Harsh Math&Writing curve, Decent Reading curve

Test Preparation SAT Preparation
1

<p>I had -3 (taking into account omitted vs. incorrect as well) and I received a 750. That's a bit odd, right? I suppose it's my fault for getting 2 "medium" questions wrong (I really ought to double-check my work).</p>

<p>By the way, judging from which questions I got wrong, the answer to the one math problem was not (A) none.</p>

<p>Now, the reading score was somewhat reassuring. I had 5 problems wrong (-6 technically) - only one vocab problem again, the rest passage-based - and received a 730. That seems more than reasonable.</p>

<p>Here are the two scores that correlate the least. -5 on the writing was a 68 subscore in May. I received -3 on writing this time and only bumped up to a 70?! That means a problem, albeit at this point on the curve, is not even worth a full point.</p>

<p>Discuss what you would've expected based on # problems wrong from your test</p>

<p>The writing curve seemed a bit harsh to me, as I got a 74 MC subscore only missing two problems (got a 10 on the essay and 760 overall). On math I missed 5 and got a 710, and on reading I missed 7 questions and got a 700. Not sure what I WOULD have expected since this is my first SAT.</p>

3

<p>i didn't take the june one,but my may i had -5 on math, 710... which is the same as asasushi's</p>

4

<p>Math curve was outrageously easy -5 was 710. Reading curve was ridiculous I had 3 medium questions wrong (wth??) and 1 omit and got a 740. I guess three wrong is the equivalent of 4 blank, but still, that seems very harsh.</p>

5

<p>Writing curve was a bit harsh; my -5 gave me a 67, and w / and 11 essay I got a 710.</p>

<p>Reading was good; I got an 800 and missed 2.</p>

<p>Math - I dunno, -0 and 800. Section seemed easy to me.</p>

6

<p>Wow so that additional 1 wrong and 1 omit brought me down 60 points...that is just not right.</p>

7

<p>Writing was pretty harsh, -2 and 1 omitted gave me a 72 raw score, plus my (terrible) essay which got a 9, and I got a 720.</p>

<p>CR was pretty generous, though - I had 5 wrong, 3 omitted and got a 700.</p>

<p>And math, I had the same thing as everyone else, it seems: -5 and a 710. That's pretty nice.</p>

<p>I still can't believe the amount of easy and medium questions I missed, though, especially on the damn passage-based reading.</p>

8

<p>i got 4 wrong and got a 740 on CR. This seems to be pretty harsh....</p>

9

<p>5 Wrong and got a 720.... (CR)</p>

<p>-.-</p>

10

<p>The Writing curve was just ridiculous.
I thought the Math and Reading were pretty fair.</p>

11

<p>so i guess II and III was the correct choice for math and the steps were not instructions but movements? : p</p>

12

<p>There's been worse math curves - December, at least.
In December, for math I had 12 wrong, 3 omit-590
June: 15 wrong, 1 omit- 590</p>

<p>(CR) -4 wrong, 0 omit = 740
(W) - 5 wrong, 0 omit, 11 essay = 710</p>

13

<p>4 wrong CR (2 SC [GAH!], 2 PR) = 740
1 wrong W + 10 essay = 780</p>

14

<p>Wait, why do you say you get "a medium question wrong", do you mean they take points off differently on questions of different difficulty levels?</p>

15

<p>1 omit math was a 790.</p>

16

<p>liebenasuka </p>

<p>no. each question is worht the same</p>

17

<p>yeah. For that one problem, II and III were definitely correct. I am sure that question would fall under the 'difficult' category, and I only had a 'difficult problem' wrong, which was the one I omitted about the number of possibilities for something (I believe it involved letters or something).</p>

18

<p>-5 on Math was a 700....that seems really nice to me
and i got -8 on CR and it was a 680...okay...kinda normal i think</p>

<p>writing was harsh....12 essay and and -6 was a 720</p>

19

<p>Last March had a TERRIBLE math curve. 1 wrong = 770 lol :S</p>

20

<p>^ yeah, seriously dude... I missed one and was like ***</p>
