How many questions are you allowed to omit on the SAT?

Test Preparation
1

<p>So I have been practicing in the official SAT study guide. I have been taking the practice tests. Let's say for one section in the CR I answer 16 (out of 24) , and get 3 wrong (what I just did), does this negatively affect my score? Or would it be the equivalent to 19-24 which is a 648 on the whole CR part of the SAT. My problem isn't answering the questions correctly, or not knowing the answer, its more-so not having the time to complete the whole section. In the past SATs I have answered all the questions. And my score reflected my inability to answer questions fast and accurate. I got a 560 on my first and only other CR section of the SAT. Does this method of answering what you know, and getting them right, but not answering all of the questions, get you a good score? Or are there other factors that would make my score go down, because of me omitting some of the questions? </p>

<p>Please answer this for me, I have to take the SAT again in 6 days, and I do not want to ruin my score because of this new method.</p>

<p>If you missed 8 question plus 3 wrong, it will be treated like missing 9 questions (or -9)</p>

<p>Okay I get it now. I am stupid for not understanding the concept of omitting, at first. Now I got it. Math section is 58 questions. You answer 75 % right, omit 25 % (about 14-15 questions), you get a 600 on the math section.</p>

<p>and then -1/4 of a point for every wrong answer.</p>

<p>No. Read here: [How</a> the SAT is Scored - Overview of SAT Scoring](<a href=“The SAT – SAT Suite | College Board”>Your SAT Score Explained – SAT Suite | College Board)</p>

<p>Answering 75% correctly does not automatically give you a 600. They curve the results.
