Careless math mistake

<p>I took the international SAT last weekend and I'm 100% sure that I only have one mistake: in math. One careless, stupid mistake (triangle question, anyone?). So I'm probably looking at a 2300-2390 score (that depends on my essay score and 2390 is being really generous with the math curve). I know what you're thinking, "oh look, another score-obsessed person", but the thing is I'm not obsessed, it's just that I can't believe I'm going to miss out on the perfect score because of a stupid mistake! Sorry, just had to let this out somewhere. And my parents are fed up with listening to me complain.</p>

<p>Anyway, my question is: how big of a difference is there (to admissions officers) between a 2300-something score and a perfect one?</p>

<p>You can chill! There really is no difference. At least that’s what everyone here around me suggest :)</p>

<p>

To be perfectly honest, I can’t fault them for that.</p>

<p>It’s normal for you to feel frustrated. You believe you were very, very close. But nobody else, including college admissions officers, is going to care about this one tenth or even one hundredth as much as you do.</p>

<p>You’re going to think I’m even more of a nut job after what I’m about to say… I realized I got one more question wrong, one that I honestly had no idea how to solve. And I’m ecstatic. The thing is, I already had a 780 math score in my first try, so I was just upset about missing the 800 in this one because of a reckless mistake… but now that I know I’ll be superscoring with my previous result, I’m totally at ease. (Don’t judge me, I’m just another stressed-out teen )</p>

<p>Anything above 2300+ is same dude
Even if you get rejected from any university (hope that doesn’t happen :slight_smile: )
It is not going to be because of your SAT.</p>

<p>2300+ is acceptable to all the colleges! Don’t worry about that</p>
