Scoring the SAT

SAT/ACT Scores

SAT Scores

The SAT is scored within the range of 200 and 800 points for each section. A 2400 is the highest possible combined score.

On the score report, your verbal and math scores are also reported as percentiles. (E.g., if your raw score is 75 points, you are in the 83rd percentile of college-bound students. This means that 83% of students who took the test nationally scored lower than you did, and 17% scored higher.)

ACT Scores

The ACT is scored within the range of 36 (highest) through 1 (lowest).

Your score report conveys your score for each of the four tests as well as a composite score. The composite score is the average of your four test scores rounded to the nearest whole number.
