Actual SAT Subject Test Scales

<p>I don't have the REAL Sat Subject tests book that is sold by the collegeboard. Could anyone possibly put up the scale for Biology from that book? I know it's asking a lot but I would be so grateful. Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>If anyone is kind enough to do this, all I would need is the range for a 700-800.</p>

<p>thats the scale that you will find in just about every book.</p>

<p>Is the scale even accurate? How is a raw score of 76 a 780??!!! I know for sure that the chem scale is generous.</p>

<p>the scale is accurate. the scale for the Biology subject test is much harsher than Chemistry, and I believe Physics as well. I guess there's a higher percentage of kids who do super duper well on the SAT II Bio and make the curve difficult on kids who can't get everything right...</p>

<p>just looked up the chem scale, its not that much more generous...</p>

<p>sry for the confusion but my last post was for chem. The sparknotes scale says like miss 3 is 790. My barrons book says you can miss 10-12 and still be in good shape for 780-800. Which one is more accurate?</p>

<p>I don't think the sparknotes scale is very accurate... it seems like it's the same thing for Chem and Bio, but we know the Chem curve is more generous.</p>

<p>i dont think sparknotes is accurate either, it says you can only miss ONE for an 800, but i think u can miss up to 3-4 .....</p>

<p>actually, the sparknotes chart starts at 80 questions, and there are 85 total questions are the test so...</p>

<p>Those Sparknotes scales are baloney. The curve is 10 questions for Chem and a minimum of 5 questions for Bio.</p>

<p>so whats the real scale?</p>

<p>I'll post it when I reach home.</p>

<p>Why doesnt sparknotes post a physics scale? I used the Kaplan scale for the sparknotes test.. Is the kaplan scale for physics accurate?</p>

<p>naidu90 - can you please post the scales for Chemistry and World History if possible? Thanks!</p>

<p>and BIO too :)</p>
