<p>When I see the Conversion score table in official sat book, All raw scores are scaled with Range.</p>
<p>For example, </p>
<p>-Critical Reading
67: 800
66: 770-800
65: 740-800
.....</p>
<p>and so math and writing.....</p>
<p>That is, how to calculate the exact score in those range.</p>
<p>well u cud take the median score so for 66 raw score u would take scaled score as 785 or for 65 as 770.
we cant be entirely sure of the exact score as on the real test u hav someting called a 'curve' which according to most depends on the perfomance of other people. For example, if u get a hard test and everyone does bad a 65 could be a 800 while one an easy test it cud be 740.</p>
<p>PS:ABOUT THE SAT CURVE IM NOT REALLY SURE AS THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE WHO SAY THAT ITS PREDETERMINED. I WOULD ALSO REALLY APPRECIATE IF SOMEONE COULD THROW SOME LIGHT ON THE SAT CURVE.</p>
<p>the SAT curve is determined by the LAST test administration. you are NOT judged on the same curve as the people you take the test with. you are judged using the information from the preceding SAT administration.</p>
<p>so there's no way to find a "real score" from the college board practice tests. i think it's a waste of valuable practice tests to take them just to find out a score, because the score predictions are inaccurate. (i got the same score on like every single test in the blue book but got over 120 points higher on the SAT.) instead break up practice tests into problem sets.</p>
<p>"the SAT curve is determined by the LAST test administration. you are NOT judged on the same curve as the people you take the test with. you are judged using the information from the preceding SAT administration."
uh, this seems like bs because i got the same subscores on the writing section as a friend of mine but got 10 fewer points (we took different tests)
care to explain, since they must obviously use the same curve for every form that is used on a particular administration date?</p>
<p>huh? i dont understand the anecdote about you and your friend. if you took the test on different test dates, of COURSE your curves are going to be different.</p>
<p>but you just said the curves are determined by the last test administration
i don't think they're using the same form twice here</p>
<p>some teacher here in the CC said:</p>
<p>take the average of the score range for the math
take the lower end of the range for CR
take the average of the median score and lower end of the range for the writing</p>
<p>it's accurate according to him/her.</p>
<p>Nah Thats Not Accurate At All</p>
<p>MED786, what do you suggest?</p>
<p>i get 57-61 raw score on the CR section in the blue book, and i basically have no clue what that score would be on the real thing. :(</p>
<p>just take the average of the range in the book.</p>
<p>"but you just said the curves are determined by the last test administration
i don't think they're using the same form twice here"</p>
<p>Dude, are you acting this way on purpose? If the curves are determined by the last test, they're used only once. the scores of todays test determine the curves used tomorrow. the scores of tomorrows test determine the curves used day after tomorrow.</p>
<p>But i'm not sure if thats true</p>
