Step 1: Figure out your raw score. Use the answer key to count the number of questions you answered correctly and the number of questions you answered incorrectly. (Do not count any questions you left blank.) Multiply the number wrong by 0.25 and subtract the result from the number correct. Round the result to the nearest whole number. This is your raw score.
Step 2: Find your scaled score. In the Score Conversion Table below, find your raw score (rounded to the nearest whole number) in one of the columns to the left. The score directly to the right of that number will be your scaled score.
A note on your practice test scores: Don’t take these scores too literally. Practice test conditions cannot precisely mirror real test conditions. Your actual SAT Subject Test: Physics score will almost certainly vary from your diagnostic and practice test scores. However, your scores on the diagnostic and practice tests will give you a rough idea of your range on the actual exam.
