<p>If you miss 4 questions in one case, and skip 4 in the other, in which situation will you end up with a higher raw score?</p>
<p>^The situation in which you skipped 4 (assuming that you got the same amount correct in both instances). In the second scenario, your score would be x-4, but in the first, it would be x - 5, because each missed question counts off a fourth of a point.</p>
