<p>Its always 54 questions.</p>
<p>54 I believe</p>
<p>Btw, how do the take-offs from MC work?</p>
<p>Lets say you get 3 wrong in a section, that is -3 and then you subtract the penalty for wrong which is (3) * (0.25) = 0.75 so it is (-3 - 0.75) = -3.75 so is this counted as -3 or -4 when referring to raw score? How does the rounding work?</p>
<p>I think it's counted as a -4 (unfortunately).</p>
<p>is that always the case, what about if you get one wrong. That is -1 and then -0.25 which is -1.25 is that counted as a -1 or -2? What about the case with 2 wrong, -2 - 0.50 = -2.50 is this -2 or -3?</p>
<p>Im just trying to understand the rounding.</p>
<p>they round up or down
-1.25 = -1
-1.75 = -2</p>
<p>-2 questions = -2 points still
-3 questions = -4 points</p>
<p>Do they release the curve or will be able to tell when scores are released? I really don't know what to think on how I did. Some vocab was pretty hard and I am a critical reading and writing person. I think I did ok on the essay, had two solid examples, one personal and one historical. Math was easy in the beginning of each section but I couldn't do the last 1/3 of the questions. I need to study dumb math.</p>
<p>We'll be able to tell once scores are released. </p>
<p>CR sucked this time for SC. >:[ I'm still mad. Haha.</p>
<p>Here's Blue Book's Curve:</p>

<p>I have concluded that scores will vary only 20 points at most (usually) from test to test for a given raw score. Therefore, we can probably predict our scores pretty accurately if we know exactly how many we missed... haha</p>
<p>i wonder what the curves for 11/12 essay are. maybe my essay was good enough for a 12... :/ well i thought it was pretty good.</p>
<p>ay.</p>
<p>according to that curve, I'm already down to a 2330 :( I am praying that the math curve is really generous.</p>
<p>sry. i know you've probably answered this question like a thousand times. but what if i omited 4, and got about 5-7, do you know approximately what that would be scaled to. and please scale it to the lowest end. i don't want to be all excited and then disappointed when i get my scores back. </p>
<p>and for the april 2006 scaled scores why are like some of the scores higher than the ones that are lower. like for 49 in maht it's 690/720 and then 48 there's nothign in the 600's its all 700s. i dont' understand that.</p>
<p>5-6 WRONG = -8 points + say 3 blanks = -11 = 650ish</p>
<p>when you get 6 wrong don't you just minus .25 for each question you got wrong? so wouldn't it be 6*.25 which would be 1.5 and hten three blanks would be three points off so wouldn't it be -4.5?
i don't really understand how it works? could you kind of explainit please</p>
<p>aquamarine are you sure about that W curve? It seems awfully generous, especially for a 10</p>
<p>That Writing Curve is from the Blue Book, meaning that it isn't the NEW Writing curve. The NEW curve would probably look more like the horrible PSAT curve... Missing 2 is almost as deadly as it is in Math.</p>
<p>i got a 12 and 3 wrong in november and that was a 750. i wouldn't expect such a generous curve.</p>
<p>score predictions please:</p>
<p>math -2
writing -0 (11 essay)
c/r -10</p>
<p>Math: 760-750
Writing: 780
Critical Reading: (-13 points) 680ish</p>
<p>I don't want to know the horrible math curve... Haha. It's like -1 =770 or if we're lucky, 780 probably... wonderful, isn't it?</p>
<p>the reading section was ridiculously difficult because of vocab...at least for me.. think i got a 800 on the sat (cumulative)....wait...that might be stretching it!</p>
