<p>I was just looking at my March SAT scores and realized how crazy hard the Reading curve was...
I missed 3 questions out of 67 and omitted none=score of 770. If missing 3 questions is a 770, does that mean you can't miss ANY to get an 800? (Would -1=790, -2=780?) I realize the curves are different with each test and section, but that just seems unbelievably harsh. I thought you could miss 1 or 2 and still get an 800. Also I don't understand how they get the "raw score." Although I got 64/67 questions right, my raw score was 63. Any insight on all this?</p>
<p>Raw Score= Number of correct - number of wrong * 0.25</p>
<p>Therefore: 64- 3*.25 = 63.25= 63</p>
<p>sounds about right. i got 2 wrong and omitted one in May and gotta 780</p>
<p>so you probably can't even miss 1 to get an 800? wow...</p>
<p>YO G, I missed on on the MArch SAT and got the big eight double goose egg</p>
<p>on what section? how many?</p>
<p>so how many can you get incorrect to get a 700? 5?</p>
<p>I got two WRONG and got an 800 in March. Keep in mind that if you get three WRONG answers, you will also lose 0.75 points on top of the first 3 (because you lose 0.25 pt for each wrong answer). So your raw score is actually 63.25, which gets rounded to a 63. My guess for the March curve is</p>
<p>67/800
66/800
65/800
64/790
63/770
62/760 (or 750)
etc</p>
<p>Ohh that makes sense lumber7777, I see.
What is the point of raw scores though? They seem like a factor that un-curves it a little..but just a tiny tiny bit...just seems weird.</p>
<p>they take raw scores and then fit it to a bell-curve distrubution.</p>
<p>The March CR curve is as follows (this is from the Q&A service):</p>
<p>Raw score Scaled score
67 800
66 800
65 800
64 790
63 770
62 750
61 740
60 720
59 710
58 700
57 690
56 680
55 670
54 660</p>
<p>ok... good, I'm really hoping that the 2 question buffer continues. This makes all the difference in the world.</p>
<p>randomperson.. its all based on how you perform over others.. if its hard test then it will be.. if its easy test.. then it won't be.</p>
<p>bottom line: do well comparitively to others and your score will be good.</p>
