How full tests work
Each test has two sections of two modules, comes in one of three versions, and gives your score as a range. Here is what each of those means for you.
Each section has two modules. The number of questions you get right in Module 1 decides whether Module 2 is easier or harder, as on the digital SAT.
The harder Module 2 is the only path to the top of the scale, so every Module 1 question counts twice: once toward your score and once toward your route.
Some SAT tests have easier questions and some have harder ones. The scoring evens this out: on an easier test, each question you miss costs more points, and on a harder test it costs fewer.
Practice on all three so no test surprises you. The easier version punishes careless misses, and the harder one shows how you handle questions that feel out of reach.
Easier version: Easier questionsStricter scoring
Standard version: Typical questionsTypical scoring
Harder version: Harder questionsGentler scoring
A practice test samples what you know, so your results give the range your SAT score is likely to fall in. The middle number is our best single estimate.
The estimate depends on how many questions you got right and how hard the questions on your path were. It is calibrated to the scores College Board’s own practice tests give for the same work. Only College Board’s tests give official scores.
Sample results
1190 to 1270
Most likely 1230 out of 1600
Your results compare your time on each question with a usual range: how long a prepared student typically needs. The range comes from research on reading speed and test timing, and it grows with a question’s length, its difficulty, and any figure it includes.
The tick marks the shortcut time: how fast the question goes when you already know the method. A right answer within the usual time earns extra XP, because a fast, reliable method is what finishes a module.
