The SAT is a college readiness test and, in some U.S. states, is now being used as a skills test for high school graduation. It covers two main subject areas: English and math. Each subject area is scored on a 200-to-800 point scale, resulting in a composite SAT score from 400 to 1,600 points. (If you have any older sisters or brothers who took the SAT before 2016, they may recall that the test used to be scored on a 600- to 2,400-point scale, but that’s all history now.)

Here’s an overview of the two math sections of the current SAT.

 A 25-minute No Calculator section containing the following:15 multiple-choice questions, which require you to choose the right answer from among four choices, (A) through (D)5 gridded-response questions (also called student-produced response questions), which require you to record your answer in a special grid

 A 55-minute Calculator section containing the following:30 multiple-choice questions8 gridded-response questions

That’s a total of 58 questions, each of which counts for 1 point on your raw score of correct answers (from 0 to 58). This raw score is converted to a scaled score (from 200 to 800), which becomes your SAT math score.
