Another SAT Question! Please Help :)

Test Preparation
1

Hi… I am familiar with the SAT scoring for the most part… But for some reason this aspect of it confused me as well…

So I just did a math section test in my textbook… And this is what I got:

14 correct
1 omitted
1 wrong

So my question is: Is this the correct way to score it: 14 - .25 = 13.75/16?
Or would it be different? This has been troubling me for some reason and is pissing me off… Lol

If you could please clarify the exact way to do it as well, then thank you!

Yes, pretty much. Remember that you are not penalized for wrong answers to grid-ins.

Okay, technically getting an answer wrong is -1.25 because it is like you omit it, but also get points reduced. Even if I get everything right besides one, my score wouldn’t be -.25 (15.75), it would be 14.75 instead.

^Eh basically. Instead of getting 1 point, you get -0.25 points. In general, your raw score for each of the MC questions is

Raw score = (# questions answered correctly) - 0.25*(# MC questions answered incorrectly).
