<p>how bad with that make my overall score?</p>
<p>For the vocab or analogies?</p>
<p>in total does it matter the difference?
probably 10 each</p>
<p>i dont know, that’s kinda bad. I mean, you probably got like a 80-89 just for missing those, but don’t worry. not everybody did that great in verbal</p>
<p>My guess is leaving out 2-3 put you out of the 90s for vocab score and leaving the next 17-18 out put you in the low 70s. Regardless, if you do well in the quantitative and CR sections you can still get high 90s (certainly if you get more than a 780 in the remaining two). </p>
<p>Also, it has always been my *assumption<a href=“which,%20I%20doubt,%20is%20worth%20anything%20much”>/i</a> that vocab is less important than CR or Math. I did fairly well in vocab, but the truth is vocab, on its own, will not help you nearly as much as deliberate reading (CR), as that is the true measure of literacy in english. Math is a whole different story. </p>
<p>That being said, the 20 blank, per se, will not be taken well.</p>
<p>I disagree PrincipalV. Getting 2 or 3 wrong puts you in the high 90s range in the vocab section and 17-8 puts you in the med./high 80s. Also, I’m guessing you got at least some problems wrong so thats less than 40/60 points. You still have a chance of getting 80s depending on the scores of other people who took it.</p>
<p>I left 15 blank and got two or three wrong. That got me to the 89th percentile.</p>
<p>I think having high vocab can really boost your chances espically if the school average on the SAT for vocab is low and most people who applyed got low verbal scores.</p>
<p>@jasony0325 (Those who know PrincipalV will get this) I find it funny how PrincipalV just got back on after a hiatus and you are already disagreeing with him. :D</p>
<p>
Yes, I agree. Do you think, however, that an incredible score on vocab is the same as a incredible score on CR (or math, for that matter, but I am trying to keep quantity out of the picture)? </p>
<p>
I can’t say that I am right, I was trying to make a guess based upon what I know. 2 or 3, you are right, will probably not hurt you so much. There is a score, however, around which a cluster of people will score. Falling below that will hurt you. I assumed that the first cluster would be in the first few, and the next around 10 and 11. </p>
<p>Maybe, missing more than the first 6 puts you out of the 90s, whereas missing 17-18 puts you, at most, somewhere in the 80s. Again, this is dependent upon a few factors.</p>
<p>
I don’t get it.</p>
<p>It’s just that on other threads whenever you would say something people would start to disagree with you and then you guys would end up in this huge fight…</p>
