***February 2016 SAT Makeup Thread***

@amaranthive 4 questions wrong will never be a 770 on a math section of the SAT

@Schwinn71 wow excellent job answering my question. care to explain why

Sure, @amaranthive - Four wrong means you must deduct 1.25 X 4, which comes out to 5, leaving a raw score of 49, which, according to the curve posted above, is a 690.

Now there might be a slight variation, of course, as wrong answers in the grid-ins are just a deduction of 1 rather than 1.25.

So compare two kids who both answer all the questions and both get 4 wrong. But one kid gets 2 wrong grid-ins and two wrong multiple choice while the other gets one wrong grid-in and 3 wrong multiple choice. With the posted curve, that second kid scores 30 points lower than the first! That’s rough…

Yes, math curves are really brutal, @pckeller --because so many students ace that portion of the test!

Guys did anyone get his/her score?

@Aliahamed
No. Scores aren’t supposed to be available until March 11th.

Is this thread for the Feburary 27 SAT too? Anyone take it?

yep. math was easy but cr was pretty hard

Yeah I thought that too

yea cr was so hard…i think i had a cr experimental and i have a feeling it was section 4 since s3 had 23 questions and s7 had 25 questions but only s4 had 24 questions. i hope im right because i really bombed on s4 :frowning:

That trinidad passage was SO hard. Anyone remember any questions?

How was writing guys?

How was the trinadad family’s? I put flexible and inclusive

Writing was alright I think

I didn’t like the vocab

yeah i thought cr was p hard too, math was ridiculously easy and writing was simplistic too… how bad do you guys think the curve will be :////
and @ys1213 yes section 4 was experimental

omg thanks god

what was the question with the 5 coins? was it 4 ways?
and what about the bird feed one with 300 people and 40%?

yep
