okay, allow me to explain. I missed 2 OCT administration and got a 780. you know that you have a .25 pts deduction everytime you miss a question that has four answers and .33 one comparasions right? So if you miss two questions in ONE of the multiple choice sections, you actually miss 2.5 pts ~ 3pts. So actually you miss THREE points.
Now, if you miss two on questions that don’t count off, such as student produced answers, you don’t lose points- I actually missed one here and one somerewhere else- so you miss ONE point.
So it really boils down to WHERE you miss the two questions, whether it is both in the same section or in different sections.
