How to calculate SAT reading score?

Hey, I just did a practice SAT reading test and I'm not sure how to calculate my reading score. Can someone walk me through the process? Are there any online resources to help me with this?

To calculate your SAT Reading score, you'll need to follow a few steps. Here's how to do it:

1. Count the number of questions you answered correctly in the Reading section. Note that the Reading section is part of the Evidence-Based Reading and Writing (EBRW) section, which also includes the Writing and Language section.

2. The number of correct answers you have is your raw score for the Reading section.

3. You'll need to convert your raw score to a scaled score (ranging from 10 to 40) using a score conversion table. Since the test's difficulty level may vary, the CollegeBoard uses the scaled scores to ensure a consistent comparison across different test dates. You can generally find these tables in the back of the official SAT practice tests or online resources like the CollegeBoard website or various test prep forums.

4. Once you have your scaled score for the Reading section, you'll need to calculate your Writing and Language section score following the same steps.

5. Add your Reading and Writing scaled scores (both ranging from 10 to 40) together. This combined score will range from 20 to 80.

6. To get your final EBRW score, multiply the combined score by 10. The result will range from 200 to 800, which is the familiar SAT EBRW score format.

Remember, this process is specific to the Reading and Writing sections of the SAT, which together make up the EBRW score. To get your overall SAT score, you'll also need to calculate your Math section score separately, which has a similar scoring process.

For your convenience, several online SAT score calculators are available. You can find them on test prep websites or the CollegeBoard website. Just input your raw scores to obtain your scaled scores and final EBRW score.

Good luck with your SAT preparation!
