How are scores for SAT derived?

Your answer sheet is machine scanned. You get one point for each question that you answer correctly.
You don’t lose any points if you skip a question. For each wrong answer to a multiple-choice question, you lose a quarter of a point, which corrects for random guessing.

For student-produced answers, you do not lose anything point. These calculations produce your raw score.
Your raw score is then converted to the College Board scale of 200 to 800 through a process called equating.
