One question wrong on the SAT math section drops more than 10 points?

Test Preparation
1

<p>I got the very last problem wrong on my SAt math test, which was also the only one wrong, and... I have 770 instead of something more sensible like 800 or 790???</p>

2

<p>yes.</p>

3

<p>It varies from test to test. One wrong could result in a 800 score, but I think I’ve seen it as low as 760 too.</p>

4

<p>Happened to me too… I’m thinking of retaking in October one last time, since I’m still really mad about that.</p>

5

<p>Depends on the curve. Some SAT tests have gone as low as 760 for one wrong.</p>

6

<p>My D got 3 wrong, 1 omitted for a 680. It is a pretty harsh curve.</p>

<p>FYI, it is worse on the PSAT. My friend missed only one question on the test; unfortunately, it was in math, and she ended with a 235. Do a ton of practice, to the point that you can never miss a SAT math question. </p>

<p>But thanks for telling me though</p>

<p>I know two kids who got one wrong at different times. My son got a 760 and someone else got a 780. Funny thing is that both said the question they got wrong was “count on your fingers simple.” Don’t lose sleep over it. </p>
