<p>Pardon me if this is a stupid question, but what is the correct way to convert the Old to New vice versa? Can I just do a simple proportion? for instance, a 1350 is roughly equal to a 2025?</p>
<p>Well the writing section is completely new, so there is not really a way of converting it. It is pretty much the same score, just only take the M and V of the new SAT.</p>
<p>Yeah...I mean, you can do the straight-up proportion (Old SAT score*1.5), but that is only an approximate at best. It works fine if your 3 separate test scores are roughly equal, but if you have a gap, then it is less accurate. That's how it is for me--by the proportion method, my 2290 becomes a 1520 or 1530, but my actual old SAT score (well, my Math + Verbal) is a 1580. If you are trying to compare your current SAT scores with middle 50% brackets, I would just add together Math and Verbal.</p>
<p>Are you saying to add the math and verbal which totals a 1140 for my daughter, forget the writing score and base the 1140 on the old SAT perfect score of 1600????</p>
<p>Because there is no "verbal" score anymore, what I have seen done is to add the CR and Writing together, divide by 2, and then add the math. Thus, a 620CR, 800 M and 660 W would be 620 + 660 = 1280/2 = 640 + 800 = 1440. This makes the most sense to me.</p>
