Frequently Asked Questions about the SAT Score Calculator

The digital SAT total is Math plus Reading and Writing. Each official section score runs from 200 to 800, producing a total from 400 to 1,600.
What is EBRW on the SAT?
EBRW means Evidence-Based Reading and Writing, the name used on the former paper SAT. The digital SAT calls the section Reading and Writing and reports it from 200 to 800. Enter the Reading and Writing score shown on your report.
Which SAT scores should I enter?
Enter the official 200 to 800 Math and Reading and Writing section scores from your score report or an official scored practice test. This calculator does not estimate section scores from question counts.
What are the College Board readiness benchmarks?
College Board publishes a Math benchmark of 530 and a Reading and Writing benchmark of 480. These are indicators tied to first-semester college-course outcomes, not admission or placement guarantees. The calculator checks each section against its benchmark.
How accurate is the percentile estimate?
The calculator looks up a nationally representative percentile for each reportable total in 10-point steps. Percentile tables can change with the comparison group, so use the result for context and rely on the percentile attached to your official score report.
