SAT Raw scores? There must be something wrong here...

Test Preparation

<p>According to:
<a href="http://www.erikthered.com/tutor/SAT-Released-Test-Curves.pdf%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.erikthered.com/tutor/SAT-Released-Test-Curves.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>An SAT Math raw score of 49 out of 54 would yield 700, for most tests. That is 5 raw points off.</p>

<p>Assuming that a wrong answer means deducting 0.25 raw points, then that would mean a 700 SAT math section would have 20 wrong answers. So if you get 34 out of 54 on the SAT math section, you get 700 points? </p>

<p>I must be missing something here. Because that sounds too good to be true.</p>

<p>Please help.</p>

<p>when you answer a question and get it wrong, u get one raw point off + 0.25, so you get 1.25 off total. When you get a question wrong without answering it, then you will only get 1 raw point off.<br>
In this case 49/54 raw score means that you got around 4 off because 1.25 X 4=5 off which is 49/54 raw score.</p>
