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.
It depends on how many points each question is worth. If they are worth 1 point, 30, 2 points, 15, etc...
If each question on a 75-question test is worth the same number of points, the total number of points for the entire test would be the number of questions multiplied by the points per question. For example, if each question is worth 1 point, then a 75-question test would be worth 75 points in total.
15 5 point questions and 30 2 point questions.
To determine the number of questions you can get wrong on the SHSAT and still meet the cutoff score for Stuyvesant, you need to know the total number of questions on the exam and the points awarded for each correct answer. If each correct answer is worth 1 point and there are 100 questions on the exam, then the maximum score would be 100 points. To achieve a score of 561, you would need to answer 561 out of 100 questions correctly. Therefore, you can afford to get 39 questions wrong and still meet the cutoff score.
That will depend on the points awarded to each question.

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.
If you took a test with 130 questions on them each question would value approximately 1.3 points per question.
