<p>So this may just be one of my rants but, on the math section, I received a score of 710. Now, some college would like that score to be higher and are willing to offer scholarships for higher math scores. </p>
<p>Now, out of 54 questions, I only missed 4. I think its not fair that the questions are worth so much. I mean, had i only missed 2, my score would be much higher? One or two questions wrong could affect whether or not you save 10 grand a year?</p>
<p>Problem is, a whole lot of people miss as few questions on Math, hence the brutal curve.</p>
<p>If you really want the higher score, just retake it.</p>
<p>that makes sense i guess. still, hate to be excluded from a college just because someone missed one less question that me and got like 30 points higher</p>
<p>Well, life is unfair and so is Collegeboard. :P</p>
<p>Why is it unfair? Certainly the people who got a few more wrong would like to be considered in the same percentile as those who didn't, but that's not the way it works. It's hard to believe that alone would "exclude" you from a college..</p>
<p>well of course that was an exaggeration.</p>
<p>what i meant was, say someone didnt understand one topic. say, similar triangles. if there were 5 similar triangle questions, and he missed them all, he might only pull for a 620 on the math section. Some schools would at least like to see 700. His chances are lower for majoring in something that has no relation for something that could easily be relearned.</p>
<p>Hey! I'm a junior member! When did that happen?</p>
<p>congrats! :)</p>
