What does it take to score a 2400?

<p>

Frankly, I don’t think you can separate them so distinctly. </p>

<p>I’ve taken BB tests where I’ve literally finished all 3 CR sections in 45 minutes and don’t miss a question. Then other times I miss a CR here and there and BAM, 800 to mid/high-700s. Sometimes the reading questions literally feel like are-you-smarter-than-a-5th-grader questions. Other times they are surprisingly tricky. You’re either on or off, or maybe the test itself is “on or off.” If you can nail 800s in this one every time, then bravo, but from what I’ve seen even the strongest readers sometimes face a passage that baffles them a bit.</p>

<p>Math and Writing are generally consistent for me and for others but as we all know the Math curve can be ridiculous and nobody is invulnerable to making mistakes, and there is a bit of subjectivity that affects the writing score. </p>

<p>I’d generally say that if you’re in the 2300+ range with mid/high-700s in every section, you have a decent enough shot at the 2400. I think this is the majority of the 2400 demographic, really. I have never accounted a HS student who has made the claim that he could definitely score high-2300s every time, much less execute it. And this is coming from a student who knows quite a few over-achievers from his HS over the years.</p>
