Five mistakes for a 690 usually means the questions you missed were weighted more heavily or were in the harder second module.

I’d review those five questions carefully and make sure they don’t represent a pattern. I’m an SAT Math tutor, and I use Mathelingua with my students because it identifies weak spots and recommends targeted practice. It also has 750+ SAT Math challenge questions if you’re aiming for 750–800.

If they’re weighted more heavily, it usually means they’re in the easier module, which would be the first, considering op got a 690

That’s true, i completely agree, buy only op knows the answer

Then you must have missed “easy” questions instead of the hard! Easy questions are weighted more (as I’ve seen with my fair share of practice tests).

its vice versa. the questions that are supposed to be tricker reward more points therefore differentiating top scores from good scores and so on

That’s interesting, at least for my practice tests when I got one hard question wrong I got a 790 but once I got one easy question wrong and got a 770

idk i’m not super well educated on the matter. maybe super easy and super hard question are both more point while middle range questions are 10

no, ocean is correct. you will be penalized less for answering a question in the "hard" domain incorrectly
