<p>Okay sorry, i read through 20 pages of posts and if this is already posted somewhere else, sorry.
What do you guys think the curve for the december sat will be, in respect to October's and the blue book?
I found this test much more difficult than October's, so I was thinking that the curve would be bigger.</p>
<p>I think the general consensus is that math was more difficult than Oct. Compared to the BB, I also feel Saturday's math section was more difficult. -1 = 780/770?</p>
<p>Personally I felt better about CR than I normally did on practice tests. I think it was because I was able to concentrate better having gotten a good night's sleep. The korean mother/nature passages were easy, the navigation was medium, the privacy harder (all IMO, though). I assume normal curve.</p>
<p>Writing was good. There were 1-2 questions that I was unsure of. My experimental was writing, so I'm not sure what section I felt better on. I assume a normal curve here, too.</p>
<p>The March 2008 curve was:</p>
<p>CR: -2 = 780
M: -1 = 770</p>
<p>However, I though that for December, it had slightly easier SC and harder passage questions. I would imagine -2 = 800. Math was also slightly harder, so I imagine -1 = 790.
I was surprised at the difficulty considering the huge amount I practiced for this test compared to March. (when I got a 1570 CR + M combined)</p>
<p>W, I have no idea. But I really hope -1 = 80, (doubtful), or I get a good essay :P</p>
<p>SC was definitely easier, for the first time I may not miss any!
The CR was harder though, definitely. So was math on one section (angle problem).
I actually thought writing (including the essay) was fairly easy, but know nothing about the curve.</p>
<p>if i had 2 writing sections, which one counts? the earlier one or the later one?</p>
<p>Anyone think -1 could be 80 on W MC? </p>
<p>I know it seemed easy, but it always seems easy, even when -1 = 80 :P</p>
<p>Anyone know what this is? Any chance of this being 1500?</p>
<p>M: -2
CR: -5/-6</p>
<p>BTW, I had the first test version w/ Math equating.</p>
<p>i think that would give you a 1500, if not, very close.</p>
<p>Awesome! Thanks! Now I just hope I didn't miss anything else...& I got the 800 in W.</p>
<p>-5/-6 CR = 720ish, and it's very unlikely -2 M = 780, so I highly doubt you got 1500 =/</p>
<p>@lolcats4, what do you think it would be?</p>
<p>I estimate 1470 for you</p>
<p>^That's an awesome score. Definitely be happy with that if I have an 800 in W also!</p>
<p>yeah -5/-6 is like 720-730, and -2 in math prob around 760 (but depends on the curve) so you'll prob get just below 1500</p>
<p>any thoughts on the W curve? I think it always seems easy, so I'm not a good judge of what it'll be. </p>
<p>Did anything think there was more than 2-3 questions that gave them trouble? That might indicate a more generous curve</p>
<p>how DOES the writing curve usually work? like what is -1, -2, and -3 in general out of 80?</p>
<p>^@lolcats4</p>
<p>"did anything think.."?</p>
<p>lol</p>
<p>Umm I had writing experimental so I'm not sure. One of the 35 question sections I felt great about. I could pinpoint the error for virtually every question and give an explicit grammatical reason why that error existed. The other was harder, but not bad.</p>
<p>@ shubham, yeah with writing that that I guess I'm doomed to a 200 :D</p>
<p>:P</p>
<p>anyone know for sure which writing was experimental, earlier or later?</p>
