<p>Math is always my strongest subject, so I don't really think the math was harder.</p>
<p>There were 2 near-impossible SCs in CR. I don't even recognize the answer choices in all my experience of taking the SAT!</p>
<p>I retook the SAT just because I thought I could do better in Writing. Turns out I'm wrong -- the error IDs probably killed me again. Last time I had -5 wrong and 10 essay, so if I could improve that then I'm happy.</p>
<p>i know i got one question wrong in Math. any chance of 800?</p>
<p>Math is also my strongest subject but I got a wrong in grid in(which I know of) . I gridded the wrong value. ANy chance of 800???</p>
<p>And my experimental section was CR not Maths (typo..above)</p>
<p>Thankfully , the SCs had some of the words I had learnt this morning for the first time...Even I couldn't believe it.</p>
<p>If the math curve is good (but it hasn't been in awhile), then you will have a chance at 800.</p>
<p>I used process of elimination for the SCs. Thankfully, I got them all correct. I'm not so sure about the passage questions though...</p>
<p>omg the math was ridiculously different from what I was expecting! and the reading comprehension was so annoying with the reoccuring themes. </p>
<p>I have to get this straight- do curves vary accordingly to the difficulty of the tes or are they like rigidly determined? Cause if they are not that would equate to death :/.</p>
<p>~.~; damn so 1 wrong you expect to be how much? 780?</p>
<p>^ probably.</p>

<p>MATH;
54- 800
53- 790
52- 760
51- 740
50- 720
49- 710
48- 700
47- 690
46- 680
45- 670
44- 660
43- 650</p>
<p>The math curve is usually pretty good, until you get to like -3, then there's a sharp drop.</p>
<p>-0: 800
-1: 790
-2: 760
-3: 720 (using the curve above)</p>
<p>oasis, if you dont mind me asking what was your score with a 10 essay and -5 RAW (Cause thats what I hope I got :p)?</p>
<p>oasis, do you think we took the same test version? I had a writing experimental section, too.</p>
<p>i dun think the math curve will be like that, last time i took the sat,
1 wrong =780
but i suppose the curve this time is easier to score, since i din do one question, plus there are much harder question!! : ) felt challenged for SAT1's maths for the first time, and i felt so annoyed when i have to do 35 question again..
i suppose they have 5-10 different sets of SAT question, don't they??
Cause there is this guy beside me being nice and tell me that i;m might be doing the wrong section,(he's doin CR and i;m doin maths, both sec 3, and i told him there are different sets... =) good luck guys!</p>
<p>okay, after what I just read in this thread. I'm 100% sure I made the right choice by not taking the Oct test. I hope november isn't this bad!!</p>
<p>I had 4 CR sections (Central Europe). </p>
<p>lol, the girl beside me was confused when she saw that our sections differed. never seen such a great relief when I filled her in. but all she needed were 2x 410 on CR and M. athletes.</p>
<p>cesar - I actually got -5, 10 essay twice (Jan/Jun). Both of them are 690s =/</p>
<p>I think the writing curve is too brutal.</p>
<p>What Was The Essay!?!?</p>
<p>Yuck was the essay. Ouch - calculated 5 minutes to much for it and time was called in the middle of a sentence. Anyone knows how much it will be off ? (no conclusion - the rest should be fine).</p>
<p>Math was tricky sometimes and I had to guess one grid in. However, the rest was fine and the longer the test took, the better it became. Let's wait and see.</p>
<p>what was the topic of your essays?</p>
<p>i had an experimental writing also but are you sure its the first section that was experimental?</p>
<p>also for the essay, IT WAS SO WEIRD
i hate using personal experiences but i couldnt think of anything so i ended up using a literature/experience combo. experiences dont lower your score...do they?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!</p>
<p>writing was hard and cr was pretty easy which is a miracle for me bc i am stupid in analyzing passages.</p>
<p>HAHAHHA fu**ing done with SATs FOREVER!!!!!!!!
Essay-seen this topic thousand times.
CR-I suck at CR but this one was relatively easy! I mean, many of the answers were just straightforward.
Math-The last two pages of one section (section 7?) killed me!! (hope this one is experimental..though I don't even know if math was experimental lol) but I have 790 on math so don't really care hehe.
Writing-(always) harder than I expected.. those damn NoErrors!! arghh!</p>
<p>In general it was not too bad..whatever that means.</p>
<p>Did anyone get a SC answer with altered/revolution. That was the only one I wasn't sure of.</p>
<p>I found the passages hard, especially the Thoreau one, but then again, Math is my strongpoint.</p>
