I've heard 1 out of approximately 10,000 people get a 2400 on the SAT. So I guess the chance of getting a 2400 is 0.01%

yeah, it's always harder to get a perfect score on the SAT because of the -1/4 correction factor stuff and the fact that 1 or two questions in every section on the SAT are ridiculous (for me at least)

is that 1 out of 4000 for 36 ACT a perfect 36 or just 36? b/c 35.5 and 35.75 are both 36s.... i wonder how hard it is to get a perfect 36

It is harder to get 2400 on the SAT. 1 out of 5,500 students got perfect score last year according th College Board:

^^Don't be silly, Silverzc413, a 33 is above the middle 50% of scores from students who entered Cornell last year. I think your 33 is a great score! (If only I knew my scores... they still haven't been posted.)

questions wrong?

I got a 34 in June (34 E, 33 M, 36 R, 31 S). Is there any way to find out which/how many questions I got wrong from ACT?
