Approximation of my math score?

I don't remember EXACTLY how many I got wrong, but I'll just give some estimates.

Grid ins-1 wrong, maybe 2.
Omitted 2
Got 2 wrong and there's always a good chance of the 3rd or 4th careless mistake.

I was trying to get a 700, do I have a good chance at it with the curve?

probably not. The time a got a 710 it was with a 49/54 raw score. It looks as if you could end up with a 47 raw which would be around a 680.

I got 1 of the grid ins wrong, but didn't omit any.

I think I got 1-2 of the multiple choice wrong and omitted ~2.

Could I get close to a 700?

Aren't you usually allowed to miss like 1 and still get an 800?

DARN, so it looks like a lot of the math approximation scores or whatever are dependent on the test?

I'm sure this question has been answered before but does collegeboard set the curve according to the scores of the test takers? or do they arbitrarily set it up?? D:

WELL, if i got 2 grid-in's wrong.. which is like ommitting 2, and one multiple choice wrong for math, do you think that's still like 740??? =/ and i might have gotten more too... never 100% sure...i'm super worried... math is supposed to be my "strong" area too. seems like i freaked out a little bit too much... :[[[[

My d omitted one ... one she hopes was experimental ... and thinks she got the rest correct. If that one is experimental, does that mean it won't count against her?

no, 2 wrong would be around a 760/750. I got a 780 with one wrong.

Wow I was under the impression that there was atleast a slight curve on the math. But 1 wrong drops you to a 780. Yikes. I'm hoping for a 650-700 on Feb. 14th.
