<p>I know,we all heared that ‘YOU DON’T NEED ANSWER ALL OF THEM TO ACHIEVE AN IMPRESSIVE SCORES’</p>

<p>Someone told me even if I made 1-2mistakes I still probably get 800.But when I finish every real test of SAT,I found out all the conversion tables are almost same(Altough there is a note below said:This table is for use only with the test in this booklet.)</p>

<p>Is the conversion always same？All,it varies according to the whole statistics every time?</p>

<p>For the vast majority of SATs, yes you have to answer each question correctly to get an 800 in math.</p>

<p>^Seconded.</p>

<p>^Thirdeded</p>

<p>These days it is true…</p>

<p>Maybe May 2009 is the latest exception.</p>

<p>2 mistakes and still get 800 is daydreaming</p>

7

<p>Wow,look like the 800 is really exact.Is the situation of reading and writing parts same as the math?I think geting a fully answered part of reading with 100% accuracy is unlikely to happen…</p>

<p>CR and writing are much more lenient than math is. For CR, you can get 1-2 wrong and still end up getting an 800. Writing scores are usually 800 with 49/49 + 9 or above essay score. Math almost always requires 100% accuracy for 800, which is not hard but it requires a lot of prudence and calmness of mind. Chances are that if you’re panicking and worrying about getting questions wrong, you’ll make a few careless errors that will cost you about 50-60 points in the long run.</p>

<p>^Seconded.</p>

<p>^Fun fact: before the recentering of the scale in 1994, typically -1 on Math resulted in a 780, and that was out of sixty questions.</p>

12

<p>Yeah, I got an 800 and didn’t get anything wrong.</p>

13

<p>Math -0
reading -2 or -3
writing -0, 9+ essay / -1, 11+ essay.
Usually…
Some are harsher, some are more forgiving.</p>

14

<p>Wouldn’t it be messed up if you get 54/54 on math and still wound up getting below 800?</p>

15

<p>^that wouldn’t happen, thankfully.</p>

16

<p>lol how could every question right result in lower then an 800.</p>

17

<p>yes, you do. I got every question right but omitted one and only got 770. argh</p>

18

<p>Pretty much. It’s reeeeeeally rare to get one wrong and still get an 800, I don’t know if it’s ever happened. If you’re lucky, one wrong will get you as high as a 780.</p>

<p>^The last time it happened that -1=800 was 5/2009, not counting Sunday tests…</p>
