Does this score sound right to you?

Test Preparation

<p>I took the May 5th SAT and totally bombed them (1660). I don't mean to sound like some kind of person who wants to blame the Collegeboard on my bad score (I probably do sound like it, though), but I just want to make sure that they didn't make some kind of error and that this is really my score.</p>

<p>I was looking at this website, which shows the curve from previous years:
<a href="http://www.erikthered.com/tutor/SAT-Released-Test-Curves.pdf%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.erikthered.com/tutor/SAT-Released-Test-Curves.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>And I was surprised to find out that my scores seemed to be WAY lower than even the lowest score in my range.</p>

<p>For example:
CR: I had 43/67 on this section, and I received a 540.
Average curve: 580 (lowest 570).</p>

<p>Math: I had 34/54 on this section (19 wrong, 1 omitted), and I received a 530.
Average curve: 570 (lowest 560).</p>

<p>Writing: I had 37/49 on this section (Essay: 9), and I received a 590.
Average curve: 600 (lowest 590).
^ This one at least falls into the range of previous tests.</p>

<p>Was the curve for this SAT really that harsh?</p>

<p>Just tell me if I'm crazy. I can take it. :D
Or do I have a reason to be curious if a mistake was made?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>You can ask for a score verification either way. I wouldn’t know how to make such an assumption however.</p>

<p>You have to subtract .25 points for each question you missed. For example, your Math raw would be a 29, not a 34.</p>

<p>Thanks! That makes sense. I guess I’ll just have to study better for the next one.</p>
