Is a 760 low for missing one question?

Test Preparation
1

<p>I got 53 of the 54 math questions right on the November 2009 SAT Test and got one incorrect. Does anyone else find this a bit low? I mean it was ONE problem! </p>

<p>Thanks,
Eddie</p>

<p>yeah it is low, but is is <em>supposed to</em> account for the tests difficulty. i had a score simliar to that for only missing a few, and on that test -1 was a 770. i think it is a little dumb though, because even if the test was <em>easier</em> there could have just been one question that was weird, or a simple mistake could have been made, so why should the rest of the test that you got correct hurt you? but in reality, each score must align to a certain percentile so that each score is comparable to every test date.</p>

<p>The curve is different on every test, so that just means people performed well and the test might have been to easy. That does sound a little weird though, I must admit…</p>

<p>2 wrong was 750 on my test but -1 was 770. Recently the math curve has been pretty harsh, averaging 770 for 1 wrong. Amd yes it stinks</p>

<p>Wow, -1 760 is very very harsh. Unfortunately that’s just the way it is.</p>

<p>I got one question wrong on the March 2009 SAT Math section, and that was good enough for a 790… that’s a pretty ridiculous curve IMO.</p>

7

<p>October 2009: -1=770, -2=750. I got two wrong and got a 750, and I thought that was harsh. I thought normally a -2 was 760, and -1 780.</p>

<p>There’s a website somewhere that lists exactly what the curve for every single SAT was for like the past eight years…</p>

<p>yeah, -1= 760 is really harsh.</p>
