<p>I just stumbled upon a hilarious website about a man's quest to earn the lowest possible SAT score:</p>
<p>SAT</a> : Getting the lowest score possible</p>
<p>It's quite the accomplishment. I'd love to take the SAT again after getting into college, score a 600, and send it to the college I planned to attend in the fall. I wonder what they'd do.</p>
<p>LOL! That sounds like fun!</p>
<p>That must be harder than getting a perfect score.</p>
<p>I don’t see how it would be harder than getting a perfect score. Doing as badly as possible requires getting every MC wrong and getting a 0 on the essay, but you can get some MC correct, or get a higher grade on the essay, and still get a 600. Getting a 0 on the essay is obviously a lot easier than getting a 12 on the essay; all you have to do is leave it blank. As for the MC, you have a 4/5 chance of getting a question incorrect by randomly guessing, and only a 1/5 chance of getting it correct. But for most of the questions, you could probably find an answer that’s obviously incorrect anyways. Even for some math questions where it’s hard to tell what’s correct or incorrect without solving it, even if you can’t figure it out, you still have a higher chance of getting it incorrect than of getting it correct. As for the grid-ins, you can also just leave all of those blank. Overall, definitely easier to get a 600 than to get a 2400.</p>
<p>I agree with Nemesis. All you have to do is find all the wrong answers and leave the essay blank. Usually there is always one option from the answers that is definitely wrong. It would not be so hard to find the wrong ones.</p>
<p>You could just skip the entire test…</p>
<p>Just saying.</p>
<p>^ I’m pretty sure they don’t score it, then. And if they did, it would be all omissions, which wouldn’t be a 600.</p>
<p>Nemesis, I never said it was more difficult than or as difficult as scoring a 2400. But I do think it would be pretty tough. I wonder, though, could one fill in two answer choices for each question and get them all wrong? Or would they just not score it?</p>
<p>You could skip everything, except one question in each part, which you know the right answer, but you purposely pick the wrong answer.</p>
<p>THERE. LOL :D</p>
<p>I dont know about getting a 0 on the essay… I know someone who drew a picture and still got a 2 (a 1 from each grader) because the picture had one line of text which was on topic</p>
<p>Oh god people actually take the time to write guides on this???
Also hey StudiousMaximus, you took the Math Level 2 in May right? How did you do? I didn’t expect the curve to be THIS generous :)</p>
<p>@kimmylouie: That wouldn’t work. Omissions count more than wrong answers (-1 vs -1.25), so you’d still get a higher score than getting everything wrong.</p>
<p>@swoony: I got an 800! How did you do?</p>
<p>OH GAWD. This is harder than I expected!</p>
<p>I love how none of you are grasping the humor of this article, and are instead choosing to fight about the feasibility of actually scoring a 600 on the SAT.</p>
<p>^ Hmm did you miss my use of the word “hilarious” in the original post? Can’t we appreciate the humor and talk about the feasibility simultaneously?</p>
<p>TheBrightKnight: Drawing a picture might get a 1, but leaving it blank is definitely a 0.</p>
<p>StudiousMaximus: No, you didn’t say it was harder; EricSnow did.</p>
<p>Studious: Based on your following remark, clearly not.</p>
<p>Hmm, interesting, but I would never waste the time nor the money to go and take a test to show colleges how dumb that I can be. It is funny, but a stupid idea.</p>
<p>@StudiousMaximus, yeah I got an 800 too 
internet hi5!</p>
<p>I can see the essay being like:</p>
<p>“Me thinks that arts important to kids because me like furger paintin much”</p>
<p>CalvinTBOD: I did read the whole article, and yeah, I did find it funny. But I think seeing an article about scoring a 600, and then discussing the feasibility of scoring a 600, is a pretty reasonable reaction, regardless of whether the article was intended to be humorous or not. Yes, the article was hilarious, but that’s not what we’re discussing here. There was more to the article than JUST the humor. To paraphrase you, I love how you’re not grasping the part about the feasibility of getting a 600 on the SAT, and are instead choosing to fight about the humor of the article.</p>
