If you are wondering how the SAT score is figured out then continue reading and you will have a much better understanding by the time you are done. The SAT is broken down into multiple categories each having their own range of scores that can be obtained.

The Writing section consists of an essay and multiple choice section. You receive a score of 1 to 6 on your essay portion and 1 point for each correct multiple choice question you answer correctly. If you don’t answer you receive zero points and if you guess incorrectly you loose 1/4 point. Those totals are then converted into a score between 200-800.

The Critical Reading and Math scores are computed similar to those of the multiple choice Writing section. A correct answer gives you one point, an incorrect answer costs you 1/4 point and if you leave it blank you receive zero points. Those scores are then converted into a score between 200-800.

The scores are added together and you receive a percentile ranking based on others who have completed the test. This gives you an idea of where you rank compared to others who have taken the exam and what areas you need to improve.
