New sat scoring

The SAT scoring system has undergone several changes over the years. Here's an overview of the current scoring system:

The SAT Score Scale:

The SAT score scale ranges from 200 to 1600, with the following breakdown:

• Evidence-Based Reading and Writing (ERW) score: 200-800
• Math score: 200-800
• Total score: 400-1600

The SAT Score Components:

The SAT score is composed of three main components:

1. ERW (Evidence-Based Reading and Writing): This section tests your reading comprehension, vocabulary, and writing skills. It's scored on a scale of 200-800.
2. Math: This section tests your math skills, including algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and data analysis. It's also scored on a scale of 200-800.
3. Optional Essay: The SAT essay is an optional section that tests your writing skills. It's scored separately on a scale of 2-8, with 2 being the lowest and 8 being the highest.

The SAT Score Conversion:

To convert your SAT scores to a more familiar scale, you can use the following conversion:

• ERW score: 200-800 = 100-800 (on a 100-point scale)
• Math score: 200-800 = 100-800 (on a 100-point scale)
• Total score: 400-1600 = 200-1600 (on a 200-point scale)

The SAT Score Interpretation:

Here's a general interpretation of SAT scores:

• Excellent: 1400-1600 (top 10%)
• Very Good: 1300-1399 (top 20%)
• Good: 1200-1299 (top 30%)
• Fair: 1100-1199 (middle 40%)
• Needs Improvement: 1000-1099 (bottom 20%)
• Low: Below 1000 (bottom 10%)

Keep in mind that these are general guidelines, and the interpretation of SAT scores can vary depending on the institution or program you're applying to.
