<p>What is the curve generally like for chemistry, math 2 and biology subject tests. I am aware that the curve is really good for math.</p>
<p>Math- amazing curve. Unless it’s math 1.
Bio- not so good, plus random questions. 800 is possible, but more difficult b/c of higher expectations…?
Chem- not so sure, I don’t think the curve will be really high, but then again, nothing like Bio or US history. I’m not sure though, don’t take my word for it.</p>
<p>Math 2: Pretty good curve like -6=800
Bio: Harsh -1/2=800
Chem: Pretty Decent -5=800</p>
<p>Yeah, the curves are actually better than that I’m pretty sure. Bio you can get 5 wrong and get an 800, or so I heard. And with math, I got more than 6 wrong plus skipped some and still got a 790 on the CB test.</p>
<p>chem - out of 85, raw score can be 82 and u get 800. 72 for 750. 61 for 700.</p>
<p>bio - out of 80, raw score can be 77 and u get 800. 70 for 750. 61 for 700.</p>
<p>math II - out of 50, raw score can be 44 and u get 800. 39 for 750. 35 for 700.</p>
<p>raw score = (number correct) - (0.25 * number wrong) rounded to nearest whole number</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Ah really? I got a raw score of 44 on Math II and got 790…meaning 5 wrong. I guess that sucks for me lol. Bad testing date :/</p>
<p>Well this was a practice test for CB. So it might have been easier.</p>
<p>Whoa: Bio curve sucks more than I thought it did. lol Actually, that’s the curve out of Barron’s isn’t it? So again, Idk what the curve really is.</p>
<p>Do you know what the curve for US history is?</p>
<p>Thanks guys. Is the June test date usually bad for curves? What about October?</p>
<p>The curves are the same I think.</p>
<p>I thought chem was like -8 800, -5 800 would really stink for me since i usually get -8s and i thought that was 800</p>
<p>(atleast thats what my PR book has it)</p>
<p>i took it from the college board guide to all subject tests</p>
<p>oh dang…that seems tough 82/85 considering the reallly hard CE section.</p>
<p>82/85 is about as harsh as it gets. 80/85 is probably more accurate for the average test date.</p>
<p>How are these curves determined, because I saw the percentiles one time and the percentiles =/ curves for each test…like the percentiles are different for a 750 on chem than for a 750 on math II.</p>
<p>I’m stunned… I definitely thought -5 was the Bio 800 range. But apparently, it’s like -2 or skip 3 and get 100%. Sucky… I don’t even feel like studying anymore as there’s probably a cap on what I can get.</p>
<p>^yea same here…i dont know why math is -6 when its only 50 questions and chem is -5 when its 85 questions.</p>
