Yes, there is negative marking in SAT examination. The SAT comprises 3 parts, viz, Critical Reading, Mathematics, and Writing. Each section of the examination is scored separately. For each correct answer, you will be credited with 1 mark and for each wrong answer, 0.25 marks will be deducted from your total score. However, in the 'grid in questions' of the Mathematics section there is no negative marking. Also, for the essay writing you will receive a separate score, which will be mentioned separately in your score card. The total score that you receive on adding all the correct answers and subtracting 1/4th for all the wrong answers, result in your 'raw score'.
