Hello guys. Can anyone tell me what score i can get in math lvl 2 with 5 blanks. The rest of them i think are correct, however 2-3 of them could be wrong. How could my score fluctuate?
My review book said to aim for 44/50 but the curve sometimes allows for 43 correct. I am not sure if that means 6-7 omitted or missed though.
To get 800 nowadays you need a raw score of about 44 - @Studios99’s book is correct.
so you can really only miss 4 and omit none?
Or miss 2 and omit 4.
The truth is, it’s hard to tell with certainty since CB has never released the Subject Tests (like QAS for SAT I), so the estimate is based on people’s accounts on haw many questions they omitted. Two published tests are like 20 year-old - you can’t rely on their scoring scales.
Say if somebody remembers for sure after the test that they skipped 6 and then tell us later they got 800, and somebody else shares similarly getting 790 with 5 skipped, then you know that on that test the raw score of 44 gets converted intto the scaled score of 800.
That’s what I have been observing (plus or minus 1) for the last several years.
or you can miss 5 and omit 0
That’s a raw score of 43.75 which rounds up to 44.
There are other scenarios as well, but I would recommend “worrying” more about accuracy than the number of questions answered.
800 is around 87th percentile; 790 is roughly 84th percentile, and then the drop slows down, so 800 on math 2 is not radically more impressive than 750.
Approximate curve (it might swing up or down on different test dates):
-6 : 800
-7 : 790
-8 : 780
-9 : 770
-10: 760
-11: 750
-12: 740
-13: 730
-14: 720
-15: 710
awesome, thank you guys so much! I guess the easy way to make sure it’s an 800 is to just get every question right 
@mochilate1897
But honestly, I think it is very unlikely only a 50/50 would get you a 800.
I think the harshest curve in the past was like a 47/50
omitted 4 and probably missed around 4-5 
damn that was easy up until the 35th question
So im taking the Math 2 this saturday and I was wondering how many, on average, I can miss to get an 800?
@mochilate1897
Well you are still looking at around 760~ which is still good!
Don’t want to be a doomsayer, but this (January 2016) was the easiest Level 2 (IIC) test I have ever seen, so the curve might turn pretty harsh, like
-4 : 800
-5 : 790
…
lol it was easy?
Just in comparison.
Good news (from the past)- it’s business as usual:
-6 : 800
-7 : 790
-8 : 780
-9 : 770
-10: 760
-11: 750
-12: 740
-13: 730
-14: 720
Exactly man. Easy up to 35th question. Then the statistical things killed me.
I miss the days when SAT II Math 800 scores were 90th percentile and higher…but now it isn’t even impressive anymore to get an 800
I got 47 correct when I took the test.
