Hi and welcome to my blog,
I opened this blog to help anyone who is preparing for his SAT.
I remember myself when I started - I was so lost and in such a panic.
Luckily I got this great SAT guide that helped me a lot . So study hard and good luck!
Like I took one today on the SAT online course and here is my range.
Writing 660 – 790
(MC: 62-64, Essay: 12)
Critical Reading 580 – 640
Math 570 – 650
If that was the REAL SAT, what would be my score?

take the average of each section.
you got
715
610
610
it’s about a 1940. i suggest that you allow for 50 points either way on writing since it’s graded by humans. and i don’t know how much each question is worth, but on your hardest section (math), pretend you got 3-5 more wrong and see how that would affect the score. that would show a basic "worst-case scenario"
What you would do is take the two scores (highest to lowest range) and add them up, then divide them by two.
For example your math score would be: 570+650 = 1220/2 = 610
Reading score = 580+640 =1220/2 = 610
Writing score (which is extremely inaccurate) = 660+790 = 1450/2 = 725 or 720
Overall score = 1940.
Math and reading = 1220.
You could get into a lot of colleges with that score, just not the Top 20, if you want top 20 caliber scores I say aim for a 650 or above on reading and math.
