That probably explains the easiness of the test. Many people felt that the test was ridiculously easy, and btw, one omit is the same as one wrong because both yield the same raw score. However, it's strange that a raw score of 53 got you 770 because it almost always yields 780-790. The math sections of the test must have been one of the easiest to date!

Yeah, I've been screwed two consecutive times by horrible math curves. Both times I made two silly mistakes (misread) and I got 740 and 750... fml.

Damn, probably should have guessed on that one then. For some reason, I had the impression that 1 omit will still yield me 800.
