December 2010 SAT - General - Curves, Versions, DH

<p>Pretty disappointed with this if it’s the same as March’s, had been doing fantastic in bluebook papers. Just a real shame the curve is so harsh and that there were a few “curveball” questions for me.</p>

<p>I’m most probably going to have to retake in January if there’s any room at the test centre, fingers crossed the next test is a bit more lenient or like thindust said that they’ll generate a new curve for this sitting .</p>

<p>Hopefully there is someone here who took the March 2010 test and is willing to help me out/give me a curve!
BB says the range would be 720-800, but I heard the curves were harsh in March.</p>

<p>If this is true, ■■■.
Is it just the CR curve that is harsh? Or the other two as well?</p>

<p>I took the march test and missed 6 and got an 8 essay for a score of 650; not sure what your’s would be but maybe that helps.</p>

<p>Supposedly the other two sections had quite bad curves as well, can’t remember exactly so you might have to search for the others</p>

<p>I didn’t even think CR was that easy…UGH. And i made errors on lvl 1 questions, ■■■.</p>

<p>wow that sucks. i got -3 for CR and now i’m going to get 740.</p>

<p>mohanad, dh stands for a book called “Direct Hits”.
I’m looking into buying a copy.</p>

<p>Wasn’t the curve for International CR this:</p>

<p>800 -0
800 -1
800 -2
770 -3
740 -4</p>

<p>and so on?</p>

<p>Which one should I be getting?
I’d love to get both, but I’m not sure I have the moneyz to get it right now.</p>

<p>@ sakata if you go to the March 2010 SAT thread <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/sat-preparation/882644-consolidated-march-2010-sat-full-score-conversion-chart-3.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/sat-preparation/882644-consolidated-march-2010-sat-full-score-conversion-chart-3.html&lt;/a&gt; there are lots of people complaining that they got 740 for CR for a -3. </p>

<p>i hope that doesn’t happen for us ):</p>

<p>No, I think a -2 was a 780. And a -3 is a 740, like gkgh123 said
For math, I THINK -1 = 770 … I don’t know what the standard math curve is.</p>

<p>Yeah, found ominous stuff like:</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>yup -1 was 800, -2 780, -3 740 from what I know, for CR… the stupid 40 point jump from -2 to -3 sucks ):</p>

<p>Egalitarian wasn’t the answer to a SC, it was part of the multi choice that included snobbish</p>

<p>**** that is ****ing messed up
im not gonna break the 700’s for CR… crap</p>

<p>more bad news coming - curve is predetermined. F u c k ing hell.</p>

<p>^You are right. The above lists include Sentence Completion answers and Critical Reading answers. Remember, the lists are preliminary. Our compilations are still not complete.</p>

<p>Are you kidding me? AHHH. Let’s compile what we know so far from the March threads:</p>

<p>Math:
800 -0
770 -1
720 -3</p>

<p>Reading:
800 -0
800 -1
780 -2
740 -3
720 -4</p>

<p>-6 710 (doesn’t make sense)</p>

<p>anyway bye bye 700 :(</p>
