Question about the curve for SAT II US His and Lit

Test Preparation
1

<p>Approx. how many questions can you get wrong on the US history test or the Lit test before your score goes waaaay down? Is the curve generous? If anyone can answer:</p>

<p>Both US history and Lit,
How many wrong for:</p>

<p>800
750
700
650
600</p>

<p>... I was hoping for higher than a 700 on both IIs, since my scores were decent on my regular SAT english sections and I'm good a history- but, here were are a few days before the test and I haven't even touched the review book for Lit. I'm cramming everything I can for the US his test.</p>

<p>bump.... interested as well</p>

3

<p>can I bump this too?
I'm interested in US His</p>

4

<p>for the lit about 5, for the US hist 15 wrong and u will still have 800. it goes down to abt 700 at approx. 17 and 30 wrong respectively. obviously, this is only if u didnt make any mistakes and no fractions of points were subtracted...</p>

5

<p>is that really true? 15 wrong for an 800 still? That seems unreasonable but it would make me feel better...</p>

6

<p>let me rephrase that: 15 that you left out and 800 still. obviously, if you get some questions wrong, they deduct a 1/4 of a point for each...</p>

<p>i heard four pts for lit and 10 pts for ushist</p>
