SAT 2013 Subject The ability of the student is further analyzed through a 25 minute section in the SAT test, but the score in this test is not counted into the finals. The raw scores are finally converted on a scale of 200-800 scales, via a process called Equating. The equating procedure further ensures that the level of ability of students would not affect the scores of other students, when compared.The questions are weighted equally. For each correct answer, one raw point is added. For each incorrect answer one-fourth of a point is deducted.[14] No points are deducted for incorrect math grid-in questions. This ensures that a student’s mathematically expected gain from guessing is zero. The final score is derived from the raw score; the precise conversion chart varies between test administrations.

Writing49360Grammar, usage and diction

Critical Reading50170Vocabulary, critical reading and sentance-level reading.
The SAT therefore recommends only making educated guesses, that is, when the test taker can eliminate at least one answer he or she thinks is wrong. Without eliminating any answers one’s probability of answering correctly is 20%. Eliminating one wrong answer increases this probability to 25% (and the expected gain to 1/16 of a point); two, a 33.3% probability (1/6 of a point); and three, a 50% probability (3/8 of a point).
SAT is prepared and scored by the Educational Testing Service. It is an approximately 4 hour long test. There are two types of SAT tests namely, SAT Reasoning Test and SAT Subject Tests.
