hi,can someone plz tell me the difference between the raw score and the real score.

I've never head of this before, but MAYBE the raw score is the one you get before the whole test takers pool is curved. After the scores are curved, then that's your real score??? 😕 😕

I really don't know, I'm just babling here 😕 😕

but don't worry, you ony get to know your real reported score, no other number is released.
 
Well, raw score and real score are probably the same things. They are the actual number of items out of 100 that you get correct.

The SCALED score is the score that you see on your test results sheet and the score that would be reported to programs.

You'll never see your raw score (or your real score), but you'll come to know your scaled score fairly well! 😀
 
And I suppose that people might refer to their scaled score as their "real score". That would be acceptable, but the raw score is ALWAYS the number/100 prior to being converted to any type of curve.
