However, your admissions is not based on the raw score alone (#right/100).
It is calculated into a curve of a xy graph, and i only know 2 people outside of the NYC dept of education that have the 2009 curve. Nationwide in Flushing, and a certain Jet Chaw who teaches there.
That will depend on the points awarded to each question.
You cannot know that. If you are told the total number of points for the test, you know (or count) the number of questions and you are told that each question is worth the same number of points then, and only then, each question is worth (total points/number of questions) points.
5 points, if all questions are being given equal marks.
It depends on how many points each question is worth. If they are worth 1 point, 30, 2 points, 15, etc...
15 5 point questions and 30 2 point questions.
This is a tough question since none of the residents know how to grade a shsat test. the grading is weird and changes every year. I say you might have to get at the maximum 10-15 questions wrong to be offered a seat
If all the questions are worth the same and the whole test is 100 points, then each question is worth 12.5 points
That will depend on the points awarded to each question.
The Specialized High School Admission Test(SHSAT) can only be taken by current eighth graders who reside in New York City to have admission to take classes in one of the nine New York Specialized High Schools. The SHSAT consists of 5 Scrambled Paragraphs which are worth 2 points each, 10 logical reasoning questions, 30 reading comprehension questions(5 reading passages with 6 questions each), and 50 math questions. All questions are multiple choice and there are no penalty for wrong answers.
10 questions normally for books with 19 and under points 20 questions for books worth 20 and over points!
I got into the Bronx High School of Science with a 652.
On a driving test you can only miss 30 points in the state of florida! On the written test you can only miss five questions!

If the test is worth 100 points, each question would be worth approximately 2.86 points.
You can only miss 16 points on a 100 point test in order to get an 84%. If the questions are worth 2 points EACH, you can miss 8. If the questions are worth 4 points each, you can only miss 4 questions.
You have "30" 2 point questions and = 60 points, and "10" 4 point questions which = 40 so 60+40= 100 (check)
5% of the total test score per question.
