<p>Hi everyone,</p>
<p>I got 760 in the Math section of SAT but I just had 1 question wrong. Can that be possible or the SAT team made a mistake?</p>
<p>yup. that’s why the sat has 1500 average. go figure</p>
<p>It’s usually not this bad, usually 1- is a 780ish, but no, there was no mistake, this was a really bad curve…</p>
<p>Thanks guys! I also think this was a really bad curve.</p>
<p>This is a first. The SAT has never had a Math section before January 2012 where -1 = 760 on a QAS month. All of the previous times it has had a Math section that harsh have been on non-QAS months.</p>
<p>^^ This is true, I just checked the curves chart.</p>
<p>I must admit though, I understand why it is so, as I don’t think there was a single “real level 5” question in the entire test, you know, the type where sometimes you have to go to CC to find the answer for.</p>
<p>^ I actually wish I had a test like this one. When I took the SAT, I had a more difficult Math section where -1 = 790. I would much rather have had a very easy Math section where -1 = 760 than a more difficult one where -1 = 790.</p>
<p>Wow, must’ve been a really easy SAT math.</p>
<p>I disagree ACTTester. For me, the SAT math doesn’t get so difficult that I would prefer an easier section overall.</p>
<p>Yup I think it’s a matter of how many silly mistakes you make / how consistently you perform. If you don’t make silly mistakes, an easy math section is an easy 800.</p>
<p>
I’m not saying the SAT Math section is difficult. However, if you’re aiming for a perfect score and not someone that makes careless errors, I think you would agree with me that you would prefer a Math section where -1 = 760 to one where -1 = 790, just because however much easier the section is, the closer you are to a perfect score.</p>
<p>
Exactly my point.</p>
<p>Dang -1 760?? And you guys think there were few level 5 questions. </p>
<p>Feels liks a missed oppertunity. Maybe I shoulde have taken it in January haha.
I agree with the others on that I would rather take a easy test with harsh curve
just because it sets that high confidence throughout the test. Tough test kind
of demoralizes you.</p>
