Your estimate

Reading and Writing: questions right

Out of 54, both modules together

Math: questions right

Out of 44, both modules together

Count every question you got right. The digital test is adaptive, so the same number right can score differently, and this estimate is rougher than the paper one.

The test is adaptive. How you do on the first module of a section decides whether the second module is easier or harder, and College Board scores you on which questions you got right, not only how many. The calculator's ranges come from College Board's published conversions for its practice tests, so a real test day can land a little outside them.

Questions

Still have a question? support@tryashore.com

No. The digital SAT is adaptive: your second module is easier or harder depending on the first, and harder questions are worth more. Two students with the same number right can get different scores. That's why the calculator shows a likely score with a range around it.
