Old SAT to New SAT

Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT) is an Entrance exam many colleges and universities in the United States conducted to select students for admission. It is a 3 hour long (excluding essay) pencil-paper examination consisting of multiple-choice questions of Reading, Writing, and Mathematics.

There were some changes made to the SAT back in March of 2016, which involved the remodeling of the scoring system. The total shifted from a 2400-marks scale to a 1600-scale.

Although the scores of the definitive sections of the SAT need to be combined to calculate your total SAT score, the two scenarios yield hugely dissimilar scores when converted section-wise and when converted altogether. Hence, to obtain the most accurate results, the calculation and conversion of the scores of each section separately would be recommended.
