SAT Scores & Results:
How are SAT scores calculated?
English section is scored in the range of 200 - 800
Maths Section is scored in the range of 200 – 800.
Thus, SAT is scored in the range of 400 – 1600.
The above scores are calculated based on the number of questions student got correct in each section. Each SAT exam has a different scoring curve, which is used to calibrate against slight changes in difficulty across the exams.
What is Percentile in SAT Scores?
Candidates’ percentile rank in the SAT exam scores represents the percentage of students/candidates whose SAT score is either equal or lower than their score. For instance, if a student’s SAT score is in the 80th percentile, 80% of the students who took the SAT exam have achieved that score range or below.
