Yeah, they take a lot of points off on the psat 8/9 just for missing one question, especially on the math. Looking at last year's scale as this years is not available, zero wrong was 720, one wrong was 660. My kid just had a good day on the math where he didn't make any careless errors. Plus the SAT had math that he had never encountered. It's hard to get a trig question correct if you haven't learned trig yet. I think most of what he missed was actual lack of knowledge, not careless errors.
