How the SAT Score Calculator Works
The SAT total score is simply your Evidence-Based Reading & Writing section plus your Math section, each scored from 200 to 800, for a combined score of 400 to 1600. This calculator adds the two and estimates your national percentile — the share of test-takers you scored above.
A total around 1050 is roughly average (50th percentile); 1200+ is competitive for many universities and 1400+ is in the top few percent. Percentiles here are approximate, based on recent College Board distributions.
SAT total = Reading & Writing (200–800) + Math (200–800)
