<p>That sounds pretty accurate to me because I knew I did terribly on math (sure of like at least 6 incorrect) and I got a 610, and verbal I knew I got at least 3-4 vocab wrong and guessed at a couple more and got 710 so that had to be more lenient.</p>
<p>iriseyes and ingrid thanks for your response but I would like to know how many mc wrong(estimate) would be 69 or 78 raw score this time. </p>
<p>do you think 2 wrong is 78? someone very smart told me 4 wrong was 75 raw on this Jan sat. My son got 3 wrong on mc in writing what do you think the raw score will be? thank you</p>
<p>There are 49 mc questions, so the highest raw sore is 49. The "Writing Multiple Choice Conversion Table" (in the 2006 edition of the CB Blue Book) states
raw 49 = 78-80 scaled
raw 48 = 77-80 scaled
raw 47 = 74-80 scaled
raw 46 = 72-80 scaled
raw 45 = 70-80 scaled
raw 44 = 69-79 scaled</p>
<p>4 wrong answers would be a raw score of 44 (you loose .25 points for each wrong answer). 3 wrong answers would be a 45.
If 4 wrong is indeed a 75 on the Jan test, then maybe 3 wrong would be a 76 or 77. A 78 would be 1 or 2 wrong.</p>
<p>It also says that mc is about 70% of the score and the essay about 30%.</p>
<p>J mom,
my daughter who is a Junior took the Jan test. She did very well (CR 760, M 760, W 750). Her weakest part was the essay (8 of 12).
Good luck to your son.</p>
<p>thank you ingrid and congratulations to your daughter!!!<br>
doverbeach.
yes my son has been asking these questions to people he know in the States. as a concern mom who is almost always on cc asking questions and learning so much about college entrance in America, just thought I could help confirm what he had concluded to keep his mind at peace!</p>
