<p>...a perfect score on each section?</p>
<p>Yes, i'm sorry, I made it look like there's an absolute curve. From what i've seen on CC then...</p>
<p>for verbal u can miss 1 or 2
for math u can miss at the most 1
for writing u can miss 2 MC and get a 12/12 essay, or 0 MC and get a 10/12 essay.</p>
<p>actualy i missed 1 on math and got an 800 so in some cases thats not true ... i took it in may and had the verbal experimental section</p>
<p>The curve varies for each test. What wrathofgod64 said is not true at all.</p>
<p>He(WrathofGod) just said that it was an approximation. And he'll probably be pretty close.</p>
<p>at least we know that, depending on the curve,
for verbal you can either miss 1 or 2 but not 3
for math you can miss none or 1 but not 2
for writing you can miss 1 (for an 80 MC) and get a 10/12 essay if you got 80 MC</p>
<p>This brings up my question: If you miss one multiple choice but still get 80 as a subscore and a 10 essay do you get 800? Or do you have to miss none of the multiple choice to get an 800 w/ a 10 essay?</p>
<p>Stanonia the point is that we do not know that. -3 raw score has been 800 verbal and -2 has been 800 math in the past. Writing has only been administered twice, so we don't really know anything. Your question will vary depending on hte administration, but I think -1 80/10 essay could get a different score than a -0 80/10 essay.</p>
<p>For Writing I missed 3 mc and got 12/12 and recieved a 760, so i dont know that you can get 2 wrong and get an 800..</p>
<p>I missed 1 MC and 7/12 essay and I got 750. Your essay score was 5 points higher than mine and you only got 10 more points than I did. The multiple choice really brings your score down..</p>
<p>So in general, I think wrathofgod has the right idea. I oughta look at the past October curves to see if it's usually harsher or easier than the rest of the dates.</p>
<p>For math, at least the March test, -1 was a 790 :-(</p>
<p>IWTGTSS, in MAY -1 math was 780</p>
<p>I've never seen (or heard of) someone get a perfect math with one wrong. Actually, I'm only taking into account the new SATs and a couple of PSATs.</p>
<p>better mentally endowed? I am just waiting for the day that God smites you.</p>
<p>In the old SAT:</p>
<p>verbal 800= miss 2 max
math 800=perfect</p>
<p>Looking at the 10 Old SAT's book, the most wrong I have seen that still received an 800 were -5 Verbal & -2 Math.</p>
<p>Speaking generally, -2 is the max for verbal and -0 or -1 is the max for math.</p>
<p>On Writing, you can miss 1 on MC and get a 10 on Essay and still get 800.</p>
<p>That's all I kno.</p>
<p>:)</p>
<p>That's what I'm hoping I get on the June SAT, HiWei. I got 80, 7/12 last time.</p>
<p>Yeah I'm sure they use the MC subscore when determining the section score. So the number you got wrong doesn't matter, I think.</p>

<p>I got 1 grid-in wrong on the May SAT and got an 800 on math.</p>
