</p>

<p>No it isn’t.</p>

42

<p>He was just properly restricting the domain.</p>

43

<p>

It’s not. Regardless of your raw score, the minimum you can receive on any individual section is a 200.</p>

<p>On topic: When people ask me my SAT score, I usually just say good enough.</p>

44

<p>this is regular conversation. there’s no need to restrict domains</p>

45

<p>@ThisCouldBeHeavn: </p>

<p>…really? What if you get every single question wrong and get -.25*100 or something to your raw score of 0?</p>

<p>Edit: Okay, I guess not. Well, this is reassuring: no matter how bad you do, you’re guaranteed a 600.</p>

46

<p>A negative raw score still produces a 200 on any given section.</p>

47

<p>But that’s why a “*” is used I thought. Then there’s no need for proper grammar. Really.</p>

<p>Negative raw scores are 200.</p>

<p>A raw score of 0 is higher. Maybe 250.</p>

48

<p>I can’t imagine knowing someone doing that bad. All of my friends were in the range of 1500-2100 as sophomores.</p>

49

<p>“I am happy with it, and I’m not telling you what I got”</p>

50

<p>

Then add that your Form 45-Q results were off the charts and say that you’re going to a very special place to continue your studies.</p>

51

<p>By CC-standards, I did really poorly (2100) but I still was one of the top 10 or so scores (I guess statistically speaking, that makes sense), but I just say, 2100.</p>

<p>Of course, it got around school REALLY fast that I got an 800 on CR and 690 on Math. I then became “1490” kid, because I had the top CR+M score in the school. Kind of annoying that people who I barely know know my score, but what the hell. I just answer the question and people can respond to it however they want.</p>

52

<p>

</p>

<p>I think that’s true of the PSAT but not the SAT. IIRC, negative raw scores on the SAT just become 0.</p>

<p>

<p>lol
randokid: What did you get on the SAT?
TCBH: 2330
randokid: DAAAAAAAMMMNN! That’s like a thousand more points than me! Daamn, that’s like perfect</p>

53

<p>If I see correctly, the Blue Book has several tables devoted to showing the curves.</p>

<p>CR:
“-6 and below” = 200
“0” = 200-290</p>

<p>Math:
“-6 and below” = 200
“0” = 210-310</p>

<p>Writing MC
“-6 and below” = 20-22
“0” = 24-34</p>

<p>Taken from the last practice test.</p>

<p>So I am not quite sure what you’re trying to say.</p>

54

<p>I always say that I forgot these kinds of important test scores.
…no, I seriously did forget.</p>

55

<p>A 600 is the lowest possible score, but has anyone ACTUALLY heard of anyone getting a score in that range? or even a score under 1000? I personally have never even heard of anyone getting a score under 1800.</p>

56

<p>Just tell them your score. Then say you will do just fine. Be nice. Be honest. Be irritated at all my Be’s.</p>

57

<p>

</p>

<p>lol, what the ****</p>

58

<p>Well, the national SAT score in 2008 was 1511 according to [Average</a> SAT scores remained flat in 2008 - USATODAY.com](<a href=“http://www.usatoday.com/news/education/2008-08-26-SAT-scores_N.htm]Average”>http://www.usatoday.com/news/education/2008-08-26-SAT-scores_N.htm) .</p>

<p>So over 50% of students scores below 1800 (and I guess a lot more than 50%, but I don’t know the standard deviation or anything).</p>

59

<p>According to [url=<a href=“SAT - Wikipedia”>SAT - Wikipedia]wikipedia[/url</a>], 83% get less than 1800.</p>

<p>^Yeah, so I don’t understand how that person didn’t know anyone who scored under 1800.l I mean, they obviously do <em>know</em> tons of people like that (without knowing their scores). Yeah…</p>
