Question

Does getting a 2400 on the SAT mean u got EVERY single question correct?

Answer 1

Not necessarily, it is possible to get a few questions - but not many - incorrect and still get a perfect 2400 on the SAT because of the way the SAT works.  The number of questions you can get wrong basically depends on how well other people do.

Answer 2

No, not necessarily.  It's graded on a curve, so it depends on how well other test takers did on the test.  For example, I got 800 on the writing section but I missed one question.  Of course, if you did get all the questions right you will get 2400!

Answer 3

Usually not.  If you do get every question correct, of course you'll get a 2400, but the scores are statistically scaled so that if you miss a couple of questions (the exact number depends on the specific administration) on a section, you might still get an 800.  Typically, math is the toughest curve; if you miss a question there, you'll probably lose the 800.

Answer 4

not necessarily. you can sometimes get 2 questions wrong on the critical reading and still score 800, for writing sometimes you only need to get a 9 on your essay but all multiple choice questions correct, but for math you need to get every question correct.

Answer 5

nope not necessarily--the sat is scored on a curve so you could probably get about three questions worng and get an 800 on a single section
