<p>There are way too many pages to go through to see if this has been discussed on the individual threads, so in short... does anyone have a good guess or any historic info on the anticipated amount that can be missed for these tests in order to score an 800? -- For the test taken May 7th.</p>
<p>These are raw scores:
-10 for US
-4 for chem
-3 for bio</p>
<p>all should be a 800</p>
<p>Heres the one for U.S history</p>

<p>I got it from :[SparkNotes:</a> SAT Subject Test: U.S. History: Scoring and the SAT II U.S. History](<a href=“SparkNotes: Today's Most Popular Study Guides”>SparkNotes: Today's Most Popular Study Guides)</p>
<p>@ nostalgic – what is your source? you’re probably right, but your answers make me a little nervous :-).</p>
<p>thanks j12, i’m looking to see if there are other subject tests on sparknotes, thanks to your link.</p>
<p>My source is the blue book with all the tests in it.</p>
<p>^ sounds like a good source! thanks!</p>
<p>I feel like US was super easy, so I’m expecting a harsher curve like -8 or something.</p>
<p>lets just pray the curve is worse. AP’s curve is god-sent; SAT II’s…not so much</p>
<p>Just bumping to help out someone looking for bio curves.</p>
<p>-8 would be only 6 wrong right? and none left blank?</p>
<p>6 wrong is -7 and 7 wrong is -9, so -8 isn’t possible unless you skip something</p>
<p>? i think you’re wrong. 6 wrong is -6 + -2 for guessing penalties.</p>
<p>^6 wrong is -7.5, which rounds to -7 (after subtracting the penalty from the raw, the .5 rounds up in the raw score). 7 wrong is -8.75, which would round to -9.</p>
<p>ohhhhhhhhhh it rounds up? so in terms of negatives, it gets less negative? i always thought if on sats or w.e if you got like 6 wrong, you would get 6 off then another 2 points since there is a -1 for the 4 wrong and another -1 for the 2 wrong since it rounds up?</p>
<p>
I agree. The USH was much easier than the practice test I took.
Of course, that could just be because I took the APUSH test the day before, and had spent some time preparing for that (none specifically for the subject test other than one practice test).</p>
<p>EDIT - and yes, it rounds in your favor if it’s at a .5.</p>
<p>^^Let’s say you get 60 right and 6 wrong. You’d have 60-7.5=62.5. However, that rounds up to 63. So in reality, you’re only losing 7 points.</p>
<p>OHHHHHHH… i see, so am i just rounding before i subtract from the total?</p>
<p>^No, you round after you subtract.</p>
<p>yeah i’m saying that i rounded the amount i got wrong before i subtracted it.</p>
