International SAT December 1st 2012 Discussion for Critical Reading

<p>I got 3 writing sections…for the last sections of the two 25min writing, I got one passage about working out and one about …i forgot</p>

<p>Could someone please post the consolidated, final curve for the November 2008 US SAT (same as the International December 2012)?</p>

<p>What’s the minimum scaled marks required for a 700 in Reading?</p>

<p>Do you remember the sentence in full? And who has the link to the 2008 test discussion</p>

<p>The link is posted somewhere in this thread, but the it’s difficult to draw a correct inference of the curve from the thread. One test-taker said that he/she got a 700 with -9. No way. :/</p>

<p>I think 57 = 690 or 700, but 690 seems more probable, and like always, one question in this area of the curve accounts for a difference of 20 or 30 points. Darn it, one question. :confused: I shouldn’t have omitted one question, then. :/</p>

<p>what did you guys choose for rhe analogy in the discovery in desert thing? I chose finding coin outside the store.</p>

<p>okk I am absolutely screwed and want to cry miserably right now.</p>

<p>Math curve
-1 760
-2 740
-3 730
-4 690</p>

<p>For CR, I think -8 or -9 is 700… probably a bit below average curve…</p>

<p>But for math, I missed like 2-3… and that gives me 730… seriously… I got 800 on Math 2C and I am AIME qualifier and I thought the math was hard…</p>

<p>what did you guys choose for the soap opera paragraph? as it is or moving to another sentence?</p>

<p>Last… in the soap opera one, there was one question that really confused me… one sentence is like: earlier, in 19xx, someone developed something and the other one is like soap opera is developed in 19xx by someone. I thought both were gramatically correct.</p>

<p>nirvana1234, No -9 in CR never equates to a 700. Check the SAT curves online.</p>

<p>I hope that -8 is equal to 700 because I got an easy sentence completion wrong that might bring my score down to 690 or so (assuming I don’t get any more q’s wrong). How authentic is your intel?</p>

<p>Plus, can someone confirm the answer to the question why did the author use quotation marks around the word famous? Irony vs noting that he agrees with the author mentioned in the passage (something like that)</p>

<p>yeah I hope -8 is 700 too… well, I was just complaining how harsh the math curve was… -1 760 -2 740 is probably the worst curve given in SAT history. I am just ****ed off because I made few stupid mistakes that that already brings me down -100 points. my authenticity of intel in math? Im Asian.</p>

<p>for “famous” one, I chose he agrees with the author mentioned in the passage. because he referenced the novel, and it kinda showed how the author of that novel defined “famous”…but literally everyone says it’s irony… so i guess Im wrong</p>

<p>@Shuffling SAT loves active voice.</p>

<p>Did the author agree with the point the author of the passage was also trying to make? If that were the case, the author, too, could’ve ironically mentioned the word famous in his writing, so I think that should be correct either way. I think the the author used the quotation marks to emphasize the irony of the status of American Poetry, and he used the reference of the author to, maybe, add legitimacy to his argument. I think irony works.</p>

<p>@nirvana1234 but the active voice one had too much commas,
it read like :earlier, in 19xx, (the name), who was (description), developed soap opera.
The passive voice one was like: " soap opera was developed by (name), who was (description), in 19xx.</p>

<p>how on earth is 1 wrong in math a 760? D: how do you know?</p>

<p>what would my score be if i got 2 or 3 wrong on CR?</p>

<p>and i got the math experimental…
can anyone confirm which one was the math experimental? it was super hard :T</p>

<p>Abu/ct I think it’s 48
Are u serious if I got one on math wrong, I will get760. I think math is pretty hard. May be I got experimental one so I’m so done with math.</p>

<p>I can’t remember the numbers the question gave to us. But Abu/ct if you want to get the highest value you need to give, 3 large numbers to Abu and those smaller and smallest to ct so when you did that, you would get answer for 48. I already checked it with my friends, they got the same answer! May be other people here can confirm this.</p>

<p>Yes its 48 as congratulations said.</p>
