Disappointed with your results?

<p>honestly, i can’t understand why people who get 2300+ complain - those are good enough for ivies. it’s understandable if you got a 2240 and you want to retake - i would recommend everyone to retake to get a 2300+.</p>

<p>so i was SUPER ****ed i got 10-11 wrong on writing (EVEN WITH A 12 ON THE ESSAY!) so ended up getting 730 in writing. like wth, i usually got 3-4 wrong in writing in the BB!</p>

<p>and cr, it was 730 which i know could’ve been better.</p>

<p>and math - 760. i know i def got 1 wrong, but if 1 wrong = 760, that’s fudged up. srsly.</p>

22

<p>i got…
550 cr
660 m
650 w</p>

<p>i wanted 700 m and 600 cr</p>

23

<p>dolcevalse, 1 wrong on math is 790. I would know because that’s what I got.</p>

24

<p>yea i dont think 1 wrong is 760.</p>

25

<p>I’m definitely retaking. I got a 2260. I’ve never taken a full practice test before so I know I can do better. What frustrates me is the math. I know I can get an 800 becase I’ve gotten 800 on Math II SATII and 36 on all the math act’s. Essay frustrates me, I didn’t know what kind of essays to expect.
Critical Reading 750
Math 740
Writing 770
Multiple Choice 80 (score range: 20-80)<br>
Essay 8</p>

<p>on the collegeboard website, my essay score doesnt show up, but i still got my math, cr, and writing scores…is that normal??</p>

27

<p>Aznjunior got about the same as you.</p>

<p>740 - Math
740 - Critical Reading
760 - Writing</p>

<p>I thought I had only missed one problem on math. I must have missed something else that was easy… because I went through every problem on here. I’ll just superscore the 800 I already have in Critical Reading with this Math and Writing… 2300. That’s fine with me.</p>

28

<p>760 Math
750 CR
720 Writing</p>

<p>2230 total. Not bad, but I KNOW that I could’ve done better on the Writing section and that irks me.</p>

29

<p>I got a 2310 with 790 CR / 720 M / 800 W (80/12). I would normally not retake except I’m very dissatisfied with my math score (especially because I’m probably majoring in engineering - although this score distribution is making me rethink that). I’m confident I can get 770-800; I got 800s on all three BB tests I took the week before the SAT.</p>

<p>I’m pleased with 2310…I just wish it had been 770/770/770 or something like that.</p>

30

<p>What should I do? It was my first time taking the test and I am disappointed with myself:
750-CR
660-M
730-W
70-MC</p>

<h2>11-Essay</h2>

<p>TOTAL: 2140</p>

<p>What do you think I should do about that math score?</p>

31

<p>Hi crazy. I tied with you and I am totally not retaking! </p>

<p>PS: How can you guys see your essay score??? ICANT :(</p>

32

<p>mcvcm, when you go to CB’s website, don’t go to your scores page the normal way - there should be a link (if you’re logged in) that says, “Your March scores are up” or something like that. Click that.</p>

33

<p>I saw my scores and they look like:</p>

<p>Critical Reading: 670
Math: 790
Writing: 680</p>

<p>That’s all that I can see.</p>

34

<p>Someone just posted a link in the scores thread… try that.</p>

35

<p>It brought me to the same thing as usual. Could the problem be that at the top of my page, it sayss: Your March 2009 score report and essay will be available on April 13, 2009</p>

36

<p>Ah that could be the problem… mine just says “YOUR MARCH SCORES ARE IN!” and then at the bottom it says more info will be available next week.</p>

37

<p>^ Nope, I think both pages are normal, they are just different. It’s just that on the one with ‘‘YOUR MARCH SCORES ARE IN’’, the percentiles are displayed.</p>

38

<p>Yeah mcvcm92, mine says same exact thing and I can’t see my essay score no matter what method I try.</p>

39

<p>Is there a difference between 790 math and 800 math? Because I got 790 and I too usually don’t miss any on that section. And how good/bad is a 740 in CR if I plan on majoring more math/science than the humanities? Is it worth retaking just to try to raise CR and clinch the 800 for math?</p>

40

<p>Can anyone explain to me how the math curve is working? Going through the scores thread I see scores of 800, 790, 780, 760, 740, 720, 710, 700. There’s no way the math curve is that generous…</p>
