Math sat ii urgent

<p>okay i left 8 blank and i probably got about 10-12 worst case senario
and 5-8 wrong best case..
what could my scores be?</p>

<p>200 at best.</p>

<p>Sorry for the choice of words, but do the math.</p>

<p>Worst case: 50 questions - 8 blank - 12 wrong = 30 correct. 12 wrong * 0.25 each = 3 points guessing penalty. 30 correct - 3 points guessing penalty gives raw score of 27.</p>

<p>Best case: 50 questions - 8 blank - 5 wrong = 37 correct. 5 wrong * 0.25 = 1.25 (round down to 1) point guessing penalty. 37 correct - 1 point guessing penalty = raw score of 36.</p>

<p>Raw scores convert to scaled scores using “the curve.” Curves are different depending on the test. Using the conversion chart in the blue book for Math Level 2 as an example, your scaled score could be anywhere from a 630 to a 710.</p>

<p>The scale starts at 200 and you have to have attempted and missed darn near everything (i.e., a negative raw score) to get one. In fact, the way many curves work, it’s not even possible.</p>

<p>alright thankyou soooo much!!</p>

<p>wait was that the scale for Math II or Math I ??</p>

<p>The curve depends on the test you took–the subject and the date. What I quoted was the Math Level 2 curve from the College Board “blue book” that has one of each of the subject tests in it. The curve for Saturday’s test will probably be a little, but not radically, different.</p>

<p>okay good i was talking about Math II i also took math I which i skipped 2 and believe i got about 7 wrong</p>
