Welcome to the wonderful Science Section, where scoring often drops off faster than Wylie Coyote falls from a cliff!

In the Science Section, versus the Reading Section, you generally cannot miss as many and still score as high. While this is generally true, it does vary from test to test. I’ve seen Science Sections where you could’ve missed seven and scored around a 28. It really does vary. More often than not, though, what you experienced is pretty close to the norm.

If you look at score conversion charts for different tests, you’ll see how this works. These can be found online and in various prep books. Last thought: And this is why we practice.
