May SAT Math Curve

<p>4 wrong 1 omit 700</p>

<p>1 wrong 0 omit 800</p>

<p>yea, there must have been different forms, because 1 omit would be the same as 1 wrong</p>

<p>On the March test, 1 wrong dropped you to 790.</p>

<p>1 omit, 1 wrong: 780</p>

<p>3 wrong, 0 omit, 750</p>

<p>4 omit
7 wrong
640</p>

<p>To Valikor:
Same! I forgot to add Juan into the equation!!!!!! If I had done that one simple and obvious (although apparently not) step I would've had that 800!)</p>

<p>Tweek -- did you come up with 28?</p>

<p>I think I said:</p>

<p>3*x=(x)+(x+9)</p>

<p>therefor x=9; 18 people behind + 9 people in front + Juan = 28</p>

<p>lol. Sucks for me... and you :-P</p>

I thought that you lose a full point for an omit, 1/3 of a point for a wrong answer.

<p>When you answer a question incorrectly, you lose the point you would have earned in addition to the fractional penalty from the points you've gained on other questions. So answering incorrectly is worse than omitting, which just forgoes the point you could have earned on that question.</p>

<p>exactly what I did valikor ! :( :(</p>

<p>i love mexicans! thanks to juan i got an 800!</p>

<p>From my practice tests, I usually get 2 wrong with 4 omits. What would that translate into on the curve?</p>

<p>5 wrong, 1 omitted
670</p>

<p>the juan problem was pretty awesome i thought</p>
