Calculation help

Can some give me a realistic estimate of what I might get on my sats if I get the follow:

Math: -5 raw points (4 wrong)
Writing: -5 raw points (4 wrong)
Reading: -9 raw points (7 wrong)

These include the 1/4 dection for each incorrectly answered question.

By the way it would be helpful if you tell me how many questions you got wrong on your actual sat and your actual score you got on that section. Thank you, this would give me a realistic idea of what I can expect

Don't you have the CollegeBoard Blue Book (or any practice book for that matter?)
Look at the Scoring Guide at the end of one of the practice tests.
They're pretty easy to follow.

Take note though, each practice test has a different range of scores for your raw score (since each test is different).
So it's probably better if you look at the Scoring Guide for the practice test you took.

The conversion from raw to cooked (scaled) scores is a little different for each test, so there's no way to give you an exact number.

However, using recent SATs as a guide, you probably would've scored in the following ranges:

math: 710-730
reading: 690-710
writing w/o essay: 68-72
