<p>Keep this going. This is based off of discussions on this forum and historic curves.</p>

<p>Also, just so all future posters know, this is not a guarantee, just an educated estimate from past tests and previous threads on this topic. Don’t argue too much about the actual score conversions because they are probably +/- 10 points, instead just use this as an estimate of where you stand. </p>

<p>Basically, don’t argue with the above list. Just know that it isn’t perfect.</p>

3

<p>Yes, this seems about right. I was getting a bit tired predicting people’s scores lol.</p>

4

<p>Same here. Let’s just have people refer to this thread.</p>

<p>Also, if you don’t agree with my predictions, feel free to post your own idea of what the curves will be.</p>

5

<p>how do the omits play into these? like a 55.5 raw score</p>

6

<p>I agree with the curves posted. Although I do wish that -4 (because I believe I may have gotten 3 wrong, resulting in an additional penalty) would be 780 rather than 770, but that is wishful thinking. The CR wasn’t even that difficult.</p>

7

<p>I think your predictions are fine. Mine were just off +/-10 points so no biggie.</p>

8

<p>Also, just a general question.
How are non-whole numbers treated? Such as a raw score of 53.5 or whatever. Does it count as 54 or 53?</p>

9

<p>It should make more sense now. I adjusted the curves a bit to account for raw scores rather than number wrong.</p>

10

<p>I believe normal rounding rules apply (.5 and above). </p>

<p>So technically a couple of wrong questions could have the same yield as omitting them.</p>

11

<p>would an 80 W MC and a 10 essay be an 800? what about an 80 with a 9? with an 8?</p>

12

<p>^It’s the other way around. 49 and a 10 could be an 800.</p>

13

<p>yeah i meant 49. what would a 49 and an 8 or a 9 be</p>

14

<p>Probably mid to high 700s. Not really sure. I have never gotten an essay below a 10 before so I’m not really sure about the grading below that.</p>

15

<p>past scales indicate a 9 and 49 is usually an 800, 8 is a 780 or 790</p>

16

<p>Then it should be in that zone. Writing wasn’t particularly difficult or easy.</p>

17

<p>can you extend the list for the kids who get in the 600s in CR. I would be glad help but i have no clue what i would be talking about, so ill just be throwing out random numbers</p>

18

<p>CR curve seems too generous, but heres to hoping it comes true!</p>

19

<p>I agree with almost everything here. The only change I might make is that I think a 48 W has a decent shot of getting a 80.</p>

<p>For reference, here are past curves: <a href=“http://www.erikthered.com/tutor/SAT-Released-Test-Curves.pdf[/url]”>http://www.erikthered.com/tutor/SAT-Released-Test-Curves.pdf&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

<p>would anyone happen to know how the curves look with the essay score factored in?
What’s the shot of having a 800 with -1 and a 9 or 10 essay?</p>
