How to grade SAT practice test

Hey everyone, I just took a SAT practice test and I'm not sure how to grade it properly. Can someone help explain the grading process? Are there any tools or websites that can help me calculate my score?

Sure, I'd be happy to help you understand how to grade your SAT practice test! Grading an SAT practice test typically involves two steps: finding your raw scores and converting those raw scores to scaled scores.

1. Finding your raw scores:

For the Reading and Writing (R&W) section, count the number of questions you answered correctly. This will give you your raw score for the Reading and Writing sections combined. For the Math section, do the same to get your raw Math score.

2. Converting raw scores to scaled scores:

To convert your raw scores to scaled scores, you'll need to refer to the scoring tables provided with your specific SAT practice test. These tables help convert your raw scores into a 200-800 scale for both the R&W and Math sections.

Then, add the two scaled section scores together to get your total SAT score, which ranges from 400 to 1600.

Note that College Board, the company that administers the SAT, offers eight official SAT practice tests which come with scoring tables. If you've taken one of these official practice tests, you can use their scoring tables for conversions.

As for online tools and websites that can help you calculate your score, the official SAT app, Bluebook™ allows you to input your performance on the test, and it will provide you with your scaled scores. Similarly, Khan Academy offers college board-approved practice tests and will also score them for you when taken online.

Make sure to review your answers after grading, understand your mistakes, and identify areas where you can improve. This process will help you get a better grasp on the SAT content and prepare you for the actual test. Good luck!
