How rare is -0 on Critical Reading?

Test Preparation
1

<p>Just for my own curiosity, being that usually you can miss 1 and possibly 2 and still receive an 800.</p>

<p>Also, how rare do you think it is for someone w/ a perfect Math & CR to miss 0 on both sections?</p>

2

<p>its extremely rare..</p>

<p>around 1/500 tests.. i believe..</p>

3

<p>I got -0 on mine. I don't know how rare it is, but I don't think colleges can see this anyway. Oh, and I definitely didn't have perfect math!</p>

4

<p>oneeyed, where did you come up w/ that number?</p>

5

<p>omg i wish i got -0 on my CR!!!</p>

<p>i'd kill to have that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>

<p>OMG!!!!!1</p>

6

<p>Omg!!!!!@!!!!@@!!111</p>

7

<p>estimate..</p>

<p>1/200 gets 800 on Verbal
and thats 1-2 misses..</p>

<p>and around 1/2 of them get perfect..</p>

<p>1/500 would be safe estimate..</p>

<p>How Did Yuo Get The 800 On Cr?!?!?!</p>

<p>Arg!</p>

<br>

9

<p>do you think that works for the 900 or so perfects? so like 400-500 got -0 in both?</p>

<p>(just curious b/c i got it) :)</p>

10

<p>1/200 kids do not score perfect on SAT CR!!! It's rarer than that...</p>

11

<p>yeah seriously. i would GUESS its more like 1/400</p>

12

<p>Ok, so can colleges see how many you missed or omitted? If so, do most look? Does a -0 800 CR look any better than a -1 omit 1 800 CR?</p>

13

<p>no they can't see how many u missed or omitted, all they see is your score</p>

<p>shame how you are smart enough to get an 800 but so stupid that u don't know they only look at the score</p>

14

<p>Jeez Checkmate LOL.</p>

<p>I've taken the SAT I (old or new) three times, and I got 800 on CR each time. But, I always got -1. It seems I'm incapable of just missing none on the critical reading; I always have to mess something up. </p>

<p>Even if the colleges were able to see that you missed none on the CR, I don't think they'd care. They hardly care about the difference between a 750 and an 800.</p>

15

<p>1 in 200???</p>

<p>no way
800 is 99.5 percentile...
Average is 506</p>

<p>No way 1/200 gets an 800
It would be one in 2 milluion prolly
(exagerrated, how many takers, calculate)</p>

16

<p>.5% of test takers get 800
lets say 2 million take it
.005*2000000=10,000
startling isn't it? A perfect score in fact is not that rare...
PS there are far more perfect math scores I believe</p>

17

<p>Oh well, I figured this is the only place on earth anyone would care, so I might as well brag here.</p>

18

<p>Someone actually had a thread about how many perfects in math and verbal there were...the numbers were like ~4000 for verbal and over 10,000 for the math.</p>

<p>There is slightly different information from slightly different years in the two documents linked above, but that will give you the general idea on SCALED scores. Exactly how many people get simultaneous error-free performances on the critical reading and math sections would be some smaller number than the number of single-sitting 1600 scores.</p>

<p>.475% of test takers score 800 on CR. (1 in 211)
.707% of test takers score 800 on Math. (1 in 141)</p>
