SAT SCORING
Calculating Your Score
Because there’s no penalty for guessing, your raw score is the number of questions
you answered correctly. Raw scores are converted to scores on a scale of 200 to
800 using a process called equating. Equating adjusts for slight differences in
difficulty between various versions of the test (such as versions taken on different
days).
The College Board uses equating to make sure there’s no advantage in taking the test
on a particular day. A score of 400, for instance, on one day’s test means the
same thing as a 400 on a test taken on a different day — even though the
questions are different.
