How do I estimate my Reading SAT score?

I'm a bit stressed about getting my Reading SAT score. While I wait for the official results, is there any method to calculate an estimate of my score? Any advice would be appreciated, thanks!

While it's natural to be anxious about your Reading SAT score, it's essential to understand that any self-assessment you make will not be entirely accurate. However, I can give you a general idea of how to estimate your score.

The SAT Reading section has 52 questions. For each question you answered correctly, you'll get one point. Incorrect answers don't have any deductions on your score, so the more questions you attempted, the higher your raw score will be. To estimate your raw score, you can add up the number of questions you think you answered correctly.

Once you have your raw score, you'll need to convert it into a scaled Reading score (ranging from 10-40) using the College Board SAT concordance tables; these tables change slightly with each test administration, but older tables can give you a rough estimate. Find a past SAT scoring table, look for your raw score in it, and note its corresponding scaled Reading score. Keep in mind that neither College Board nor other websites have completely accurate conversion tables due to variations between test administrations, but this method can give you a ballpark idea.

Finally, since the Evidence-Based Reading and Writing (EBRW) section is the sum of your Reading score and Writing & Language score, you can multiply the estimated scaled Reading score by two to get a rough EBRW score ranging from 200-800.

Remember that this estimation process is not completely accurate. It's best to stay patient and wait for the official scores to arrive. In the meantime, focus on other aspects of your college application or schoolwork to ease your worries. Best of luck!
