770 on math

<p>Hi, I got a 770 on the math section of the SAT I but when I looked at my score report, it said I only got one question incorrect. Is a 770 too low for only missing one q?</p>

<p>It's pretty harsh, but I doubt it's a mistake. You almost always drop from 800 by missing anything in math (unlike CR)...perhaps that far. But I don't really know anyone who's missed exactly one, so I can't say whether this is a typical drop. But it doesn't seem out of the question.</p>

<p>Yes, the 770 is right. This kid from my school got the same score on the Nov. SAT Math. He also only got one wrong. Math had a harsh curve.</p>

<p>yeah, I had the same problem last test. I was pretty angry about the 770 after missing only question, but I naturally took it over and fortunately scored an 800. You should do the same if it's bothering you...</p>

<p>This sounds like a bit of (rooster) and bull to me (if you're referring to the Nov. Test, that is). The full score report won't be online for still some time. I finally garnered the courage to look at my score and was pleasantly surprised by a 770 . I definitely missed 2 questions.</p>

<p>Too bad you didn't take the october one, I got one wrong but got an 800.</p>

<p>It's all luck of the draw, it's not like I planned taking a test based on a predicted curve</p>

<p>That's why SAT scores aren't the only factors considered in admission.</p>

<p>i agree with perplex</p>

<p>Yeah, its right</p>

<p>first time, got a 770 in math after missing one. retook and got an 800</p>

<p>oh, i was pretti lucky, for the oct SAT, i got 1 wrong, buh still got 800</p>

<p>Took the SAT last October; missed 1 on the Math portion and resulted in a 770. ETS sould know we aren't machines and are bound to make a silly mistake here and there . A 1 mistake cushion should be the least we deserve for sitting 5 hours in class on a Saturday.</p>

<p>Another "one wrong- 770 on the Nov test" here. It is a harsh curve. But then why was this not true for the Oct test? Why wouldnt one wrong have been a 780 or 790? Anyone have the stats in front of them to explain?</p>

<p>One wrong - 770 here also for the Novemeber test.</p>

<p>It was an easy math section compared to previous ones, which is why the curve is harsher.</p>

<p>I got a 740 on mine =(</p>

<p>Man, that's harsh. I missed two on the January SAT and made a 780.</p>

<p>My friend got one wrong and skipped one and got a 730.</p>

<p>I'm pretty sure you're lying.</p>

<p>Me? How do you figure?</p>

<p>Because -2 raw never equals a 730?</p>

<p>Why is that not possible? Doesn't it matter on the day of the test?</p>

<p>I know he only got one wrong. Maybe he skipped two?</p>
