About the SAT

The SAT – The Ultimate Reasoning Test
The SAT is a ten-section test with three sections each of writing, reading, and mathematics, plus one experimental section. The experimental section is not scored and is used solely for research purposes by the College Board. It can be a reading, writing, or math section, but the student will not know which section is experimental. They must complete every section of the test with the belief that the section will count toward their scores.

Each portion of the SAT—writing, reading, and math—receives a score from 200 to 800. A perfect SAT score is now 2400 (3 sections x 800 points). These scores are calculated from a raw score; one point is awarded for each correct answer, a quarter of a point is subtracted for each wrong answer, and no points are assigned for an omitted answer.
