How many of your Jan. SAT errors were careless?

(mainly for those with the Jan. QAS)

This should be interesting ^^
If you want, estimate how much more you would have gotten

for me: 1 careless writing, 1 careless math.

would have bumped my score up 50 points

1 really stupid math error. All the other errors I made are justified though.

1 reading which would have bumped me up at least 30... a -7 which is really a -9 to a -6 which really a -7 = (. Also 1 writing which would have given me a 800.

1 careless math error...

I wonder, did we all get the prime number with difference of 4 wrong?

^Just got it today. I'm pretty sure they give the kids who don't need it (scored 2400) late

I don't necessarily need it, but I've promised to loan it to all my friends as soon as I get it. They're still waiting for it to arrive so they can borrow it.

Haha no way, I missed the prime number one as well (the only one I missed... argh!). I put 10 as well, great minds think alike I guess. :P
