<p>@fireonice my descriptions of the curve would be as follows:
CR: rough (missed 3 no omits, 760)
Math: Despicable (Missed 2 no omits, 720)(missing one resulted in a 750 for others)
Writing: normal. This one doesn’t vary much. </p>
<p>@ScienceDaddy wow okay thanks</p>
<p>@ScienceDaddy: Accordingly to this scale:</p>
<p>I think I omitted 2 + 2grid ins and let’s suppose I have 1 silly mistake in Math, what would that result in? </p>
<p>For CR, I attempted only 45 questions - assuming 5-7 are wrong, what would that give me?</p>
<p>For Writing, with 9-10 on the essay, and assuming there are 3-5 errors, what would that give me? </p>
<p>The College Board is really changing things up. I think they have to make it easy so that people actually might try on their obvious experimental sections (just a hypothesis). My experimental was an 18 question writing.</p>
<p>THERES A CURVE???</p>
<p>@Hapaz98 they scale scores differently based on the difficulty of the test. Not all SATs are created equal.</p>
<p>@KaranMIT I don’t have an extensive knowledge of the scales, I just know what I got and how many I missed. I highly doubt that December will be as rough as November, as the November one was, truthfully, extremely easy compared to the other SATs that I’ve taken. There’s a tool that I like to mess with sometimes that can be found here: </p>

<p>This guy analyzed various scales over the years and came up with the frequencies with which different scale scores appear for a particular raw score. For instance, with your approximations, it suggests that you should expect 690-730 in math, and lists the percentage odds for each particular score within that range. Note that missing two math questions, as I did in November, SHOULD result in a 760 or 770, and I got stuck with a 720. Don’t put too much faith in this tool. </p>
<p>I think that the December curve would be good
You have only a couple of seniors taking it last minute for the last time
and you have a few adventurous juniors taking it for the first time
because there are not that many people taking it in December, it’s a better curve </p>
<p>usually, the test date with the lesser amount of people have a better curve
I took the test in June (which was a big mistake) because that’s when the most people take the test and it was a horrible curve. </p>

<p>Lol there’s no such pattern. If there were, it would have been noticed by now in CB’s many decades of history. The curve is just based on what they perceive to be the difficulty of the test.</p>
<p>well, people have different opinions on the curves. </p>
<p>@nbfanforever </p>
<p>Opinions, yes, based on the difficulty of the test. If you look at the curves from previous tests, there is no clear pattern. </p>
<p>The curve is not based on how many people take the test, as your earlier comment implies. The curve is based on the difficulty of the test. You did not get a harsher curve just because tons of people took the test on the same day. You got a harsher test because, from CB’s perspective, you got an easier test.</p>
