Can you get an 800 on PSAT critical Reading if you get 1 or 2 wrong or is that SAT

<p>I heard that for the SAT, if you get 1-3 wrong on critical reading you sometimes get an 800. </p>

<p>First of all, how is that possible? Does anyone have an example of a real SAT with a raw score chart that shows if you get 1 or more wrong you get an 800?</p>

<p>So if you do explain why it's possible, does that happen for the PSAT?</p>

<p>If anybody's reading this, the answer is yes. You can get 1 or 2 wrong and still get 800 on critical reading, however, it depends on the difficulty of the test. </p>

<p>PSAT 2004 Sat. 1 wrong = 800
PSAT 2006 Wed. 1 wrong = 800
PSAT 2006 SAT. 2 wrong = 800</p>

<p>From what I see, I wouldn't expect the chance for error and 800 on the 2008 PSAT.</p>

<p>bleh...i got 1 wrong and received a 78 for psat CR 2007</p>

<p><em>mad face</em></p>

4

<p>Meaning that the 2007 one was a little easier than the others listed. It just means that if you ahd taken the 2006 one or something, then chances are you would have missed 3 questions or so.</p>

<p>On the May 2008 exam, a raw score of 65 or better amounted to an 800.</p>

6

<p>Based on QAS tests (SATs), -2 or better (a raw score of at least 65) has always been good enough for 800 on CR. For PSATs, however, you usually need to get all the questions right.</p>

<p>^Yea. Good news is though, once you hit NMS there's really no benefit in scoring higher.</p>

<p>For SAT, 65+ (2 wrong) is ALWAYS an 800. Sometimes 64 (3 omit) is an 800 too. 3 wrong, on the other hand, 63, is never an 800, but 760-790.</p>
