<p>ah i think i skipped too many...probably 5-9 in all....it was my first time taking it and i realized skipping one is equal to getting 4 wrong...geez...</p>
<p>also, what is the max score you think i can get for skipping that many?</p>
<p>Skipping one isn't equal to getting 4 wrong. Getting 4 wrong cuts off 5 points because the number of correct answers goes down by 4 and then you subtract 1. I think...correct me if I'm wrong...</p>
<p>I didn't skip any...I have an irrational fear of omitted questions...:p</p>
<p>you sure? i thought getting one wrong is 1/4 off...</p>
<p>if you fill in a bubble and get it wrong then its 1/4 pt. off but if you omit and don't fill in the bubble then you don't lose any points </p>
<p>oh and i omitted only one question.. last question of section 9 for CR</p>
<p>i know..so if i answered every single question, gettin four wrong would be the same as skipping one and not missing any? </p>
<p>true or false?</p>
<p>Yeah, it's 1/4 off if you get one wrong but it's basically like 1.25 off your raw score because they calculate raw score by subtracting the .25(# of incorrect answers) from the total number of correct answers.</p>
<p>Omitting a question subtracts 1 point from your raw score instead of 1.25...</p>
<p>how much can u omit and get wrong and still get a 600 ??</p>
<p>No, if you leave 1 blank you cannot get the point for that question which is like losing 1. If you get 4 wrong, you dont get the 4 points and you also lose another point.. or I guess if you get 3 or more wrong you will lose an extra point..</p>
<p>this is what 4 wrong would be:</p>
<p>skip 5 = 4 wrong</p>
<p>oh geez...so does that mean its better to answer all?</p>
<p>If you can eliminate a few answers, most of the time it is better to answer...</p>
<p>I believe i skipped one or two questions</p>
<p>the last SC in Section 6 or 7 i skipped... that's all i remember</p>

<p>the short answer? statistically, yes.</p>
<p>2 on math that I could not narrow even one
nothing on anything else</p>
<p>skipping means you lose that 1 point but no more...</p>
<p>getting something wrong means you lose that 1 point and .25 per question wrong...</p>
<p>Basically if you get 3 wrong you lose 3.75 which they will round up to 4 wrong for 3 questions...</p>
<p>you skip 3, that is only 3 points taken off.</p>
<p>And it is not good to answer all if you are just guessing. As long as you can eliminate 1 or 2 then it might be good to answer, but if you are absolutely, 100% clueless just skip it</p>
<p>It's worth it if you can eliminate it down to 2-3 choices</p>
<p>Let us say that there are 16 questions on a section</p>
<p>We will base this only the equation they use... #right-(#wrong times .25)</p>
<p>Skipping 1 will be a deduction of 1 because you are taking away from your number of right.</p>
<p>Getting it wrong will not only be a deduction of 1, but also (#wrong times .25)</p>
<p>E(x)=expected amount of points gained
E(X|0 eliminated)=P(Wrong)(-1/4)+P(Right)(1)=(4/5)(-1/4)+(1/5)(1)=-3/5 points
E(X|1 eliminated)=P(Wrong)(-1/4)+P(Right)(1)=(3/4)(-1/4)+(1/4)(1)=1/16 points</p>
<p>I guess you're safe if you eliminate 1?</p>
<p>does anyone know wat 6 wrong...inlcuding 2 grid ins and moit 3 on math is.....i no its terrible..i might cancel my score...i made the most retarded mistakes like plugging things in wrong and reading diagrams wrong. I amd a alot of really really retarded mistakes and im really ****ed off.</p>
<p>for the painter passage someone said they put admiration was the tone. i put affection because the author noted the flaws in the painter’s style, but was also respectful of his strengths. any thoughts?</p>
