<p>Okay I'm confused about how 1 wrong would equate to a predicted 790 (March SAT curve predictions). If each question wrong is 1/4 off then how could 1 wrong result in 10 points off the 800 ? Someone help? Also how many would you have to get wrong for the math section in order to score at least a 600-650? Even below?</p>
<p>Bump…</p>
<p>You get 1/4 a point off, but you also don’t get a point. You need points to get a good score. Haha, simple math…</p>
<p>Tennis,</p>
<p>There is a raw score, and a scaled score. The raw score is the number of questions you get right minus 1/4 the number of questions you get wrong. The scaled score is the score out of 2400 - completely different. Think about it: There are 2400 possible points on the SAT but only a few hundred questions. How can this be?</p>
<p>It is as if you’re in class taking a 25 question test. Say you get two wrong. Then your teacher gathers all the exams, grades them, and decides what is an A, what is a B, and what is a C. It is the same with the SAT. They grade all our exams, give only the top math scores an 800, the next few scores maybe 780, the next scores a 760, etc.</p>
<p>Thank you for explaining!^^^</p>
<p>@toastytoci- it was a question no need for the “haha, simple math”…</p>
<p>I don’t think toasty was mocking you.</p>
