The older you are the more they penalize you for missed answers is what the scaled value is.

I might be persuaded to take it if I understood what the scoring meant. I don't want to post it if it makes me look super stupid.

This is how the scaled scores should correspond to percentile ranks. It could be off, but I doubt it's too far off.

I think 26 raw at age 35+ is supposed to be 17 scaled.

I think I got 7 raw and 13 scaled... or something.. maybe it was the other way round..

But I had to lie about my age.

7 raw is below 13 scaled.

I also don't think the site saves your age. It just uses it to calculate the appropriate scaled score.

Ugh. Seeing my score I'm disappointed in myself.

I wish I could have taken it like 1-2 months earlier than I did, because then I could have reaped a +1 scaled age adjustment, lol.

 

[CarpCharacin]

Yeah, it just wouldn't let me, since I'm under 16.
(Also...I don't get the chart.... I think I'll do the test again...)

It just shows how raw scores (number of questions correct) correspond to scaled scores, and then any applicable age adjustment (+1 scaled for under 18, -1 for over 35) is applied on top of that.

The test certainly has a fairly high ceiling, because it consists of an entire set of antonyms from a 1980s SAT verbal form, plus 6 GRE items that are all supposed to be harder than the hardest SAT item I think. The pre-1994 SAT verbal had a very high ceiling, and I've heard that antonyms was hard relative to the other item types.
