and answer key at the end of this document.Using the answer key,count up your total correct answers for each section.You may want to write the number of correct answers for each section at the bottom of that section in the answer key.Using your marked-up answer key and the conversion tables,follow the directions to get all of your scores.Created 8/27/15SAT Practice Test#2 GET SECTION AND TOTAL SCORES Your total score on the SAT practice test is the sum of your Evidence-Based Reading and Writing Section score and your Math Section score.To get your total score,you will convert what we call the“raw score”for each section the number of questions you got right in that section into the“scaled score”for that section,then calculate the total score.GET YOUR EVIDENCE-BASED READING AND WRITING SECTION SCORE Calculate your SAT Evidence-Based Reading and Writing Section score(its on a scale of 200800)by fjrst determining your Reading Test score and your Writing and Language Test score.Heres how:Count the number of correct answers you got on Section 1(the Reading Test).There is no penalty for wrong answers.The number of correct answers is your raw score.Go to Raw Score Conversion Table 1:Section and Test Scores on page 7.Look in the“Raw Score”column for your raw score,and match it to the number in the“Reading Test Score”column.Do the same with Section 2 to determine your Writing and Language Test score.Add your Reading Test Score to your Writing and Language Test score.Multiply that number by 10.This is your Evidence-Based Reading and Writing Section score.EXAMPLE:Micah answered 29 of the 52 questions correctly on the SAT Reading Test and 20 of the 44 questions correctly on the SAT Writing and Language Test.Using the table on page 7,he calculates that he received an SAT Reading Test score of 27 and an SAT Writing and Language Test score of 23.He adds 27 to 23(gets 50)and then multiplies by 10 to determine his SAT Evidence-Based Reading and Writing Section score of 500.GET YOUR MATH SECTION SCORE Calculate your SAT Math Section score(its on a scale of 200800).Count the number of correct answers you got on Section 3(Math Test No Calculator)and Section 4(Math Test Calculator).There is no penalty for wrong answers.Add the number of correct answers you got on Section 3(Math Test No Calculator)and Section 4(Math Test Calculator).Use Raw Score Conversion Table 1:Section and Test Scores to turn your raw score into your Math Section score.GET YOUR TOTAL SCORE Add your Evidence-Based Reading and Writing Section score to your Math Section score.The result is your total score on the SAT Practice Test,on a scale of 4001600.2 3 Created 8/27/15SAT Practice Test#2 GET SUBSCORES Subscores provide more detailed information about your strengths in specifjc areas
