<p>I'm taking the SATs in a week and I was wondering how many mistakes you could make to still get 740+ in all the sections.</p>
<p>On my practices, I usually get about 2-4 wrong on CR, 0-1 wrong on Math, and 3-4 wrong on Writing. My collegeboard book (the blue one) gives me a depressing range on those. For example, if I miss 3, it already brings me down to a range of 700-800. Where in that range would getting 3 questions wrong be?</p>
<p>For those of you who score really high on the test, how many do you get wrong each section?</p>
<p>I don't know about hte other sections for high scores, but for CR I had a 730 last may, and a 740 in October.
Both times I had 6 wrong, with 0 omitted.</p>
<p>i missed 0 this time on math, but last may i missed two and got a 760. on writing this time i got 3 wrong and 9 on essay, and got a 710, so do well on your essay, because, as i'm sure you know, there are always ambiguous sentences on the writing that can go either way.</p>
<p>An 800 in math will pretty much always require every one correct, and I would guess it continues harshly down from there. Looking at my score from the time I got a 700, I missed 5 and omitted one. </p>
<p>CR will often let you miss one or two for an 800 (both times I took it I missed one and got an 800), which would seem to imply that you could miss 5 or so and still be in the mid-700s. </p>
<p>Writing I don't know. I don't really know how to factor together the essay and the multiple choice, because I haven't put that much thought into it. I made a 720 will 4 omitted and an 8 on the essay, and an 800 with nothing wrong and 12 essay. So...aim for in between those. Haha. Though the essay is so...gah. The way the grade it seems kind of arbitrary. But whatever, that discussion isn't for this thread.</p>
<p>I missed 0 for an 800 Math, but I think you can miss 2 and omit 1 for a 740. I missed 5 on the CR for a 720, I think you can only miss 4 for a 740. And for writing, I think I missed 2 and a 12 on the essay for an 800.</p>

Um, no.
Read my first response to the question.
I had a 730 and a 740 missing 6.</p>
