December 2007 US History

<p>Pretty Easy?</p>

<p>I did terribly on it. Ouch.</p>

<p>i'm not gonna lie, i thought it was hard too. i skipped 8. are we allowed to discuss it yet? wgat's the curve usually like? does anyone think it'll be lenient this time?</p>

<p>yea...i really think i did horribly on it...and it was my second time too. im screwed</p>

<p>i thought it was a pretty difficult test</p>

<p>don't worry, the curve is insane on a fall-winter test
the curve gets worse on spring/early summer tests</p>

<p>how many can you usually miss to get an 800?</p>

<p>no
it is around 13 points off
keep in mind missed answers are 1.25 off
omits are 1</p>

<p>let's discuss</p>

<p>We will let you know when the embargo against discussion has been lifted.</p>

<p>red remote, are saying that a raw score of 77 is an 800?</p>

<p>remote is correct in saying the curve is over 8, but whether it is 13 or not, who knows. The curve decreases as the months tick by though.
Highest curves-october, Lowest Curves-June
it will be 75-80 this month. I suspect it will be closer to 75, from what i've heard about the difficulty (A few extremely intelligent friends of mine took it today and said they had trouble).</p>

<p>How sure are you guys about the curves/month thing? I am feeling terrible (literally omitted around 20), but I was pretty confident about the questions I did answer.</p>

<p>I took it today, and omitted 11.
I'm a very cautious guesser, and I second guess myself often.</p>

<p>I got two wrong on Math I, and omitted another...</p>

<p>I hope I do well on both.</p>

<p>when do scores come out?</p>

<p>scores will probably come out on the 19th or 20th. That would be great if the curve is at 75! I'm only aiming for 750+.</p>

<p>Converse!!!</p>

<p>What area did Arthur Thayer Mahan (I think that was it) write about? That was like the only question about a specific person where I absolutely did not recognize the name</p>

<p>ithink it was something about naval power</p>

<p>yea the naval power thing</p>
