Scoring
The multiple-choice section of the exam accounts for 40% of a student's score. The free-response is worth 60%. Each correctly answered multiple-choice question is worth one point. As of 2011, wrong and omitted questions do not affect the raw score; therefore, guessing is encouraged. For the free-response section, the six short answers are worth 35% of the total grade, and each is graded on a scale of 0 to 4. Finally, the two long essays are each graded on a scale of 0 to 9, totaling 25% of the grade.
While the criteria varies from year to year, receiving a "5" from the ETS usually entails earning around 70% of the total points on the test, or having a raw score of 140.
