How the SAT is scored

<p>Hello! Can anybody tell me if it would be easier to take the SATs elsewhere than it were to take it in a country?</p>

<p>Coming from Singapore, there is a relatively small candidature and only the brightest take it. This means that 4 wrong on the Math section translates into a 720.</p>

<p>The Collegeboard site says that the test is scored based on your National stats. So I'm presuming that is why it's so hard to score well here. </p>

<p>Is this true? Or is everywhere else like this too?</p>

<p>A 720 for 4 wrong seems about right in the US too. Every question wrong is approximately 20 points, depending in the particular exam.</p>
