<p>Which was easier?</p>
<p>Do you think (compared to the curve you got on the Dec one) it will be in line with the Dec Curve?</p>
<p>I think the Jan one was actually harder, especially in math. Therefore, i expect the Jan to be curved more than the dec one</p>
<p>I agree, compare to MAY, OCT, DEC 07' SAT, JAN's math was the hardest, but actually I did well on JAN's, so I guess it depends on one's a level of math skills. CR was way easier than 07's</p>
<p>anyone have a link (or know) to the other curves (since this one was harder)</p>
<p>I took the June, October, and December SATs and I must say that the January SAT was the hardest of all three. I hope that the curve will really help me, as the Math had some tricky questions to it.</p>
<p>The Jan Math was harder than Dec's Math. I had 5 mistakes on the Dec test and got 700 points.</p>
<p>CR in Jan was easier than the Dec one (which was pure horror for me).</p>
<p>Writing Multiple Choice was OK but the essay was just SO STUPID. The topic couldn't be worse.</p>
<p>Today's test was really brutal compared to Dec for both math and critical reading, but I hope that since math was my experimental section, the math section that gave me a terrible time this morning won't count toward my score. (please oh please!)</p>
<p>The writing topic really stumped me and I couldn't think of anything to write for the first five min. then I just started writing even though I didn't know where I would go with it. Eventually, I formed a jumbled mess, I'm embarrassed to call my essay. I expect I bombed it. I'll prolly get a 6.</p>
<p>The topic about the "joining groups of people with whom one has nothing in common"? Did you get that one? I did. It's horrible.</p>
<p>I didn't get that one, but it sounds even worse than the one I had! Mine was about being original versus mimicking others.</p>
<p>I dunno, most of CR was really easy EXCEPT for the poetry one, so not sure about that.</p>
<p>Math was harder, so was writing.</p>
<p>yeah all the CR was easy except for the poetry translation one!</p>
<p>Flame, I got the same essay topic. It proved impossible to me to incorporate literary/historical examples. I used 2 personal anectodes (though they are more analytical than simply saying 'this one time at band camp... :p)</p>
<p>Though this was my 1st SAT, I pretty much agree with everyone. The Math was insanely hard, though I expect a 700 +. THe problems were WAY harder than any bb-practice test I took (I took 5 full-timed)</p>
<p>Poetry one was horrible. I didn't understand a word. This time I felt tht Math was better thn CR (in Dec, CR was better, I got 750 with 4 wrong). Well, I am nervous.</p>
<p>um has dec one not come out yet????????????????????????????????????</p>
<p>@Flame/Kowloon</p>
<p>wasn't the essay prompt "is there value in joining groups of people with whom one has SOMETHING in common??" I hope i didn't misread the prompt....</p>
<p>bummmmmmp!</p>
<p>It was about nothing in common, not something in common.</p>
<p>My examples were:
how celebrities join groups of ordinary people while on aid missions in poor countries (specific example with Angelina Jolie and Cambodia)
personal experience example</p>
<p>I know, the Angelina example was plain lame but I couldn't think of anything else and was running out of time.</p>
<p>^Even I got the same.. It was such a weird prompt.. Couldn't use any literature/history examples(as if I knew any..)!! I gave only 2 personal examples... and am sure that I'll get 6 for the essay. I generally write crappy essays and this one was the crappiest essay of all!</p>
<p>^I thought that it was something in common! Crap! Then I messsed up!</p>
<p>I think I messed up too? I wrote about how being in a group of the same kind limits on thoughts, breeds biasness, etc. Ugh!!</p>
