale scores (200-800 per section) are converted from raw scores, taking into account the test's adaptive difficulty levels to ensure fair comparison across different test forms.
-
The SAT® isn't curved relative to test takers. Instead, it undergoes an "equating" process to ensure scores are comparable across different test dates, meaning a 500 on one test date equals a 500 on another.
-
To calculate your superscore, compile scores from all your SAT® test dates and take your highest Math score and highest Reading & Writing score, even if they're from different test dates. Add these highest section scores together for your superscore.
-
Yes, 1200 is a good score. It puts you in the 81st percentile for the nationally representative sample and the 74th percentile for SAT® test takers, placing you in the top quartile of test takers.
-
Access your score report at studentscores.collegeboard.org. You'll see your total score, section scores, test scores (number correct/incorrect), cross-test scores, and subscores. The report uses color coding to help identify areas for improvement.
-
The Digital SAT® includes a built-in graphing calculator for all Math questions. You can also bring your own approved calculator. The digital calculator includes all standard scientific calculator functions plus graphing capabilities.
