<p>is it possible to get one wrong in math and still have an 800?</p>
<p>Possible, but unlikely.</p>
<p>most likely not. with one wrong you're likely to get 780-790. there are many people that get all of the math questions correct and those are the people who get the 800.</p>
<p>How about in C.R. or in Writing?</p>
<p>definitely possible in critical reading.</p>
<p>In CR, definitely possible.</p>
<p>In Writing, that largely depends upon your essay score. If you get a 12, you can miss 5 (I believe)</p>
<p>In math, to get an 800 you must get every question right. I have never heard of a curve that lenient. One wrong usually ranges from 770-790.</p>
<p>well, it happened to me, last year I believe. I got 1 question wrong (grid-in) and got an 800 to my surprise. They sometimes do that for WS and CR, but almost never for Math. However, this January's SAT might have that curve.</p>
<p>-5 with a 12 Essay still an 800? I thought it was more like -2 or 3.... but that the was collegeboard 2005-2006 practice test.</p>
<p>No, plain and simple...</p>
<p>what's a raw score of 50 on math correspond to?</p>
<p>About a 720</p>
<p>Definitely -5 for writing and 12 essay does NOT equate to an 800. More like -2 at most. For critical reading it's definitely possible, even possible to get -2 sometimes. Math it's almost impossible. However, I am expecting the curve to be better since many middle school students took it for talent search programs.</p>
<p>did they take it in January?</p>
<p>There were at least 20-25 of the little kids at my test center, out of maybe 200-250 people there.</p>
<p>December SAT: my friend had a 12/12 essay and 5 wrong on MC. ended up with a 700 on the Writing portion.</p>
<p>Curves are horrendous</p>
<p>Odd because the SAT blue book says an 800 can be gotten with 42 raw score and 12 essay (48 total MC)</p>
