Each SAT section is scored on a 200–800 scale. Your raw score (number of correct answers) is converted into a scaled score via equating, and the two section scores add to your 1600 total.
Your raw score is the number of questions you answered correctly. That raw number gets converted to a scaled section score from 200 to 800 using a conversion table specific to your test form.
Because the Digital SAT is section-adaptive, the Module 2 you reach determines your ceiling. Students who reach the hard Module 2 can access the full 800; students who stay in the easier Module 2 have a lower ceiling.
Do not leave this answer as background knowledge. Connect it to a practice decision: what to drill, when to test, how to pace a module, or how to interpret a score report.
A perfect SAT score is 1600 — the maximum possible. That is 800 on Reading & Writing plus 800 on Math.
The SAT is not curved against other test takers. It is equated — your raw score is converted using a scale specific to your test form to account for difficulty differences across dates.
