Everyone Who Took Sat 1 In October-i Think Cb Made A Mistake With Writing Score...

Test Preparation
21

<p>ok so even if CollegeBoard "did" throw one question out...we should still get the pts because it wasn't the "test takers" fault, it was CB' s fault.</p>

22

<p>IvyLeague, are you going to call?</p>

23

<p>^ exactly, we would be losing one potentital raw point. </p>

<p>IveLeague99, are you going to call?</p>

24

<p>No, they would scale it accordingly. They wouldn't just count it against you. Plus, it was probably a question with more than one right answer, so a lot of people likely missed it.</p>

25

<p>but do we know for sure they threw out a question?</p>

26

<p>I called today, but it's Sunday . So I will call tomorrow morning. So even if CB did recenter the scale, it's still a little harsh. It seems that the highest possible would be a 790 , not 800.</p>

27

<p>46 correct / 1 wrong / 1 omit
11 Essay</p>

<p>=770</p>

<p>One extra point in raw score would be sweet
(I don't remember leaving any blanks either)</p>

28

<p>Guys, I'm pretty sure they threw out "as visible as smog" or something.</p>

29

<p>a -4 and (a -5 total, including the penalty) only gets you a 70 on mc. That does seem a little harsh, but I don't know how they fixed the scale.</p>

30

<p>Yea i got a 70 on MC. Along with a 10 on the essay, that was a 710. Some more points would be great :cool:</p>

31

<p>I missed two and got a raw score of 75.
On the practice tests 75=-3, so maybe.....</p>

32

<p>That's exactly what I got JTC. I think the scale is somewhat the same as in March, exect everyone's score is lowered by a raw point. I don't quite understand what they did.</p>

33

<p>suppose they re-center the curve and boost our scores...
we'll get only like 10 points !?!? is it worth it ...</p>

34

<p>They out to throw out the whole writing section. Most of the "no errors" sentences are still lousy writing.</p>

35

<p>"suppose they re-center the curve and boost our scores...
we'll get only like 10 points !?!? is it worth it ..."</p>

<p>from 780 to 790, heck yes</p>

36

<p>someone call 2m..and post what Cb said..wow...I hope that add points..</p>

37

<p>if it were something like 1990 to 2000, then yea :P</p>

<p>It depends, assuming the scores go up, they may go up by 20 points. Hopefully they won't go down.</p>

<p>It won't affect me. But there is a kid at my school that would get a 2400 with those 10 pts. Bastard.</p>
