How many can you get wrong and still get a Q800

I realize that it depends on where you get them wrong, but does anyone know an answer to this.

I have to get an 800, and I am prone to silly mistakes here and there...

roughly speaking you can afford 2-3 mistakes (distributed unevenly towards the end) and still get the Q800. Eliminating the stupid mistakes is the most important step towards getting the perfect score.

i made a mistake in the 4th question and still got the Q800 though

Re: How many can you get wrong and still get a Q800

I'd say 2-3 difficult and scattered. I don't think an 800 is possible with any more mistakes than that.

I guess your percentile score will reflect the mistakes, even though its perfect 800. @aclax dont worry too much about your silly mistakes, just be extra careful in the first 3/4th of your test.
