Are you expecting the Oct SAT curve to be harsh or lenient?

<p>Anyone have any insight into how it was in previous years?</p>

<p>My predictions:
Math: -0 = 800 -1 = 780 (this one’s math seemed easier)
CR: -0 = 800 -1 = 800 -2 = 800 -3= 780 (seemed harder than normal)
Writing: -0 = 800 -1 = 790 (seemed medium)</p>

<p>I hope it isnt that bad.</p>

4

<p>LENIENT!</p>

<p>LENIENT!</p>

<p>LENIENT!</p>

<p>It better be.</p>

5

<p>-1 M better be 790…lol i’m not gonna pray for 800</p>

6

<p>i think 3 incorrect (so 4 points off the maximum with error penalty) will still be a 790. i used that erik’s thing above and it has been 790 for -3 once, and this CR was pretty much brutal.</p>

<p>and i HOPE math -1 is 800, though i doubt it. writing is probably -1 or -0 for 800.</p>

7

<p>idk, a lot of people said math was easy but at the same there were a lot of tricks so it’s POSSIBLE that the curve could be fine for -1</p>

8

<p>Math will be harsh. Critical reading was not that hard, I dare say medium. Writing definitely -0/-1 800.</p>

9

<p>harsh as in 760 for -1?</p>

10

<p>math is almost never -1 for 760. i’d say -1 is definitely AT LEAST 780.</p>

11

<p>I thought the CR was harder than the practice test CR’s that I did. Might just be wishful thinking :(…but here’s to a soft curve.</p>

12

<p>please, for the love of God, tell me -3 in math can still be over 700 on this one (-3 mult choice).</p>

13

<p>yes, it’s definitely over 700.</p>

14

<p>Lets say I miss 2 mc and get a 12 essay.
Can I get an 800?</p>

15

<p>no</p>

<p>to scale your scores yourself</p>

16

<p>I’m confused. The scale doesn’t factor in the essay portion. Or does it?</p>

17

<p>The math was tricky and not as easy as the March SAT I took last year. I got one wrong because I was careless ughhh. But I hope it will be -1 is 800.</p>

<p>The critical reading was brutal. There was so much art history crap, and literary criticism crap. They better give a nice curve.</p>

<p>Writing I am not too sure about. But I think it will be harsh.</p>

<p>@10ninja
yeah it’s possible for an 800. i missed 2 mc and got a 10 on the essay in the june SAT and still got an 800. and i thought this one was harder, somewhat.</p>

<p>writing curve is always harsh. it’s most people’s lowest score for some reason.</p>

19

<p>^I got 12 and -4 on may sat and was at 720…so it could be pretty harsh. This time it looks like -1 or -2 and 12 essay…hoping for 800 but we’ll see.</p>

20

<p>Math: it was easy, but indeed there were tricks that threw many people off of their guards.
Take me for an instance. I got 50/50 and 800 on math level 2. Misread a Q here and I have -1 on freaking SAT I math. So… I personally wish -1 would be 800 but realistically, I’d say 780 or 790 for -1.</p>

<p>CR: people bombed vocabs but passages were easy. So maybe -2/(-3) = 800?</p>

<p>Writing: a bit complicated here, Depending on what subscores you have for essay/MC, scores will vary. Holistically, think “average” for the curve here.</p>
