A range, not a single number: the digital test is adaptive, so the same raw count can scale differently. Based on College Board's official practice-test conversion table.

Quick answer: the digital SAT is scored 400–1600 (200–800 per section). Because Module 2 is adaptive, raw-to-scaled conversions vary by test — so we show a range from College Board's official practice conversion table.

How is the digital SAT scored?

The SAT has two sections — Reading and Writing (54 questions in two 27-question modules) and Math (44 questions in two 22-question modules). Each section is scored 200–800, for a total of 400–1600. There is no penalty for wrong answers. Module 2 adapts to how you did in Module 1, so College Board scores the questions with item response theory rather than a fixed raw-to-scaled table.
