What is a scaled score?

A scaled score is the standardized score reported on the 200–800 section scale and 400–1600 total scale. It adjusts raw performance onto a common reporting scale so scores from different tests and dates remain comparable, even when question sets are not identical.

How is the Digital SAT adaptive?

Each section begins with Module 1. Based on that performance, the test delivers a different difficulty mix in Module 2. Students are still scored on the same reporting scale, but the question path they see can affect how raw performance maps to the final scaled result.

What's a good SAT score for the Ivy League?

For the most selective schools, students usually aim for the mid-1400s to 1500-plus range to stay competitive. That is not a guarantee of admission, but it is the band where SAT scores typically stop being a weakness and start looking more comfortably elite.

How can I improve my SAT score by 100 points?

Most 100-point gains come from better accuracy on medium-difficulty questions, not from obsessing over the hardest problems first. Review missed question types, tighten pacing, and take full-length practice tests often enough to see whether your scaled score is actually moving.

Is this calculator official?

No third-party calculator is the College Board itself, and neither is this one. What makes this calculator useful is that it wraps Lumist's verified raw-to-scaled conversion engine, the same one used across Lumist's full-length Digital SAT mock tests.

Does this calculator account for adaptive Module 2 routing?

This calculator converts your raw scores using Lumist's verified scoring engine, but it does not model the Module 1 → Module 2 routing logic that the official Digital SAT uses. In practice, this means your true scaled score on test day could differ by roughly 20–40 points depending on which Module 2 you were routed to. For a routing-aware prediction, the Lumist Score uses your full practice history to estimate your real test-day score with much higher precision.

Digital SAT Score Calculator

The Digital SAT is scored from 400 to 1600 — combining a Verbal section (200–800) and a Math section (200–800), with module-adaptive scoring that varies by your test path.

Verbal

Module 1 raw score0–27

Module 2 raw score0–27

Math

Module 1 raw score0–22

Module 2 raw score0–22

How is the Digital SAT scored?

The Digital SAT converts your raw score, or the number of questions you answered correctly, into a scaled section score from 200 to 800. That scaled score is the standardized number colleges actually see, and the Verbal and Math section scores combine into your final 400 to 1600 total.

Reference: College Board's official scoring explanation.

What is module-adaptive scoring?

On the Digital SAT, every student starts with Module 1. Your performance there helps determine whether Module 2 is easier or harder, and that routing decision affects how your raw performance converts into your final scaled score.

What is a good Digital SAT score?

A “good” score depends on the schools you care about, but percentile context makes score targets easier to understand. The table below uses Lumist's verified percentile lookup table, so the percentile values reflect the same score distribution used in the calculator itself.

Score	Percentile	Typical college tier
1600	99th	Top 5 schools (Harvard, MIT, Stanford)
1500	99th	Top 20 schools
1400	97th	Top 50 schools
1300	91th	Top 100 schools
1200	81th	Strong state schools
1100	67th	Nationally competitive for many 4-year colleges
1000	48th	Around the middle of the SAT distribution

average score improvement with Lumist

This calculator uses the same raw-to-scaled conversion engine that powers Lumist's 50+ full-length Digital SAT mock tests, calibrated against more than 379,000 real student attempts.

Note that the official Digital SAT is module-adaptive — the Module 2 you receive depends on your Module 1 performance, which can shift your final scaled score by 20–40 points in either direction.
