SHSAT Score Scales

1. Count the amount of right answers per each section (verbal  and math separately), and assign point values based on the numbers above. these 2 numbers, one for each section, are referred to as your ‘raw score.’ (it should be between 1 and 50)
2.  Use this conversion chart for each of your raw scores to see what you would get per section. It should be out of 50. 
   1-16
   2-30
   3-44
   4-58
   5-72
   6-82
   7-90
