Digital SAT score calculator

Turn questions correct into a scaled score. Unlike a static conversion chart, this models the thing that actually decides your digital SAT score: which second module you were routed into.

Why there is no official conversion chart

Students look for a digital SAT raw score chart and cannot find one. That is not an oversight. The test is adaptive and equated per form, so the same number correct can produce different scores depending on which second module you were given and which form you sat.

Anything that claims to be the official conversion table is either from the old paper SAT or invented. This calculator uses the model behind CruxStudy's own practice tests. It is a good estimate for tracking progress and a poor substitute for an official score report.

What the adaptive module is actually worth

Try it: put in a strong Module 1 and a strong Module 2, then switch the dropdown between the harder and easier path. The gap is large, and it is the single most misunderstood thing about the digital SAT.

This is why "I only got a few wrong" can still come back as a middling score. The routing happened before those questions.

How the raw score works

There is no penalty for a wrong answer on any of these tests. Your raw score is simply the number you answered correctly, so a blank and a wrong guess are worth exactly the same: nothing. Never leave one.

Get a real score instead of an estimate

Take a full-length adaptive practice test and the routing happens for real, from your own Module 1 performance, with a content-area breakdown at the end.

Common questions

Is there an official digital SAT raw score conversion chart?

No. Because the test is adaptive and equated per form, the College Board does not publish a single raw-to-scaled table. Two students with the same number correct can receive different scores depending on which second module they were routed into, so any calculator is an estimate rather than a lookup.

How much is the harder second module worth?

On this model, being routed into the harder Module 2 raises the reachable ceiling for that section by roughly 160 points and lifts the floor too. That is why Module 1 matters more than its share of the questions suggests.

Does the digital SAT penalise wrong answers?

No. A wrong answer scores the same as a blank, so answer every question. Your raw score is the number you got right.

How many questions are on the digital SAT?

98 scored questions: two Reading and Writing modules of 27, and two Math modules of 22.

How accurate is this calculator?

It is a model, not an official table, and it is deliberately conservative. Use it to track progress between practice tests rather than to predict an exact score.
