Estimate your total SAT score (400–1600) from Reading & Writing and Math raw scores.
The SAT Score Calculator adds your Reading & Writing section score and Math section score — each ranging from 200 to 800 — to give your total composite SAT score out of 1600. This mirrors how the College Board reports official SAT results.
Use this while reviewing practice tests to quickly tally section scores into a composite, track your progress across multiple practice exams, and compare against the score ranges published by colleges you're applying to. A composite of 1200+ is generally considered competitive for many four-year universities, while 1400+ is competitive for highly selective institutions.
Pair this with the Study Time Calculator to build a prep schedule, the Exam Countdown Timer to track days until test day, and the Decision Maker Tool if you're weighing which colleges to apply to.
Total SAT Score = Reading & Writing Score + Math Score. Each section ranges from 200–800, so the composite ranges from 400–1600.
It depends entirely on your target schools. As a general guide, 1200+ is competitive for many state universities, while 1400+ is typical for highly selective colleges. Always check the middle 50% score range published by each school's admissions office.
No — this tool sums section scaled scores (200-800 each) that you already have, e.g. from a practice test score report. It does not convert raw question counts into scaled scores, since the College Board's scaling tables vary by test form.
The PSAT uses a similar 160–760 per section / 320–1520 total scale. This calculator is calibrated for the SAT's 200–800 / 400–1600 scale specifically.
