<p>what wud 3 wrong on math be?</p>

2

<p>lol "3 wrong" would be a different score from "2 omit and 1 wrong"</p>

3

<p>really??? isnt it still the same raw score?</p>

4

<p>Yeah, it'll be different. An omit doesn't count against you, but a wrong answer reduces 1/4 of a point. CB rounds up.</p>

5

<p>ok so if i got 2 grid ins wrong and 1 mc wrong, what wudmy score most liekely be for math</p>

6

<p>2 grid in and 1 mc wrong will probably get you a 700 or so.</p>

7

<p>^ lol! no, more like... a 740?</p>

8

<p>I say around 700, +- 20.</p>

9

<p>That would be a 51/54 raw score, which corresponds to about 730.</p>

10

<p>Psh, definatly more 740ish than 700ish. The math section wasn't <em>that</em> easy.</p>

11

<p>omg @velleity how do u imagine 680 for 3 errors ?-3 will probably mean 740-750 on that test because it was really hard,compared to other tests.</p>

12

<p>oooo thanks guys :). can sum1 explain the rounding up part? lol sounds like a dumb q but im not quite sure i get it.</p>

<p>Each question you answer correctly earns you 1 point, correct? And each question you skip produces no effect, and each question you get wrong subtracts 0.25 points from your score, in addition to not counting towards your raw score.</p>

<p>So, basically, if you got 50 questions right out of 54, you'd have a raw score of 50 if you skipped the rest. If you got 2 wrong and skipped 2, you'd have a raw score of 49.5; however, CollegeBoard rounds up your raw score [from 0.5+] so you'd still have a 50. But if you got 3 wrong and skipped 1, you'd have a raw score of 49.25, which would round down to a 49. </p>

<p>Hope that helps.</p>

<p>oooo ok i understand now lol</p>

<p>idk, i remember i received 48 pts/54pts = 690. Then my second time around 52pts/54pts =740. But based on the collegeboard's 2008 - 2009 scoring guide. A raw score of 51 is 740. There are many discrepancies for each SAT test, but in the end the raw scores tend to match up with the scaled scores. I' m guessing 51 should be anywhere from 720 - 740. Anyway its still up in the 700 range, so awesome job if you do get that score.</p>
