<p>680, I believe. On mine from May, I had 60mc and an 8 essay = 590.</p>
<p>How do you figure that number?</p>
<p>and what are your goals for the November sitting?</p>
<p>From the BB, lol. </p>
<p>I want a 2000+! Butttt, it doesn’t hurt to want lol.</p>
<p>You’re right. It hurts to want and not get! ha</p>
<ul>
<li>8 more days *</li>
</ul>
<p>I did some work on the essay today. I really need to work more on the mc though. Only a week of studying left, gotta do it.</p>
<p>@Marie, Writing was 690. The first section of writing actually went fine. But I was tired by the end of the test for section 10 and totally bombed it (5+ mistakes)! O_O</p>
<p>I was so stupid the last time I took the SAT with regards to preparation. Admittedly, I had some big things coming up the following week (APs and EC stuff) but it was just ridiculous.</p>
<p>Well, as of tomorrow, I’ll be kicking it up a few notches! Gonna start working on all 3 sections and take practice tests! Goodbye sleep and hello dark under-eye circles! :)</p>
<p>690 on Writing is still pretty good! When I took my first SAT back in May, I did zero studying. I didn’t even know what sections were going to be on it, lol.</p>
<p>anyone can explain me what are raw scores and how SAT scores are computed??? i visited collegeboard website but couldnot understand it!! i just took 2 practice tests and got the raw scores and i want it scored upon 2400!!</p>
<p>Every question you get right = +1
Every question you get wrong = -.25(except on math fill-ins)
Every question you leave blank = 0
You won’t be able to calculate the essay… </p>
<p>Example: Math(out of 54)
There are 44MC and 10 fill-ins.</p>
<p>Hypothetically let’s say you got 40MC right, and 4 wrong. No omits. You would get +40, and -.25x4=-1 so your raw score would be 39 for the MC.
Then there are 10 fill-ins; let’s say you got 8 right and 2 wrong. That’s +8 but -nothing because there is no penalty for wrong answers on the fill-ings.
39+8=(47) is your raw score.</p>
<p>You can then enter the 47 raw score into a chart and see your score out of 800. If the test you took was a real SAT that was given, you may be able to find the curve on that particular test and know the exact score you would have gotten. If it was a made up test by Kaplan or Princeton Review, then you can get a general idea of your score, but it won’t be exact.</p>

<p>thankx a lot reckie</p>
<p>Hurricane Sandy! I expect no school Monday / Tuesday, and maybe even Wednesday.</p>
<p>LOTS of studying to be done.</p>
<p>Woah! It’s just been windy like crazy here from Sandy. </p>
<p>Have you seen an improvement in your Math yet or anything else? I have barely seen one in mine and I’m getting pretty discouraged… :(</p>
<p>Honestly, I haven’t even started studying for it. I’m going full out writing this week, and then I’ll have 30 days for math.</p>
<p>If it makes any correlation, I’ve been studying for writing and it keeps going down!</p>
<p>1 Week. Main focus is writing! Need to MAKE SURE I ATLEAST get a 760 on both Math and Writing. Critical Reading has been fluctuating for me from 610-700. Goal: Math- 780 Writing- 760 Critical Reading- 680. Also, 1 question. Will this be the thread where everyone goes over answers after the test? Let the studying being NOW!</p>
<p>I don’t understand people who can get 760’s on math…</p>
<p>What did you use to study for writing? That’s what I’m doing as well. </p>
<p>This probably won’t be the answers thread, but you’re free to talk about whatever you want here. Someone will make one when the date gets closer.</p>
<p>What don’t you understand about people getting 760’s?</p>
<p>Some of the questions are just ridiculous… and I can’t get over a 640 on any practice test. What book did you use to study math?</p>
<p>@Adeetz,
“Will this be the thread where everyone goes over answers after the test?”
No, there will be specific threads for each section of the the Nov. SAT.
Wow, a 760 on Math and Writing would be awesome! Good luck to ya on that!</p>
<p>@Reckie,
My Math hasn’t hardly improved, my CR has increased with no prep, and my Writing is dropping a tad…</p>
