Did I get hosed?

Test Preparation

<p>I know they say that smarter people take the SAT's in months other than november and may, but were the curves on this test particularly harsh? I saw my raw scores recently and was really surprised:</p>

<p>JANUARY SAT 1</p>

<p>CR: 740 (not so much for this one. This one may have been generous)</p>

<p>Number Right: 61, Number Wrong: 6, Number Omitted: 0, Total Number of Questions: 67, Raw Score: 60</p>

<p>Math: 740 (WTH?!?!?!)</p>

<p>Number Right: 51, Number Wrong: 2, Number Omitted: 1, Total Number of Questions: 54, Raw Score: 51</p>

<p>Writing: 660 (Im not so sure...)</p>

<p>Number Right: 42, Number Wrong: 7, Number Omitted: 0, Total Number of Questions: 49, Multiple-choice Raw Score: 40</p>

<p>Why is my math score a 740 when i only missed 2 questions and omitted one. Shouldn't that, at worst, be a 760??</p>

<p>Math is always harsh. Each question can take off up to 30 points in the high numbers. Usually it's around 20 points per question, so your score is reasonable. A 63/64 raw score got me a 780...</p>

<p>Math = 760</p>

<p>Number Right: 52, Number Wrong: 2, Number Omitted: 0, Total Number of Questions: 54, Raw Score: 52</p>

<p>Math is the easiest section, followed by Critical Reading (based on percentiles), so it's a no-brainer that math has the harshest curve.</p>
