What is an Equating Section?
What is an Equating Section?
The SAT includes an additional experimental or ‘Equating’ section that does not count toward your final score. The Equating section is designed to test out new questions and to compare the performances of current students with those of previous test takers. The Equating section can test any of the three subjects (Critical Reading, Writing, or Math) and usually appears between SAT sections 2 and 7 (the 25 minute multiple choice sections).
Do NOT try to guess which section is the Equating section.
Trying to ‘game’ which section is experimental can get you into real trouble. When taking the SAT, always assume every section counts.
2008-09 SAT Practice Test conversion tables

Here are the raw to scaled score conversion tables for the 2008-09 Official SAT Practice Test for each subject. This test was also an actual SAT given in October 2005.
In addition to listing the straight conversion tables, I have also added the raw score point percentages for each scaled score. For instance, to get a scaled score of 600 on the Critical Reading subject for this test, you need 46 raw score points. With 67 total raw score points available on Critical Reading, a raw score of 46 translates into 69% (46/67) of the total points available.
Please also note that the Writing subject includes only raw score conversions for the multiple choice portion, and does not include effects of the essay on the scaled score (more on this later).
For more on how your raw score is determined for each subject, see here.
