[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks for writing but you've got this the wrong way around. when no one replied I did a lot of searching and found out the ISEE penalizes for incorrect answers with 1/4 point deduction, but the SSAT does not.

The SSAT is over 2 hours long, the ISEE is shorter. The SSAT has more quantitative questions.[/quote]

Hi. It can be a bit confusing as some of the sites don't really word it very well, but I think you have it flipped around as the SSAT is the one that punishes with a 1/4 point deduction, not the ISEE.

I just double-checked a few sites myself and they confirm it is the SSAT that penalizes 1/4 point.

[i]Scoring on the ISEE and SSAT
The biggest scoring difference between the ISEE and SSAT is that while it’s beneficial for you to guess when you don’t know the answer on the ISEE, the SSAT takes 1/4 point off for every incorrect answer. That means that not only does an incorrect answer not add to your overall score, but it also subtracts. This doesn’t have to be scary– it just means your tactic for answering questions you’re not sure about has to be a little different. Check out more information about scoring on the SSAT.

The ISEE doesn’t subtract points for incorrect answers; they simply don’t add to your overall score.[/i]

Penalty for Wrong Answers?

SSAT -- yes, you lose 1/4 of a point for incorrect answers
ISEE -- no, you do not lose points for incorrect answers[/i][/quote]
