How many questions do you need for your target SAT score?
This reverse calculator turns a target total (say, 1400) into the raw number of questions you need to get right in each section — and how many you can afford to miss. Adjust the section balance if you're stronger in Math or in Reading & Writing.
Use it to set drill goals
Knowing your raw target makes practice concrete: instead of a vague "get a 1400," you get "miss no more than ~8 in Math." That margin tells you exactly how careful you need to be on test day.
