<p>I'm realllly hoping for a lenient CR curve. I took it in November and I knew exactly how well I did but this time I have no idea. I'm thinking -9 or so on reading :/ I was aiming for a 700+. Is that completely out of the question?</p>
<p>ugh
yea
i need a more leninent CR curve
CR is my worst
:(</p>
<p>hey can someone send me the link where they have the question discussion forums for this past March SAT??..thanks!</p>
<p>coming from someone who took both the January and March exams, I have to say that the math section on the March one was 2 times more difficult. Whoever said that the curve for math will be -1=760 is wrongly mistaken. On the January SAT it was -1=790. So i think it will probably be the same type of thing. The math questions were so ambiguous and there are so much controversy over them; nothing of which resulted from January's test. I also consistently do much better on math than critical reading but on this test it might be the opposite.</p>
<p>That would be awesome if -1 = 800 on this one to cover for any stupid error i may have made.</p>
<p>Haha that would be pretty sweet. </p>
<p>Or maybe when they realize that like 4 people got the function one right they will just discount it. I seem to remember them just invalidating questions before.</p>
<p>800 here i come!</p>
<p>How well have previous CC threads done in predicting the standard scores for various numbers of items wrong?</p>
<p>I didn't find the CR passages that difficult, but the sentence completions seemed harder than usual to me. I don't study vocab, though, so I may be alone here.</p>
<p>sidenote: holy cow I think I actually got the f(ab) question right. I spent so long thinking about it.</p>
<p>How is it fair for them to invalidate a question? If anything, they should curve it. If a question is so hard that only a few people get it, they should be rewarded...</p>
<p>And also, are you sure people thought the f(ab) question was hard? I actually laughed out loud when I saw it, I thought it was so easy. It took me under 1 second. I know kids in low math classes in my school that also told me it was absurdly easy. Who doesn't recognize 16 as 4*4?</p>
<p>Questions are only "invalidated" if they are found to be actually wrong as to what was designated as the correct answer choice. And that almost never happens. (I think it last happened on the PSAT, a year or two ago.) There have been at least two instances I have heard of when a math question that was thought to have only one correct answer choice was actually found to have two correct answer choices (one for a general case, and the other for a special case, as the problem was stated). When that happens, both answer choices are counted as correct for all test-takers, so a test-taker who marks either of those answer choices is counted as having a correct answer on that item. </p>

<p>@Bob.Dylan.
yeah, it's laughably easy once you realize what it's really asking. but it took me a while to understand it, so i figure others were also thrown off.</p>
<p>Anybody want to estimate 2 omits and 4-5 wrong on CR?
And 1 wrong on Math?</p>
<p>Bob.Dylan., from the posts I've seen you make in the past 24 hours you come off as incredibly pretentious... yes, there were many people who didn't get that f(ab) problem. I was one of those people; math is my weak point and I really couldn't interpret the problem.</p>
<p>Just because you did the problem in "under a second" (lol) doesn't mean that everyone found it to be as laughably easy as you apparently did.</p>
<p>I don't know, it just really seems to me that if a question were to be thrown out, it wouldn't be that one. I don't know if I said this before, but some of my friends in low math classes easily got it.</p>
<p>I'm in calc and that f(ab) problem took quit a bit of thinking... I've grateful that i got it right. </p>
<p>grrrr I just wanna see my scores already!!!!!</p>
<p>Maybe I thought it was easy because of the way I think...I've always found things like logarithms to be easy while kids who find logarithms hard do better than me in other aspects of math. I found that question to be exactly like a logarithm.</p>
<p>I don't understand how the math curve is SOOO strict when obviously it's soo much easier to make little mistakes and the problems take longer to do</p>
<p>and yet the critical reading is not as strenuous and you can still get an 800 by missing two!! that does not make sense at all</p>
<p>if anything -2 on math should be 800 and -0 on reading 800...
and i always have difficulty with the time limit in math but i always finish reading with alot of time left</p>
<p>It depends on the person...for me, I finish every math section in like ten minutes. A harsh curve on math makes more sense because there is one and only answer...you did it wrong, or you did it right.</p>
<p>Critical reading on the other hand, you can get a wrong answer simply by interpreting it differently, which is accounted for by the -2.</p>
<p>well i always think the cr and writing sections are more straightforward
math is a freaking iq test</p>
<p>Math is not an iq test at all. It's a test of how many mistakes you make, on average, in a 25 minute 7th grade level math quiz.</p>
