how many questions can you miss to get 1800 on the SAT?

You’re given a “raw score” for each section that is the number of questions you got right minus 1/4 of a point for each question you got wrong. Your raw score is them converted to a score out of 800– I think the exact conversion varies from test to test, depending on how well everyone who takes it does, so that if one test is particularly hard (everyone does worse than the usual average) they can adjust the scoring slightly (I think), but here’s a chart to give you an idea: http://www.collegeboard.com/prod_downloads/highered/ra/sat/sat-raw-scaled.pdf . To get an 1800 would mean about 600 on each section, so if you answered every single question, you could miss about 15 on the math (if you consider the points counted off for wrong answers), 12-ish on the reading, and 8 or 9 on the writing (I’m not sure how the essay score adds in there, and it doesn’t say). Hope this helps!

-well it’s 2400 total

-800 is the highest for each section

-1/4 is taken away for an incorrect answer

-writing part is broken into 400 for essay & 400 for multiple choice

2400-400=2000

2000-1800=200

200/4=50

if you answer all the questions and get no more than 50 wrong you can get at least an 1800 this does not include the essay however…you can also skip questions and not lose any points at all

It depends how the distributing of the questions you get wrong fall, if they are all in the same section or if they are spread out throughout the three sections.

I didn’t answer about half of the questions on the SAT and about half of my answeres were wrong. I got 1400. I was dizzy and SO slow.

It doesn’t really work that way. Scoring is very complicated and there isn’t really a definitive answer to this question. It depends on a lot of things.
