Official Digital SAT Score Calculator (2025)
Convert your raw scores from the new adaptive Digital SAT to an accurate scaled score (400-1600) with our free and updated tool.
Enter Your Raw Scores
Enter the total number of questions you answered correctly for each section.
How to Use the Digital SAT Score Calculator
Calculating your estimated Digital SAT score is a simple process. You will need your "raw score" for each of the two main sections: Reading and Writing, and Math.
- Find Your Raw Scores: After completing a full-length Digital SAT practice test, count the total number of questions you answered correctly in the Reading and Writing section (out of 54) and the Math section (out of 44).
- Enter Your Scores: Input your raw scores into the designated fields in the calculator above.
- Calculate Your Score: Click the "Calculate My Score" button. Our tool will use an official scoring model to convert your raw scores into the scaled 200-800 score for each section and then provide your total composite score out of 1600.
Understanding Your Digital SAT Score
The Digital SAT maintains the familiar 400-1600 scoring scale, but the way scores are calculated has been updated to accommodate the new adaptive format. Your score report will feature two main components:
Total Composite Score (400-1600)
This is the most important number for college admissions. It's the sum of your two section scores and provides a holistic view of your performance. Colleges use this score as a primary benchmark to compare applicants.
Section Scores (200-800)
You will receive a score from 200 to 800 for each of the two sections:
- Reading and Writing: This single score reflects your performance on the integrated Reading and Writing section.
- Math: This score reflects your performance on the two Math modules.
These individual section scores allow colleges to see your specific strengths. For instance, STEM-focused programs will pay close attention to your Math score, while humanities programs may focus more on your Reading and Writing score.
The Biggest Change: Multi-Stage Adaptive Testing
The defining feature of the Digital SAT is its multi-stage adaptive format. This is a major departure from the traditional linear paper test and is crucial to understanding your score. Here’s how it works for each section (Reading & Writing, and Math):
Module 1: The Foundation
Every student starts with a first module containing a broad mix of easy, medium, and hard questions. This initial module serves as a baseline to gauge your ability level.
Module 2: The Adaptive Path
Your performance on Module 1 directly determines the difficulty of your second module.
- If you perform well on Module 1, you will be routed to a **harder second module**. This harder module contains more challenging questions, but it also gives you access to the highest possible score range.
- If you do not perform as well on Module 1, you will be routed to an **easier second module**. While the questions are less difficult, there is a ceiling on the maximum score you can achieve.
What is a Good Digital SAT Score?
A "good" score depends entirely on your college ambitions. The best way to define your goal is by looking at the average scores of admitted students at your target universities. However, we can use national percentiles to provide a general framework.
| Total Score (400-1600) | Percentile Ranking* | General Competitiveness Level |
|---|---|---|
| 1500-1600 | 99th+ | Exceptional (Ivy League & Elite Universities) |
| 1400-1490 | 95th-98th | Highly Competitive (Top 50 Universities) |
| 1300-1390 | 85th-94th | Very Competitive (Selective Universities) |
| 1200-1290 | 72nd-84th | Competitive (Many State & Private Universities) |
| 1050-1190 | 48th-71st | Above Average (National Average is ~1050) |
| Below 1050 | Below 48th | Below Average |
To be a competitive applicant at most four-year universities, you should aim for a score of at least 1200. For more selective institutions, a score of 1400 or higher will significantly strengthen your application. Using a reliable **Digital SAT Score Calculator** during your prep is key to tracking your progress toward these goals.
