How this calculator works
The Digital SAT is adaptive. How you do in Module 1 of each section decides whether Module 2 is the easier or the harder version, and the harder version has the higher ceiling. Our model reflects that.
- Two curves per section. We convert your number of correct answers to a 200–800 section score using one curve for the harder Module 2 and one for the easier Module 2.
- Routing estimate. We estimate your Module 2 route from your Module 1 score. When you're close to the routing line, we say so and widen the range to cover both routes.
- A range, not a single number. Two students with the same raw score can get different scaled scores, depending on which questions they answered correctly. The range reflects that, and "most likely" is the middle of our estimate.
- Percentiles are approximate and based on College Board's published percentile ranks for SAT takers.
- Limits. Each section includes a few unscored pretest questions you can't identify, and every test form is equated slightly differently. That's why test-specific curves help, and why we show ranges.

Frequently asked questions
How accurate is this calculator?
It gives a range, not a single number, because the Digital SAT is scored with item response theory: two students with the same number of correct answers can get different scores depending on which questions they got right. We measure our accuracy by comparing estimates with the real scores students enter after results come out, and we publish that figure once we have enough comparisons.
How is the Digital SAT scored?
There are two sections, Reading and Writing (54 questions) and Math (44 questions), each split into two modules. Each section is scored from 200 to 800, for a total of 400 to 1600. Your performance in Module 1 decides whether Module 2 is the easier or harder version. Each section also includes a few unscored pretest questions, and you can't tell which ones they are.
Is there a penalty for wrong answers?
No. A wrong answer and a blank answer both earn zero points, so always answer every question, even if you have to guess.
Do consecutive wrong answers cost extra points?
College Board has not published anything like a streak penalty. The scoring model looks at which questions you answered correctly and how difficult they were, not the order of your mistakes. Be wary of sites that claim a fixed penalty for misses in a row without evidence.
What happens if I get the easier Module 2?
The easier Module 2 has a lower ceiling, so even a perfect easier module limits how high that section can go. That is why Module 1 accuracy matters so much: getting the easy and medium questions right is what routes you to the harder module.
How many questions can I miss and still get 1400 or 1500?
It depends on the test and on which questions you miss. Use the "What do I need?" tab for an estimate: it shows how many you can miss per section for any target, assuming you reach the harder Module 2 in both sections.
Why do my Bluebook practice tests score the same raw count differently?
Every test form is slightly different in difficulty, so College Board places each one on the same scale through equating. A 700 on one test represents the same ability as a 700 on another, even if the number of correct answers needed differs.
When do SAT scores come out?
Scores are usually released about two weeks after the test date. College Board publishes the exact release dates. Use the "Just took the SAT" tab to save your estimate now and compare it with your real score on release day.
