Get Section, Test,and Total Scores1 Total ScoreSection TotalScoreScoreYour total score on the PSAT 8/9 practice test is the sum of your EvidenceBased Reading and Writing Section score and your Math Section score.To get your total score, you'll convert what we call the “raw score” for eachsection—the number of questions you got right in that section—into the“scaled score” for that section, and then calculate the total score.2 SectionScores120–720 Scale3 Test ScoresCalculate your PSAT 8/9 Evidence-Based Reading and Writing Section score(it’s on a scale of 120–720) by first determining your Reading Test score andyour Writing and Language Test score. Here's how:2 Cross-TestScores2345Using the answer key on page 7, count the number of correct answersyou got on Section 1 (the Reading Test). The number of correct answersis your raw score.Go to Raw Score Conversion Table 1: Section and Test Scores onpage 8. Find your raw score in the “Raw Score” column and match it tothe number in the “Reading Test Score” column.Do the same with Section 2 to determine your Writing and LanguageTest score.Add your Reading Test score to your Writing and Language Test score.Multiply that number by 10. This is your Evidence-Based Reading andWriting Section score.EXAMPLE: Jennifer answered 29 of the 42 questions correctly on the PSAT 8/9Reading Test and 20 of the 40 questions correctly on the PSAT 8/9 Writing andLanguage Test. Using the table on page 8 she calculates that she received a PSAT 8/9Reading Test score of 26 and a PSAT 8/9 Writing and Language Test score of 21. Sheadds 26 to 21 (gets 47) and then multiplies by 10 to determine her PSAT 8/9 EvidenceBased Reading and Writing Section score is 470.6–36 ScaleTestScoreGET YOUR EVIDENCE-BASED READINGAND WRITING SECTION SCORE1Total Score240–1440 Scale6–36 ScaleEvidence-BasedReading and WritingReadingWriting andLanguageMathMathAnalysis in History/Social StudiesAnalysis in Science6 Subscores1–15 ScaleCommand of EvidenceHeart ofAlgebraWords in ContextProblem Solvingand Data AnalysisExpressionof IdeasStandard EnglishConventionsYour total score on thePSAT 8/9 practice test isthe sum of your EvidenceBased Reading andWriting Section score andyour Math Section score.GET YOUR MATH SECTION SCORECalculate your PSAT 8/9 Math Section score (it’s on a scale of 120–720).123Using the answer key on page 7, count the number of correct answersyou got on Section 3 (Math Test – No Calculator) and Section 4 (MathTest – Calculator).Add the number of correct answers you got on Section 3 (Math Test –No Calculator) and Section 4 (Math Test – Calculator).Use Raw Score Conversion Table 1 to turn your raw score into yourMath Section score.GET YOUR TOTAL SCOREAdd your Evidence-Based Reading and Writing Section score to your MathSection score.
