Math 800

Test Preparation SAT Preparation
1

<p>If I skipped a question in the math section of the most recent November SAT testing, but got every other question correct, is there any chance I could still get an 800? What might my score be if I: skipped 1, got the rest right
skipped 1, got one wrong, the rest right</p>

<p>I'm hoping to be at 780+, but I'd like to hear what people have to say about this. Is there any way I could get 800 if I did not get any wrong but skipped one question, or is it all over? </p>

<p>And do people think that November will have a good or bad curve? Last time I took it was March and it was awful: -2 was a 740.</p>

<p>Not sure about your specific score, but this curve should be very harsh. I'm not a "math guy" by any means, and I'm decently confident that I made an 800 (as in, I can't remember a single question that I was "hazy" on). It was pretty simple.</p>

<p>^hookem, at this particular instant your posts count is 800; this could be another reassuring factor in your 800-confidence. :)
November SAT was easier than many others I've taken, so I am not very optimistic about the scoring scale/curve - I got at least two wrong on math (my rug was 3x3 feet, and multiples of 4 were part of a wrong set). I hope I don't hit 700. bleh</p>

<p>^ mwahahahaha! Ah, the little joys of semi-ominous signs.</p>

<p>P.S. hmmm I don't recall what I put for that question, but I also don't recall having any trouble with it at the time, so I guess that's good.</p>

<p>if u skipped 1, and got the rest all correct. this is the same as getting 1 wrong,which is kinda stupid because whether u answer or not,u get -1. so if u're in the 750s+ range, meaning u miss only 2,or less, u can randomly guess if u want. u wont get penalized for it LOL.
anyway if u skip 1, more than likely ur 800 is gone. cuz 800 for -1 is pretty rare and i heard nov math is not even hard =S</p>

<p>agreed ^

<p>yeah i know, it was easy. I just realized during the next section that I had fallen for a trap and I knew my answer was wrong so I erased it. I couldn't look at the question again for the other answer choices because it was the next section. I figured it might be another 10 points or something to have it be -1 rather than -1.25... even though they say they don't do it that way I have heard they do if you're looking at 780 vs 760, etc.</p>

8

<p>so anyways what score should I expect for -1?</p>

9

<p>770? I think this will be a harsher curve.</p>

<p>-2 750,
-3 720.
-4 700</p>

10

<p>yes you can expect a 800..my friend once missed one question in math but still got lucky.</p>

11

<p>on oct. SAT, i omitted 1 and missed 1 and got a 750 :( It was harsh.</p>

12

<p>^- that's what I got except I missed two and didn't omit.</p>

13

<p>There have been very few SATs on which a 53 math correlated to an 800. Depending on the difficulty of the test, a 53 is usually between a 780 and 790.</p>

14

<p>for oct i missed 1 and got 780 D< uggh. haha
and i heard nov was easier so curve MIGHT... be harsher? idon'tknow.</p>

15

<p>I will call that -1 will be 770. the test was easier.</p>

<p>I don't see why its much of a difference from a 780 though - i think colleges realize that both mean 1 question wrong.</p>

16

<p>a 53 (your raw score if you don't get anything else wrong) is most often a 780, but can be anywhere from a 770-800...i've taken a bunch of old sats as practice tests that give a 790 or an 800 for a raw score of 53, so it's possible to still get an 800</p>

<p>a 52 (if you get something else wrong) is usually in the 750-760 range, but i'm pretty sure it can be a 740 or a 770 also...i've never heard of higher or lower than that though</p>
