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

<p>Based on that chart, 3 incorrect has been the minimum curve for an 800 in CR? Correct me if I’m mistaken… I know they do -1.25, but -3.75 rounds to -3.</p>

22

<p>what do u guys think a predictable range would be for the amount of questions you could miss on the math to get at least a 600? lol i was kinda aiming for that this year.</p>

23

<p>If you didnt answer 15 questions or answered 11 wrong you should have 600 in Math.</p>

24

<p>i’m praying for a lenient writing curve. I don’t think I got any MC wrong, but I think I could only potentially score a maximum of about a 10 or 9 on the essay if I’m lucky. And that’s a big if, since my examples sucked.</p>

25

<p>how about predictable ranges for getting a 700 in writing and reading? lol sorry dont mean to be a nuisance, i just wanna try and gauge my score</p>

26

<p>I think it’s like 57 to 59 raw score in CR. In writing I dont know, it’s divided between essay and MC.</p>

27

<p>Thanks for assuaging some of my fears guys! This is my last chance so I’m super nervous.</p>

28

<p>@hmmmmmmm</p>

<p>I also got a 12 with -4 MC on the May SAT, but got a 740 O.o…discrepancies much?</p>

29

<p>^I rechecked and I actually missed 5. Makes sense now haha.</p>

<p>Can anyone make a prediction on what -2 and 12 essay will be this time?</p>

<p>You’re going to hate me.</p>

<p>-7 with a 12 essay – 730</p>

31

<p>any chance for -2 and 12 essay to be a 780?</p>

32

<p>you might get 800</p>

33

<p>@onhcetum</p>

<p>:O, aww, the May SAT curve wasn’t too lenient then =/. I hope this October one ended up better >.></p>

34

<p>what would a -1 with a 10 essay be for writing?</p>

35

<p>annayism, that’s a pretty high 700 or even 800 if you’re lucky</p>

36

<p>@ nerdess</p>

<p>thanks! i really hope i am that lucky :P</p>

37

<p>yes best wishes for all of us
but again
collegeboard is seriously SO inconsistent with the curves, so don’t rely on it
well my friend got 9 on the essay but perfect on the MC and she got 800
that was like a Nov 2008, so different test, but i’m just trying relate :)</p>

38

<p>On the March SAT, I had -0 and a 9 essay, and still got an 800. So I’m guessing one doesn’t need a “perfect” essay score to do well in the writing section?</p>

39

<p>Definitely not. The MC section accounts for the majority of the writing score.</p>

<p>What would -3 and 11 essay give?
-4 and 10?</p>
