<p>unprecedented math curve i suppose</p>
<p>My school (public) took it on Wednesday and we still don’t have our results. </p>
<p>That was definitely the most generous math curve. I looked at some past curves and 33/38 that score would normally yield 67-69.</p>
<p>any clues to the -3,-4 raw CR wednsday</p>
<p>My school got them. I got:</p>
<p>Critical Reading: -4, 72
Math: Omitted 2, -3, 70
Writing: -3, 70</p>
<p>…for a score of 212. I hope Nebraska’s cutoff stays around 206-207 for this year! 
We took form W, by the way.</p>
<p>CR -3, 72
M -1, 79
W -3?,70
222, should be good enough for fla, i just hope we get the scores right after thanksgiving break, usually its like thesecond week of december but scores seem to be coming out pretty early this year</p>
<p>Form W
CR: -1, 80, 99%
M: -5 (1 = no lost points), 68, 95%
W: -3, 70, 98%
SI: 218
Overall: 99%</p>

<p>Harambee, S scored 33/38 on Form W & got a 68 which = 95th%; of the 5 wrong, one had no lost points b/c it wasn’t a mc question…where’s the generosity? What am I missing here?</p>
<p>you say he got 5 wrong? thats 33 right THEN you subtract the number of mc wrong (4) divided by 4 =1, 33-1=32 32/38 is his raw score</p>
<p>@only01 - There was a poster who got a raw score of 33/38 and got a 71, which would normally yield a score of 67-69.</p>

<p>you say he didnt lose points for the one non mc question but then a 33/38 would mean he didnt lose any points for the other four mc questions either lol</p>
<p>Can anyone post the answers to the CR questions involving the astronomy passages? It would be deeply appreciated.</p>
<p>Does anyone know the process for appealing a question?</p>
<p>haha are you talking about the ‘explanation’ controversy by any chance</p>
<p>Well, that question DOES deserve to be taken out if the right answer is no error. Idiomatically, it doesn’t make sense.</p>
<p>^^^^ Agree- can anyone please post the answers for those two questions for the astronomy passage? I had different answers from what was agreed on CC, so I’m feeling a little edgy…</p>
<p>maybe cb will come on cc and see our discussions and change their minds</p>
<p>thank you bluedabudi & Harambee…I understand now!</p>
<p>success! i agree about astronomy passage, and maybe a compilation of raw vs. scaled scores?</p>
<p>I’ve spent the last four hours working on research for and drafting of my petition. It is highly convincing and, by my assessment, definitive in its claim that “for” is appropriate here. I’ve cited over a dozen dictionaries.</p>

<p>Convincing them that “for” could work doesn’t do anything. You have to convince them that “of” is wrong.</p>
