What do SAT scores look like?
The SAT has three scores, each on the scale of 200 to 800. Your score will include writing (W 200-800), mathematics (M 200-800), and critical reading (CR 200-800). Your math and critical reading scores on the new SAT can be compared to the math and verbal scores on the old test. This is something colleges need for consistency in admissions requirements. However, the SAT writing score is completely new.
The SAT Exam total score is a total of your scores in the three main categories: Math, Critical Reading, and Writing. Each category is graded on a scale of 200 to 800. This means that you can get a possible score of 2400. Your SAT Math and SAT Critical Reading scores are the equivalent of the SAT Math and SAT Verbal scores on the old version of the SAT. Colleges will compare the two for consistency in the admissions process. However, the SAT Writing score is completely new and does not have an equivalent with the old version.
