<p>Anyone know? I've got high 500's in both sections, but I need the 725's.</p>
<p>lol good luck with that since its impossible</p>
<p>what? that was rude. how is it impossible?</p>
<p>on the contrary, it's very possible!</p>
<p>For CR: usually, if you miss less than 7 questions you are in the 700s, so for 725 i guess 5ish wrong (might be harsher, might be less harsh)</p>
<p>For math it varies a lot more. Sometimes it can be a bad curve with 3 wrong is 725, other times 4 or 5.</p>
<p>Don't take my word for this, but I'm think it's pretty accurate</p>
<p>umm how is this possible
unless the thread starter is being sarcastic he or she is very uneducated about the sat's</p>
<p>you could have a 720 or a 730 not a 725</p>
<p>^^^no way, you could even get an 812 on a section, if you ace it</p>
<p>i think he was just approximating, and approximating by 25s is usually nice</p>
<p>ihatesats2, simply because I don't spend every waking moment of my spare time hounding sat forums and researching every aspect of the sat does not mean I am uneducated on the subject. </p>
<p>What I mean by 725 in each section, because I was unclear, is that I need a 1450 between math and critical reading. So either section can have whatever score, as long as they add up. 725 is simply half way in between. </p>
<p>And to add on, if I was being sarcastic ihatesats2, that would be really unfunny humor. :P</p>

<p>This is true. I got a 2412 on the SAT because I aced writing. It put me in the 101st percentile, if you're dying to know.</p>
<p>@Indiejimmy- Well, im a lot better than you. I got a 2425 and 103 percentile.
@OP All you should do is take practice tests and learn the strategies.</p>
<p>I got 3 math questions wrong (skipping none) and got a 710. You would want to get no more than 2 math questions wrong to get a 720/730 (average, i guess it depends on the curve).</p>
<p>For Critical reading, I missed 10 CR (skipping none) and got a 680. You would want to probably get no more than 6 wrong to get around a 720/730.</p>
<p>Can I ask a new question then?</p>
<p>While you are taking the math portion of the test, do you get that same feeling that you get when you're taking a test in school and you are very familiar with all of the material?</p>
<p>When I take the math portion, I feel as if I am unsure about much of it.</p>
<p>How exactly can I learn strategies from practice books? A lot of times, the answer explanations are confusing.</p>
<p>dont read the answer explanations...just try re-solving the problem w/ what you already know.</p>
<p>oh hey nice tip. </p>
<p>I think anyone can score great on the SAT; some people just have to try a heck-of-a-lot harder. :P I'm exhausted!</p>
<p>Missing two Q's on the Math section got me a 760.<br>
There's a little more leeway in the writing and reading sections; missing two Q's in the reading section still gets you an 800. As for reading, an 11/12 on the essay is fine for an 800 (I didn't miss any other questions in that section, so I can't help you further.)</p>
<p>^^^^^^^I think SENIO8 is referring to the writing with the essay section not for the reading</p>
<p>If you are looking into strategies I would suggest getting the princeton review book. That helped me numerous times with the math section. For CR I would definitely suggest simply practicing with the different passages (and actually reading the explanations which helped me). Also, practice with flash cards if you are iffy on the vocab.</p>
<p>Yeah I did, sorry...</p>
<p>here are my scores - it might help you.</p>
<p>in december 2007, i got a 730 in reading - i missed six and omitted (didn't answer) none. i got a 740 in math and missed three, omitted zero.</p>
<p>in october 2007, i got a 720 in reading and missed seven, omitted zero. i got a 680 in math and missed five, omitted none.</p>
<p>That does help a lot, I have a better understanding now of how many I can miss.</p>
<p>BTW, good scores. And we're from the same state!</p>
