<p>CR: 3 omitted, 10~11 wrong
M: 1 omitted, possibly 1~2 silly mistakes.
W: 0 omitted. maybe 1~2 silly mistakes but i doubt it. Essay... 8~9 i think</p>
<p>Probably not, if those estimates are accurate.</p>
<p>no, with that many CR omitted/wrong you're looking at 640ish. math is probably around a 740 ish W sounds like a 740ish as well.</p>
<p>2120?!:?!?!? OMG THATS MY SAT SCORE LOL</p>
<p>sorry. just found it funny. it's the same score just spread out differently lol</p>
<p>Will missing 2-3 math questions really take 60 points off your score?</p>
<p>Yes. The math curve is ridic...looks something like this</p>
<p>800 all correct</p>
<p>780 -1</p>
<p>750 -2 </p>
<p>740-20 -3</p>
<p>It gets a bit less harsh after that....and the scale can vary (-3 was 750 on October this year if I'm remembering what my friend told me correctly)</p>
<p>The math curve depends on the test you take. The curve is decided before the test is administered. Hard tests have a more lenient curve. Here is the info:
A common misconception is that SATs given in a particular month (say, October) are easier (or harder) than average. Related to this concept is the idea that the average test taker should avoid a particular test month if a large group of strong students will be taking the SAT that month. It is true that the difficulty of the SAT varies somewhat from one month to the next. However, the data show that no month is consistently harder or easier than average. For example, the following table shows how your math score would have varied on different tests, given that you had gotten two questions wrong. Also shown is the offset from the average score for two wrong or omitted (roughly 763) along with the difficulty of the test on the basis of its curve:</p>
<p>SAT Test Month Score Offset Difficulty
January, 2006 780 +17 Hard
January, 2007 760 -3 Average
January, 2008 760 -3 Average </p>
<p>May, 2006 760 -3 Average
May, 2007 770 +7 Average
May, 2008 750 -13 Easy </p>
<p>October, 2005 760 -3 Average
October, 2006 770 +7 Average
October, 2007 750 -13 Easy </p>
<p>The curve on the test, which generates a scaled score (200-800) from your raw score (the number of questions right minus a quarter point for each multiple-choice question wrong) is designed to correct for minor variations in the difficulty of the test. If the test is a little too hard (e.g., January, 2006) compared to an average SAT, you will get a higher score for the same raw score compared to an easier test (e.g., October, 2007). This curve is generated independently of whether or not a large group of strong students take the test. Even if they all get perfect 2400s, your score will be the same as it was had they not taken the test. So, finally, the answer is: take the test in the month that best suits your schedule. Whether you have time to study for the test or not is a much bigger factor in determining your score than variations in the difficulty of the test. For those really interested (warning: non-trivial math) in how SAT curves work, see this College Board white paper.</p>
<p>Honey, stop worrying and just wait and see your results. There's nothing on this website that can tell you for sure. Just believe in youself and know that there is nothing you cant do.</p>
<p>Dont worry i got a 400CR 330M 350W</p>

I missed 1 grid in and I got a 750.
WHAT.</p>
<p>For real? That's terrible! Are you sure you didn't omit one or two questions as well? What awful luck, for real, I'm not kidding...</p>
<p>That goes to show how unpredictable the curves are...</p>
<p>I heard it also depends on the difficulty of the individual question...
The last time I took it I missed 2 and got 750 on Math.</p>
<p>No, difficulty doesn't matter, so if someone is bad at math they should spend more time on easy and medium questions to make sure at least they get those right.</p>
<p>ya i missed one question with no omissions on my best test nd got a 750, it has happenned</p>
<p>It's the difficulty of the test that determines the curve. See my post above. 2 wrong in the math section on an "easy" SAT would be a 750. 2 wrong in the math section on a "difficult" SAT would be a 780. It all depends on the predetermined curve.</p>
<p>CR: -15, 630-640
M: -3, 740
W: -2, and since i know that the 8 essay can only hurt, i'm going to guess 740</p>
<p>it seems as though your score will be just below the 2150 mark if your hunches are correct, but this is taking the more pessimistic view. </p>
<p>in a perfect perfect score in any section, 40 of the points are given almost as bonus credit for style (you got them all, so we really don't know your true skill, so we'll just tag on 40 points), so if your predictions are wrong and you don't actually make any silly mistakes in math or writing, then you might just have made your goal, so just dream big until Feb. 12 and be productive.</p>
<p>You can probably get a 750-800 on writing
probably 750 for math</p>
<p>and critical reading, eek... well i suck at it too, don't worry</p>
