<p>I have such a question. It is interesting because a friend of mine said that he had 1 mistake and had 780 while I had 1 mistake and had 770 and even more due to the comments here I strongly believe that 770 is the score for 1 mistake? Is it possible for him to have 780 with 1 mistake?</p>
<p>He probably missed a student-produced response, while you missed a multiple choice question.</p>
<p>Yes, I did miss a multiple choice question but he also did so. Some other ideas?</p>
<p>1 wrong doesn’t matter. -1.25 and -1 are the same. It depends on how easy it is. For the most part 780 is the lowest it goes for -1. If you’re lucky it can still be 800, or 790 for medium, but easy prob 780.</p>
<p>Bottom line – if you both took the June SAT, you should have the same score. If, however, you took another test which had a less generous curve, one wrong could equate to a 770 while wrong for your friend was a 780.</p>
<p>r u positive he didnt miss a fill-in?</p>
<p>cuz my friend got one wrong in march for a 780, i got a fill in wrong for a 790</p>
<p>you got an international test version because you live in bulgaria. If your friend is from America, then you had different tests, which explains the discrepancy.</p>
<p>No, I am talking about my friend in Bulgaria which took the same version of the test and made a mistake on a multiple choice question because after the test he asked me about my answer and I explained him why this is the correct answer. We both took the test in June. And the question was one of the last in the section and was definately HARD. My mistake was at HARD question too. I don’t know - is it possible?</p>
<p>Couldn’t both tests just have similar questions, or test the same concept?</p>
<p>EDIT: nvm. Have you <em>seen</em> your friend’s score? He may just be lying.</p>
<p>The conversion table has to be the same everywhere. </p>
<p>You must have been mistaken by your friend, or you guys may have gotten different versions of the test</p>
<p>We got the same test - all the people in the room got it! Evenmore - he got about 1900 first and after rescoring got 2220 (with 780 M which in my opinion is strange because on practice tests he got under 700 everytime). I haven’t seen his score so that’s why I posted that topic because I think he could lie (he cannot accept the fact somebody’s better than him). But nevertheless he is applying in Harvard and it is ridiculous to lie me because he is having 2 more SAT IIs in the remaining 2 SAT dates - so he is not plausible to lower his chances of getting in great college because of his ego. Strange situation. :)</p>
<p>Haha, don’t worry about it in that case. Don’t worry yourself over his “780” and your 770. 770 is, granted, already a good score. Even if he lies to you, he can’t lie to the admissions officers at any university (especially Harvard). I wouldn’t worry about it. Just let him talk and make up whatever about his scores. In the end, the only thing that matters is where you guys matriculate.</p>
