SATs scaled score converter
Pick the year and the subject, maths or SPaG (grammar, punctuation and spelling), type the raw mark, and get the scaled score from that year's official table.
Convert a raw score
The converter uses the official conversion tables for 2016 to 2026.
Maths is out of 110, from the three papers added together. Grammar, punctuation and spelling is out of 70, from its two papers. A single paper has no scaled score of its own.
Reading is not covered here, because the reading papers are not on this site.
Need the raw mark first? Sit the KS2 SATs past papers here. The site marks what it can be certain of, a grown-up marks the rest with the official mark scheme on screen, and the score is worked out once every paper in a subject is done.
What the expected standard means
Scaled scores run from 80 to 120. 100 or more means the expected standard was met, and that is what people mean when they call it a pass.
What is a good SATs score? Anything from 100 up meets the expected standard. A scaled score of 110 or more is what the Department for Education counts as the higher standard, in maths and in grammar, punctuation and spelling (GOV.UK primary school accountability technical guide).
Is 98 a pass? No. 98 is close, but it is below 100, so it is below the expected standard.
A score worked out here is a practice score from a sitting at home. It uses the official table, but it is not an official result.
Raw marks needed each year
The mark needed for 100 moves a little each year because the papers differ in difficulty. Each year links to its official conversion table on GOV.UK.
