How is the SAT scored? |
The exam consists of three parts:
Critical Reading, Mathematics and Writing. The scores from each section can
range from 200 to 800, so the best possible total score is 2400. The average
score for each section is roughly 500, so the average total score is about
1500.
Very few students get a perfect SAT score, even those at the country’s top colleges. Finally, you'll see that some of the school profiles include the critical reading and math scores, but not the writing scores. This is because the writing part of the exam is still new, and many schools do not yet use it in their admissions decisions. We're likely to see that change in the next couple years as colleges figure out the relationship between the writing score and academic success. |
How are exam questions created? |
Team of experts is that who create
the questions. Each question gets reviewed by this team of expert in English
and Math. There should be no confusion and unfair with students. Hence all
questions are checked by experts.
|
When is the possible time I get my scores back? |
The scores are usually mailed out 4
- 6 weeks after you take the test.
|
What if I want to cancel my SAT Score?
|
On the day of your test if you want
to cancel your score during or after finishing your exam, you should ask the
test supervisor for a "Request to Cancel Test Scores" form. You can
submit the completed form immediately at the testing center.
|
What is Score Choice? |
Score choice allows you to choose
which SAT and SAT Subject Test scores you would like to send to colleges, at
no additional cost. Different universities and colleges now have different
score choice practices. Some schools require only the single highest test
date score, some schools state that they combine the highest scores from
different sections across test dates, and some schools require you to send
all of your scores. View the score-choice practices of different schools.
Always check with the schools you plan to apply to as well before sending
your scores.
