800 Quant on GRE

[robocop1998]

I have a question for those who have already taken the GRE. In order to get 800 on quant, do you need a perfect raw score or you can afford to miss some? If so, what is the maximum number of questions that you can get wrong? Thanks!

Great question, and, without access to the scoring system, one that I think is still up for debate. I'm a relative neophyte to the forums, but having checked around, I know it has been possible to get 5 wrong and still receive an 800. Here's the example I recall: urch.com/forums/just-finished-my-gre/94691-1600-shell-shocked-4.html#post626980 .

I just did an exam on Power Prep and got 7 wrong in quant and got 780. So I agree with the poster, getting 4-5 wrong on quant section will prolly still give you 800.

I used to get a score of 800 in poweprep with 3-4 incorrect answers and scored 780 on the big day, but I know I didn't do well in my quant section. So yes, you can get 800 after getting few questions wrong.

i just looked at my diagnostic. you can get a lot wrong and still get an 800
im not sure of the legalities of posting the diagnostic report but i got more than 5 wrong on the test and maxed the quant. good luck
