<p>Does anyone know if the Kalpan chemistry practice tests are accurate?? The highest raw score on their “raw score convert to scale score chart” is 90 and there are only 85 questions…</p>
<p>Hmm, <em>checks Kaplan book</em>. This scale seems to be wildy inaccurate. On each practice test there are only 85 questions indeed. The curve is 10 questions I believe, but the top amount you can get right is always 85, or so I’ve been told.</p>
<p>Sounds fishy to me.</p>
<p>my friend said that -2 max for an 800. is this accurate?</p>
<p>No! definitely not!</p>
<p>also on the kaplan book, the scale is on 90. the perfect RAW is 90 but there are 85 questions. How does that work? Also does anyone know how the True and False questions are graded. Like you get the first part right but the second wrong. Will they give half a point?</p>
<p>no, you don’t get half points. either you get it or you don’t</p>
<p>i don’t understand kaplan a lot though. I didn’t like them after I took an SAT class w/ them and my teacher was a freakin artist.</p>
<p>You can get -10 raw points on Chem and still get an 800.</p>
<p>that seems much more reasonable. but then again, my friend attended the study camp for Chem Olympiad so he’s like a chem genius.</p>
