practice test. To score your test, use these instructions
and the conversion tables and answer key at the end of this document.
Scores Overview
The redesigned SAT will provide more information about your learning by reporting more
scores than ever before. Each of the redesigned assessments (SAT, PSAT/NMSQT
®
, PSAT™ 10,
and PSAT™ 8/9) will report test scores and cross-test scores on a common scale. Additionally,
subscores will be reported to provide additional diagnostic information to students, educators,
and parents. For more details about scores, visit collegereadiness.collegeboard.org/sat/scores.
The practice test you completed was written by the College Board’s Assessment Design &
Development team using the same processes and review standards used when writing the
actual SAT. Everything from the layout of the page to the construction of the questions accurately
reflects what you’ll see on test day.
How to Calculate Your Practice Test Scores
GET SET UP
You’ll need the answer sheet that you bubbled in while taking the practice test. You’ll also
need the conversion tables and answer key at the end of this document.
Using the answer key, count up your total correct answers for each section. You may want
to write the number of correct answers for each section at the bottom of that section in the
answer key.
Using your marked-up answer key and the conversion tables, follow the directions to get all
of your scores.

GET SECTION AND TOTAL SCORES
Your total score on the SAT practice test is the sum of your Evidence-Based Reading and Writing
Section score and your Math Section score. To get your total score, you will convert what we call
the “raw score” for each section — the number of questions you got right in that section — into
the “scaled score” for that section, then calculate the total score.
GET YOUR EVIDENCE-BASED READING AND WRITING SECTION SCORE
Calculate your SAT Evidence-Based Reading and Writing Section score (it’s on a scale of 200–
800) by first determining your Reading Test score and your Writing and Language Test score.
Here’s how:
Count the number of correct answers you got on Section 1 (the Reading Test). There is no
penalty for wrong answers. The number of correct answers is your raw score.
Go to Raw Score Conversion Table 1: Section and Test Scores on page 7. Look in the “Raw Score”
column for your raw score, and match it to the number in the “Reading Test Score” column.
Do the same with Section 2 to determine your Writing and Language Test score.
Add your Reading Test score to your Writing and Language Test score.
Multiply that number by 10. This is your Evidence-Based Reading and Writing Section score.
EXAMPLE: Sofia answered 29 of the 52 questions correctly on the SAT Reading Test and 19 of
the 44 questions correctly on the SAT Writing and Language Test. Using the table on page 7, she
calculates that she received an SAT Reading Test score of 27 and an SAT Writing and Language
Test score of 23. She adds 27 to 23 (gets 50) and then multiplies by 10 to determine her SAT
Evidence-Based Reading and Writing Section score of 500.
GET YOUR MATH SECTION SCORE
Calculate your SAT Math Section score (it’s on a scale of 200–800).
Count the number of correct answers you got on Section 3 (Math Test — No Calculator) and
Section 4 (Math Test — Calculator). There is no penalty for wrong answers.
Add the number of correct answers you got on Section 3 (Math Test — No Calculator) and
Section 4 (Math Test — Calculator).
Use Raw Score Conversion Table 1: Section and Test Scores to turn your raw score into your
Math Section score.
GET YOUR TOTAL SCORE
Add your Evidence-Based Reading and Writing Section score to your Math Section score. The
result is your total score on the SAT Practice Test, on a scale of 400–1600.

GET SUBSCORES
Subscores provide more detailed information about your strengths in specific areas within
literacy and math. They are reported on a scale of 1–15.
HEART OF ALGEBRA
The Heart of Algebra subscore is based on questions from the Math Test that focus on linear
equations and inequalities.
Add up your total correct answers from the following set of questions:
Math Test – No Calculator: Questions 1-3; 7-8; 12; 19-20
Math Test – Calculator: Questions 1-2; 6; 8; 16-17; 19; 26; 29; 32; 34
Your total correct answers from all of these questions is your raw score.
Use Raw Score Conversion Table 2: Subscores on page 8 to determine your Heart of Algebra
subscore.
PROBLEM SOLVING AND DATA ANALYSIS
The Problem Solving and Data Analysis subscore is based on questions from the Math Test that
focus on quantitative reasoning, the interpretation and synthesis of data, and solving problems
in rich and varied contexts.
Add up your total correct answers from the following set of questions:
Math Test – No Calculator: No Questions
Math Test – Calculator: Questions 3-5; 7; 9-11; 13-15; 20-23; 27; 31; 33
Your total correct answers from all of these questions is your raw score.
Use Raw Score Conversion Table 2: Subscores to determine your Problem Solving and Data
Analysis subscore.
PASSPORT TO ADVANCED MATH
The Passport to Advanced Math subscore is based on questions from the Math Test that focus
on topics central to the ability of students to progress to more advanced mathematics, such
as understanding the structure of expressions, reasoning with more complex equations, and
interpreting and building functions.
Add up your total correct answers from the following set of questions:
Math Test – No Calculator: Questions 4-6; 9-11; 13; 15; 18
Math Test – Calculator: Questions 12; 25; 28; 30; 35; 37-38
Your total correct answers from all of these questions is your raw score.
Use Raw Score Conversion Table 2: Subscores to determine your Passport to Advanced
Math subscore.

FAQs of Scoring Sat Practice Test 4

How do I calculate my total SAT score from the practice test?
To calculate your total SAT score, first determine your raw scores for the Evidence-Based Reading and Writing section and the Math section. Add the scaled scores from both sections together to get your total score, which ranges from 400 to 1600. The guide provides specific instructions and conversion tables to assist in this process.
What are the subscores reported in the SAT Practice Test?
Subscores provide detailed insights into specific skill areas within literacy and math. For example, the Heart of Algebra subscore focuses on linear equations and inequalities, while the Problem Solving and Data Analysis subscore assesses quantitative reasoning. Each subscore is calculated based on the number of correct answers from designated questions in the Math Test.
What is the purpose of cross-test scores in the SAT?
Cross-test scores measure a student's ability to analyze and interpret information in history/social studies and science contexts. These scores are derived from questions in the Reading, Writing and Language, and Math Tests, providing a broader assessment of analytical skills across different subjects.
How can I use the scoring guide to improve my SAT performance?
The scoring guide helps identify strengths and weaknesses by breaking down performance into specific areas. By reviewing subscores and cross-test scores, students can focus their study efforts on topics that need improvement. This targeted approach enhances preparation for the actual SAT exam.
