Score difference

<p>On the SAT II:Chem, the Barron's score scale is </p>

<p>85-75: 800-800
75-70: 800-780
70-65: 780-750
65-60: 750-720</p>

<p>But on Sparknotes, then score is like this:
79-80: 800-800
78: 790
77:780
76: 770
75: 770
74: 760
72: 750</p>

<p>Which one's right?</p>

<p>bumppppppppppppp</p>

<p>anyone?..........</p>

<p>bumpppity bumpopopo</p>

<p>bumpity bump</p>

<p>Either one can be right... I'm pretty sure the curve is adjusted based on difficulty of the questions.</p>

<p>It's somewhere in between. I think you can usually get 2-3 questions wrong and have an 800. The Sparknotes scale looks a little bit harsh.</p>

<p>Why does the Barron's test have 85 questions?</p>

<p>I think the actual test has 85 questions.</p>

<p>Then why does Sparknotes have 80 questions?</p>

<p>Sparknotes is weird.</p>

<p>Barrons is harder questions than on actual exam..
But if you are able to pull of 800 on their scale, you will likely pull off a 800 on the real thing..</p>

<p>Sparknotes corresponds more to the real thing.. but the scale is off a bit.. </p>

<p>The scale is usually something like 80-85 (800)</p>

<p>So on the actual test you can miss 6 and get a perfect?</p>

<p>how many questions wrong is a 760?
why dont we find out how many we got wrong on SAT IIs?</p>
