For multiple choice sections: A raw score is calculated by tallying the number of questions you answered correctly – there are no penalties for guessing. Then the raw score is scaled to ensure uniformity across testing administrations. The composite score 1 (lowest) to 36 (highest) is an average the scores of the four sections. For the essay: Your essay will be scored on all the elements of the writing – structure, grammar, tone, etc. Two trained readers will score your essay, each giving it a rating from 1 (lowest) to 6 (highest). The sum of these is your writing sub-score.
