Confused about SAT Test 4 scoring?

Hey everyone! I've just taken a practice SAT Test 4 and I'm having trouble understanding how it's scored. Can someone please explain the scoring process for this particular test? Thanks a lot!

Hello! No problem, I'm happy to help clarify the scoring process for SAT Test 4, or any other SAT practice test. The scoring for SAT practice tests follows the same approach as the actual digital SAT.

There are two sections in the test: Evidence-Based Reading and Writing and Math. Each section is scored on a scale of 200 to 800, making the highest possible total score 1600. Here's a breakdown of the steps to score your practice test:

1. Raw score: First, calculate your raw score for each section. To do this, count the number of correct answers for Reading, Writing, and Math separately. There are no penalties for wrong answers, so simply count the correct answers.

2. Conversion to section scores: Next, use the scoring tables provided in your SAT Test 4 materials to convert your raw scores to scaled section scores. The tables should indicate the corresponding section scores for each raw score.

3. Total score: Finally, add your converted section scores for Reading and Writing (to get the Evidence-Based Reading and Writing section score) and Math to find your overall score, which ranges from 400 to 1600.

For instance, if your raw scores were 40 for Reading, 35 for Writing, and 50 for Math, and the scoring tables show that these raw scores correspond to 32 and 35 for Reading and Writing, and 30 for Math. Then, combining Reading and Writing scores, you'd have 67 (32+35) for Evidence-Based Reading and Writing, and 30 for Math. This would give you a total SAT score of 97 (67+30).

Keep in mind that the scoring tables are test-specific, so make sure you are using the tables for SAT Test 4.

Now you should have a good understanding of how to score your SAT Test 4. Good luck with your practice and future SAT tests!
