<p>I understand that leaving a question blank doesn't take any points off your raw score (but deprives you of points that you will need to score high) and getting 4 wrong only takes 1 point off your raw score, but how many questions can I leave blank and/or wrong in each section to still get above a 730 in each of the sections? I have done well on the practice tests (highest is 710 in math, 720 on critical reading, and 700 in writing on my latest practice test that I took at my local library). On all my practice tests I answered all the questions in each section but I feel that if I left some blank (since it won't hurt me) I can get a higher score.</p>
<p>I have usually seen 1-question curves for math and generally 20 pts/q.
So I would say 3 wrong is a 740, maybe 4.</p>
<p>Writing varies depending on your essay score, so I don't have an answer for you on that.</p>
<p>Critical reading I would estimate 5 wrong.</p>
<p>getting four questions wrong would mean losing 5 points (one for each question plus the 1/4 per wrong answer). </p>
<p>For math, I think you can probably leave six blank (assuming you don't miss any questions) or 5 wrong to get above a 730. I got four questions wrong, didn't leave any blank, and got a 740. </p>
<p>I don't know about the other sections. Can't you look in your score conversion table and figure it out?</p>
<p>on the sat i took, the math section was pretty easy so the curve was tough:</p>
<p>4 wrong = 710. (3 med. and 1 easy wrong :()</p>
<p>oh yeah none blank</p>
<p>i got 730 on the Jan SAT with -5 CR</p>
