Digital SAT Format

For students who took the digital SAT:

If your scores aren't yet ready, you'll see a note after signing in that says, "Your Score is Coming." You'll still have the option to see scores from a prior test administration by clicking View Available Scores. If you don't see this button, you may not have taken a prior test. If you have, your scores might not be matched to your account. You'll then click Find Missing Scores to access the Matching Tool.

Your score report is more than a vehicle for retrieving scores. It is designed to help you understand what your scores mean in relation to your knowledge and skills in the context of college and career readiness requirements, the performance of other test takers, and your goals.

Your score report is more than a vehicle for retrieving scores. It is designed to help you understand what your scores mean in relation to your knowledge and skills in the context of college and career readiness requirements, the performance of other test takers, and your goals.

The total score is the sum of the two section scores; its range is 400–1600.

Section Scores

SAT Essay Scores

The following three scores for the SAT Essay, if applicable, are on a 2–8 scale:

• Reading
• Analysis
• Writing

These scores aren't added together or combined with any other test scores. A student's online scores show the prompt the student responded to and the student's essay.

Score Ranges

A student's ability is better represented by score ranges than points. Score ranges are derived from the standard error of measurement and show how much student scores would likely vary if the student took a different administration of the test under identical conditions. Score ranges are as follows:

• Total: ±40 points
• Section: ±30 points
• Test scores, subscores, and cross-test scores (for paper-based SAT only): ±2 points

Areas of Strength and Weakness

Go to the Score Details page for your test scores, cross-test scores, and subscores. These scores give you detailed analyses of your performance in specific areas. Areas where your skills are strong appear in green. The red and yellow zones are important to focus on because they show where you most need to improve your skills. Learn more about SAT scores and what they mean to you.

SAA Indicator

If you see "SAA" (state-allowed accommodation) on your score report, you've taken the assessment with a testing accommodation allowed by your state but not approved by the College Board.

If you took the SAT with these state-allowed accommodations, you can't send those scores to colleges or scholarship programs.
