<p>If I get one less question wrong on another test date's version of the SAT (either math or reading sections) than I did on the one I took, is it possible to receive the same score? I'm asking this because if I retake the test, and get one less problem wrong on the math section than I did the time before, and still wind up with the same score on that section, it will have been a waste of time. Any chance of improvement, though, is good enough for me to retake it.</p>
<p>Yeah, it's possible...</p>
<p>What's your score? If you only got like two problems wrong, chances are you probably will get one or two wrong again. If you're talking about the Jan test, the math curve is as lenient as it gets...one wrong was still an 800, whereas in other tests it has been like a 760. In which case, your score would probably be lower if you retook it and got the same number wrong.</p>
<p>Well, I was actually more concerned about my CR score. I got a 750, which is pretty good for 4 wrong. I know how hard it is to improve CR when you get in this range so if I retake the test and get 3 wrong and still wind up with a 750, it will have been a waste of time.</p>
<p>Oh...I thought you said math. But yeah, with CR its pretty much up to chance. Might be that this time you get lucky and know all the vocab or something, but the CR curve was one of the better ones. Also, I took the Jan test and the CR actually seemed interesting/easy, whereas in other tests some passages are extremely extremely hard. I don't know...if your writing and math scores are about equivalent, I doubt retaking it would really help your score all that much. Would it be worth all that studying and stress for a mere 20ish points? I suggest focusing on SAT IIs instead.</p>
