<p>wow
that is actually true </p>
<p>if he got 1 more question right in each section = 2400</p>
<p>^^ no, silverturtle</p>
<p>i am not sure, but i think handala lost a total of 5 questions. he could have achieved a perfect even if he lost only 2 question on the CR.</p>
<p>Guys, remember that colleges don’t receive just your scores. They also receive an SAT score report. So, if they see for example an 740 in math which is due to 2 wrong questions which belong at the “easy” difficulty group, and all the “hard” and “medium” difficulty questions are answered correctly they will probably realize that the 2 wrong answers where due to a stupid mistakes and they will understand that 90% the applicant knew how to solve these questions. In this case I don’t think that they would see this applicant as “weaker in math” than an applicant with an 800. Remember that SAT’s are just relative indicators of the applicants abilities.</p>
<p>Really? I hope they do scrutinize to that level because I got 720 on maths due to wrong answer on 2 easy and 1 medium questions. Your post makes me excited lol.</p>
<p>Meh, I was a few essay points short from a 2400. I suppose that’s what I get for not preparing. :(</p>
<p>The nice thing about the essay is that you can basically ignore it if you can get really confident with the MC. I figured that, personally, my time would be better spent shooting for 100% MC (writing is, if you ask me, the easiest section to improve) and that’s how I nabbed my 800 (80MC 10 Essay)</p>
<p>A decently written firsthand experience is an easy 10 if you follow the 5p formula.</p>
<p>Heh, I had an 8 essay, but the MC curve was brutal. I only got one question wrong but ended up with a 75 raw.</p>
<p>Bah this is really lame :(</p>
<p>i WAS shooting for 100% MC on writing.
I got one question wrong (77MC) but I messed up on the essay (8). I ended up with a 730 on writing.
So yeah. Don’t ignore the essay completely. I was actually expecting a 10 at least, but turns out I suck at writing essays</p>
<p>Ouch, that must be painful, impetuous. Missing one questions and getting a 730, lol.</p>
