Countdown to June 2010 SAT Scores/Results Thread

<p>My predictions:
Math: 800 (hopefully, I didn’t mess up)
Reading: 790(800?) (-1 so far)
Writing: 750 (-2 assuming “intent about” is wrong and 10/11 essay)</p>

<p>@Ethereal</p>

<p>-1 on CR is always an 800.</p>

<p>Oh nice.
Unlike most of you, I’m most worried about the writing curve.</p>

<p>5 am est? So 2 am pst?</p>

<p>Ethereality - I’m just like you, my only worries are about the writing curve (well, excluding if I made a careless/bubbling error on math). I’ve looked up past curves, and -1 w/ 10 essay is sometimes an 800, -1 w/ 11 essay is always 800, and -2 w/ 12 essay and basically always 800 but not as often as the -1 w/ 11 is. And “intent about” was an error, what did you put for it? And I remember you disputing some of the CR answers if I’m not mistaken.</p>

<p>NewAccount - Don’t we all? :). But yes, I’m going for The Score if you will.</p>

<p>Oh and I’m at -1 on writing, so I’m really looking for that 11+ essay</p>

<p>Good luck to everyone waiting for scores =)!</p>

<p>And just an interesting note, I think that Harry Potter is the best SAT vocab resource ever (well not really, but close). I was reading the second one today, and in a span of 7 pages I saw the two words that gave me the most trouble on the two SAT’s I’ve taken: dregs and apoplectic. On the March SAT, I missed one vocab because I chose dregs instead of pantheon (didn’t know dregs meant a “lower” group while pantheon means “the best” group). Thankfully, I got apoplectic right without ever seeing it before.</p>

<p>I’m not hoping that my scores are going to be too high…will probably retake…but I’m curious to see how they’re gonna turn out :)</p>

<p>Silenceizsik - I put “intent about” was not an error, so that puts me at minus two. And yes I debated some CR questions, and it turns out the only one I got wrong is perhaps the easiest one; I put something about “miscalculations”… But anyway, you’re one step ahead of me with only one wrong on writing - Good luck!</p>

<p>^ Oh, that sucks! But we’re basically in the same situation still . I just wished I was at -0 so I could have an 800 with a 10. You hoping for a 12 is almost the same as me hoping for an 11, both are rare :)</p>

<p>Haha, I’m looking forward to hearing your scores when you get them.</p>

<p>Ah the anxiety is painful! But my biggest fear is of making an unanticipated error on math and opening my scores online and seeing a 770 or 780 for math… I’m pretty confident with CR, I’m at -1 and don’t expect any careless errors there. For some reason, I am convinced I got a 10 or worse essay. Idk why bc I last time I thought I had gotten an 8 or 9, like it was really bad, and miraculously ended up with an 11. So subjective. Only 100 hours left!!</p>

<p>^Even if it is a 770 or 780, that is still the top 99-98 percentile.</p>

<p>Yes but it’s not a 2400 :)</p>

<p>Personally I would rather NOT anticipate a 2400… that way if I didn’t get one I wouldn’t be disappointed :slight_smile: In fact, if somehow I did end up with one, I wouldn’t even know how to react…</p>

<p>^ Exactly what I said earlier, which is why I’m not anticipating one at all. I won’t deny that getting one was my goal going into the test, but I am anticipating at least -1 on math and a 10 or lower essay, which would leave me with a 770-790 W.</p>

<p>And yes, if I end up with one… I don’t think I’d be sane enough to post</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Lol, neither would I :D</p>

<p>^ Haha do you still have a chance for one? And you’ve been off the threads for a few days, nice to see you back :)</p>
