How many can I omit/get wrong to obtain a 700 in each section?

Tip: Don’t omit - if you can narrow down to even 3 (preferably 2) choices, you have a higher likelihood of doing better by guessing rather than omitting.

And to answer your question:
Math - This is a tough section, not as far as content goes but the curve. More than ~3 wrong and you could be out of the 700s. Aim for an 800 on this; that way, if you miss you’ll at least be in the 700s.

CR - I believe you can miss ~7 and still get at least a 700, 6 to be safe. This is the best section, as far as curve goes, but worst if you look at the content since the questions can be tricky.

Writing - With a 10 essay, I believe you can miss around 4, maybe even 5 and still score in the 700s. The curve fluctuates a bit since I’ve seen 3 wrong + 10 essay be anywhere from a 720 to a 740. This kind of score can generally be achieved if you just say the sentence out loud in your head (lol) and if you generally practice proper grammar in daily writing and conversation.

Hope this helps! Good Luck! :)
