omitting vs guessing on sat math level 2

<p>Hello :)</p>

<p>How much wrong answer matter in sat math level 2?</p>

<p>is their a big difference in score between for example omitting 5 questions and answer 5 questions wrong?</p>

<p>OMIT! U can omit 8 qs and get an 800, but each wrong q is -0.25 I think in addition to the missed point. So 8 wrong ones would be 2 extra points dropped, so if your not sure definitely omit</p>

<p>people talk more and more about new harsh curves… is not 8 omitted questions a lot for getting 800?</p>

<p>Idk</p>

<p>From the curves I’ve seen, omitting 6 is generally an 800 on Math Level 2. At least, that’s the safe estimate. The curve is one of the most lenient of all the Subject Tests, as an 800 is only the 89th percentile. </p>

<p>As for your question, there is not a big difference between missing 5 and omitting 5. The first gives a raw score of 44 (usually an 800), whereas the second gives a raw score of 45 (also an 800). As Abcd3f3 said, missing a question is -1.25, and omitting is -1. The tests rounds in your favor as well (a -6.5 would give a raw score of 44, not 43).</p>

<p>StudiousMaximus thanks for replying !</p>

<p>but dont you think that answering questions is better?</p>

<p>Because there is always a chance to guess. ))</p>

<p>in Barrons test i scored around 600,650,700</p>

<p>What do you think i will get in the real test?</p>

<p>^ to the OP,
Barrons Tests are harder than the normal test by a long shot. FAR HARDER. Let me put this into perspective, I got straight 740s on all 3 or so of the practice tests. When the actual exam came, I got an 800, with what I believe was 0 mistakes. On a normal day, you should hope to score 750.</p>

<p>I skipped four and got an 800. The key is to really manage your time well. If a question looks totally foreign, skip it. If you have time at the end, do the problems from easiest t hardest.</p>

<p>I believe I skipped 3 and got 2 wrong and managed to get an 800 on the SAT II Math Test in June last year! :)</p>
