<p>Now, when people talk about curves and how a minus 2 in math could be a 780...
What do they mean by minus 2? Do they mean 2 raw points or do they mean two questions wrong?</p>
<p>Then, there's another thing that concerns me. I am not that comfortable with the math section of the SAT, so I noticed I have a particular test-taking trend. I answer fewer questions, yet I am sure of the answers to those selective questions. Is this method going to yield an overall weaker score or a stronger score?</p>
<p>Getting only 2 questions wrong would give the same score as ommitting 2 questions. You lose a quarter point for each multiple choice question you get wrong, so getting 2 wrong has a net result of -2.5 which rounds to -2 (-2 for the 2 points you didn’t get, and -.5 for getting the 2 wrong).</p>
<p>The number of questions you should be answering depends on what you are currently getting on the math sections of College Board tests. If you give me this information I can give you some guidance.</p>
<p>I am a bit confused…in Jan’12 testing, I got 2 wrong in Maths i.e. 52/54 on raw scale and my score was 770…in May’12 testing, I got only 1 wrong i.e.53/54 on raw scale but the score remained 770…could there be a mistake and I should ask for a review ?</p>
