<p>I'm confused about the scoring process for the PSAT. I thought that only 1/4th of a point was deducted for every wrong answer....so does -1 indicate 4 missed questions? Uhhh...I feel so dumb.</p>
<p>Ex.</p>
<p>39-80
38-78
37-73
36-72
35-70
34-68</p>
<p>Er. I’ve never taken the PSAT before, but if it is the same as the SAT with the scoring penalty being 1/4, then 4(1/4) = 1 point deducted from your raw score.</p>
<p>Yeah, I’ve never taken it either but if the policy is the same as SAT Reasoning, then 1/4 of a RAW point is deducted for a wrong answer. No point is deducted for omitted questions and 1 raw point is awarded for each correct answer.</p>
<p>At the end, all points are added up and the raw score is turned into the normal score using a curve.</p>
<p>Correct = +1
Incorrect = -.25
Omitted = 0</p>
<p>A perfect score (every question answered correctly) would be 39 raw (~80). Answering 4 incorrectly would yield a deduction of 5 points, which would be 34 raw (~68).</p>
