What's on the SAT Score Sheet?

Hi!! I just took my SAT and I'm a little confused. Can someone break down what I should be expecting to see on the SAT Score Sheet?

Sure! When you get your SAT score sheet, you'll see a number of elements. Here's an overview:

1. Total Score: This is your combined score from both the Math and the Evidence-Based Reading and Writing sections. This score ranges from 400 to 1600.

2. Section Scores: You'll receive scores for the two sections tested, Math and Evidence-Based Reading and Writing. Each section is scored on a scale from 200 to 800.

3. Test Scores: There are three test scores, each on a scale of 10 to 40: Reading test score, Writing and Language test score, and Math test score.

4. Cross-Test Scores: These scores indicate how well you did on questions in both the Math and the Reading/Writing sections that relate to Analysis in Science and Analysis in History/Social Studies. These scores range from 10 to 40.

5. Sub-scores: There are a total of 7 sub-scores designed to provide more detail about specific skills you're being tested on: Command of Evidence, Words in Context, Expression of Ideas, Standard English Conventions, Heart of Algebra, Problem Solving and Data Analysis, Passport to Advanced Math. These are on a scale of 1 to 15.

Remember, starting from 2024, the SAT is taken digitally and all these scores will be available on your online College Board account. The scores from the digital SAT are reported on the same scale—your total score will still range from 400 to 1600, section scores from 200-800, and so on. You would also have an opportunity to review each question, see the correct answer, and reflect on areas to improve for future tests.

I hope that helps clear up your confusion!
