1. What is the Digital SAT Score Calculation?

The Digital SAT score is calculated by combining performance on the Reading & Writing and Math sections, with each section contributing to the total score based on its relative weight.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the weighted score formula:

Where:

• Reading Score — Score from Reading & Writing section (200-800 points)
• Math Score — Score from Math section (200-800 points)
• Reading Weight — Relative importance of Reading section (0-1)
• Math Weight — Relative importance of Math section (0-1)

Explanation: The weights determine how much each section contributes to the final score, with typical weights being 0.5 for each section.

3. Importance of Score Calculation

Details: Understanding your weighted SAT score helps in college admissions planning, identifying strengths and weaknesses, and setting realistic score improvement goals.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your section scores (200-800 points) and adjust the weights (must sum to 1.0) to see how different weightings affect your total score.
