Curve for JAN 08

<p>@plisk10: I got 3 wrong and omitted 5 questions, and got 1-2 wrong on the Short Answer and ended up with a 680 on the December 2007 SAT. I don't think you can get over a 700 with 6 wrong and omits.</p>

<p>do you think you can get over 700 with ~4 wrong (2 were gridin) and 2 omits</p>

<p>and it has happened before, my friend got an 800 on SAT math with 2 wrong.</p>

<p>I officially hate math so much that it has a good curve(illogical, I know). Believe me, I did not freak out during the test, and was very relaxed, since I'd take 5 full-timed BB practice tests before. However, the math sections (all of them!) were MUCH harder than the practice tests, unlike reading and writing, which were pretty similar.</p>

<p>Math HAS to have a good curve...</p>

<p>Is Jan test just historically harder with a better curve?</p>

<p>I could swear, none of the math questions in BB was as hard as the ones on the test today (though I still think I did well). Anyone thought the CR as harder than usual as well? It wasn't too terrible, but I still felt CR today was just harder than the ones in BB(especially towards the end...) WR was average; Easy essay topic, slightly harder MC.</p>

<p>Please predict my score:
CR: about 10-12 wrong
Writing: about 6-10 wrong (9-10 essay)
math: 3-4 wrong
no skip can I get a score range around 50 points? thanks</p>

<p>god...i hope math has a good curve. like flux_capacitor i wish -2 is still 800.=/</p>

<p>Oh, I wish math has a good curve. I may have made a mistake in the grid-ins and I hope the rest is correct. It's the only section I am really proud of..... and CR is the opposite (for me). Bombed it and.... did veeery bad. If it has a good curve, I may be saved a little. I just wish I could say like some of you: CR was easy for me <em>daydreams</em> I'm an International student and I totally hate it! XD</p>

<p>..emm... I thought so... Easy CR = Horrible Curve, which equals out the significant score increase.. Damn CB</p>

Yeah...I hated the math. I mean, I've never even seen a question where the answer was "not enough information". What was that???

<p>Yay, one raw point for me.</p>

<p>By the way, I have totally fried my brains today because of the SAT.</p>

<p>Critical reading 10-12 wrong (570-610?)
Writing 6 - 10 wrong (Big Difference) 620-720
Math 3-4 wrong 730-750</p>

<p>IMO:</p>

<p>The CR curve will be so bad, that a -5 would put you in the high 600s, or low 700s (like 700-720).</p>

<p>The Math curve is probably very generous. I think even with -7, you could pull off a low 700.</p>

<p>Writing should be about -5 w/essay 10~12 to get like a 700+</p>

<p>why would CR be so bad? it was difficult so wouldn't the curve be generous?</p>

<p>that's what i thought too, spazattack. In my opinion, just for the poem translation passage, the curve for CR should be typical if not generous. I've done 7/8 tests from BB, and I didn't think any of thoes tests was harder than the Jan test (again, mostly for that particular passage).</p>

<p>whats the normal scale and how much does it ususally deviate?</p>

<p>SunPenguin and Spaz, I completely agree with you about the poem passage (if it weren't for this, I'd be almost certain I got a 750+), but I'm not expecting a generous curve JUST because of that one passage. I certainly hope so, but I don't expect it.</p>

<p>yea i thought the CR was hardest, like always. I think I overestimated/overanalyzed the sentence completion section...>-2 x[
I really hope they give a generous curve pllzzzzzz =/</p>

<p>The math section can be understandably hard for some but not impossible. (I've been doing Mu Alpha Theta for 5 years and billions of practice questions so I've pretty much seen every question type on the SAT math...) Writing I got a bunch of Es on the ID errors in a row so that freaked me out.</p>

<p>yeah, you got your point, kowloon. But still, that one passage makes a "huge" difference (even you said yourself, you would have been sure to get 750+ w/o it), so i still think that passage balances the whole section more towards the hard side (as opposed to the more typical difficulty, shown by the rest of the section).</p>

<p>^let's pray you're right :)</p>

<p>math usually have the worst curve. i wouldn't expect to have 700+ when i have either omit/wrong more than 6questions</p>

<p>Writing was difficult for me. Probably because my brain was going numb but there were 3 questions in a row where I thought it was no error, but then I was like, "Nahhh... theres got to be something awkward here" and changed them. :(((</p>
