<p>1 wrong = 780? wtf.. crap.</p>
<p>are you guys serious with the math score? omg.... thats nuking futs</p>
<p>the verbal from today was def. half of the June test. I was siting there thinking, "I HAVE SEEN THIS BEFORE!" I thought I saw it in the 10 reals book, so I went and checked, but I didnt see it. It was definitely form the June test!</p>
<p>WHAT? only HALF? which half? def the last passage.</p>
<p>yes for june</p>
<p>i got 780M (1 wrong) so 1 wrong was definitely 780 in june</p>
<p>btw : I DID NOT RECOGNIZE ANY OF THE VERBAL SECTIONS ON THIS NOV TEST EVEN THOUGH I TOOK THE JUNE ONE TOO</p>
<p>yeah. cuz we, intl, or even Canadians this time got the "international version" , so its like the june one.</p>
<p>I think the math curve was something like
800, 780, 750, 740, 720, 710, 700</p>
<p>I know people who missed 2 had 750, a person who missed 3 and had 740. From this thread, it seems like people who missed 1 got 780. I got 3 wrong and omitted 2 and got 700. Which I was not very happy with.</p>
<p>But the verbal curve was nicer.</p>
<p>Wait. . .then I should have gotten a 740 for getting 3 wrong on Math? I knew they made a mistake.</p>
<p>Even if its 20 points, its worth fighting for. So, what should I do to report the problem?</p>
<p>No, because the three wrong rounds to four . (Remember, you lose points for each question you answered incorrectly.) So the 720 is the correct score for three wrong.</p>
<p>No, you need to get 4 wrong to lose a point. There's no rounding. . .right? Unless, of course, I got 3 quantitative comparisons wrong. But then, wouldn't that show up in my raw score? I would have a raw score of 56 out of 60 instead of 57 out of 60. That also proves that they didn't round.</p>
<p>Furthermore, I got a raw score of 70 out of 78 for getting 7 wrong on verbal. That's 78-7 = 71, and another point off for guessing. Note that they didn't take two points off when I got 7 wrong, so that proves there's no rounding.</p>
<p>By that logic, they had to have made a mistake. . .unless I'm missing something. . .</p>
<p>I was taught that they rounded off at every .5. (So if you got 2 wrong, it's rounded to 3. 3 wrong to 4. 4 wrong to 5. But 1 wrong doesn't round.) Maybe I was taught wrong. <em>shrugs</em> Someone else will have to step in and answer.</p>
<p>if you get 1 wrong, no point deduction from # right (# right.75) rounds up
if you get 2 wrong, no point deduction from # right (# right.5) rounds up
if you get 3 wrong, point reduction from # right (# right.25) rounds down
if you get 4 wrong, point reduction from # right (# right.0) stays as is.</p>
<p>and so on. if you get a certain # of questions wrong, it is most 'profitable' to get 4n-2 questions wrong while getting 4n-1 questions is the least profitable.</p>
<p>They do round. Is it fair? Not in my opinion.</p>
<p>what was the verbal curve like? will it be similar to the november test</p>
<p>vitamin1, what you're saying works with the 720 bit but it doesn't coincide with the raw scores that I just said. . .I have a raw score of 57 out of 60. I got 3 wrong. Hence, I did not lose a point based on rounding.</p>
<p>The only way your system would work is if they break it up based on section. I got a raw score of 40 out of 42 for Arithmetic and Algebraic Reasoning and a 17 out of 18 for Geometric Reasoning. Because I only got 2 wrong in one part and 1 wrong in the other, they both rounded up.</p>
<p>Still doesn't explain the 720 though. . .</p>
<p>57 (# right) - # wrong * .25 = 57 - .75 = 56.25</p>
<p>which rounds to 56</p>
<p>60 - 800
59 - 780
58 - 750
57 - 740
56 - 720</p>
<p>makes sense to me</p>
<p>Ok. . .but the score report explicitly says my raw score is a 57. . .</p>
<p>I want to see something. . .does anyone know the Verbal curve? I got a 720 with 7 wrong, no omits. I want to see if a raw score of 70 out of 78 (7 wrong minus 1 for guessing) or 69 out of 78 (minus 2 for guessing and rounding) yields a 720.</p>
<p>Either way, the score report says I have a raw score of 57 out of 60 and a raw score of 70 out of 78, so I don't understand what's going on.</p>
<p>What was th everbal score for 9-11 wrong....i got 6-7 wrong out of 54 so there must be more out of 78....</p>

<p>yep, i've noticed that too, they round up the raw scpre of EACH section then add it up.</p>
<p>That's why you shouldn't ever "guess" the experimental section. That's just a really bad idea.</p>
<p>Wow. I'm surprised CB recycled such a recent test. I took it.</p>
