Sat raw score conversion?

Does anyone know how the SAT raw score converts to the scaled score? I've been doing some practice tests and I want to get an idea of what my current scores might mean. The CollegeBoard website is a little confusing, so I thought I'd ask here.

The SAT's raw score is the number of questions you answered correctly without considering incorrect or skipped questions. This score is then converted to a scaled score ranging from 200 to 800 for the Math and the combined Reading and Writing sections.

The process of converting raw scores to scaled scores accounts for variations in difficulty across different SAT test versions, ensuring fairness. This procedure is called equating. Because of this equating process, there is no absolute conversion chart. The conversion can differ slightly from one test version to another.

However, the general range of conversions is roughly predictable. For instance, let's examine math. If you answer all 44 questions correctly, your raw score is 44 and your scaled score is 800. In terms of missed questions, if your raw score slips to around 43 or 42, you're still looking at a scaled score of 800. However, a raw score of around 25 might equate to a scaled score of approximately 550.

For the combined Reading and Writing section, a similar logic applies. Technically, you can miss a few questions on this section and still achieve a perfect 800. However, a substantial drop in your raw score can significantly affect your scaled score.

Remember to check specific SAT practice tests and their score conversion charts, as they provide the most accurate representation of how raw scores can convert to scaled scores for that specific test version.
