Score your SAT practice test in seconds: enter how many questions you got right and get an estimated 400–1600 total. Works for the PSAT/NMSQT and the ACT too. Unlike a static conversion chart, this models the thing that actually decides your digital SAT score: which second module you were routed into.
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.
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.
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.
| Test | Section | Scored questions | Scale |
|---|---|---|---|
| Digital SAT | Reading & Writing | 54 (2 modules of 27) | 200–800 |
| Digital SAT | Math | 44 (2 modules of 22) | 200–800 |
| PSAT/NMSQT | Both sections | Same structure | 160–760 each |
| ACT | English / Math / Reading / Science | 50 / 45 / 36 / 40 | 1–36 each |
It is four steps, and only the third one is complicated.
If you are scoring a practice test by hand, count each module separately rather than counting one grand total: the split between Module 1 and Module 2 is what tells the calculator which path you were on. If you took a paper practice test, treat the first half of each section as Module 1.
Roughly what the total looks like across the range, assuming an even split between the two modules:
| Questions correct (of 98) | Harder Module 2 | Easier Module 2 |
|---|---|---|
| 88 – 98 | 1450 – 1600 | — |
| 78 – 87 | 1310 – 1440 | — |
| 68 – 77 | 1180 – 1300 | 1180 – 1280 |
| 58 – 67 | 1050 – 1170 | 1050 – 1170 |
| 48 – 57 | 920 – 1040 | 920 – 1040 |
| Below 48 | — | 400 – 910 |

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.
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.
No. A wrong answer scores the same as a blank, so answer every question. Your raw score is the number you got right.
98 scored questions: two Reading and Writing modules of 27, and two Math modules of 22.
Count what you got right in each section, since wrong answers cost nothing. Each section converts to a 200–800 scaled score, and the two add up to a 400–1600 total. On the digital SAT the conversion also depends on which second module you were routed into.
They sit on the same underlying scale, so your PSAT score is a fair estimate of the SAT score you would have earned that day. The PSAT stops at 1520 because it leaves out the hardest content.
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.
