Is the May SAT Curve Easy?

<p>Critical reading was insane. That was the hardest I have ever taken. I seriously don’t think I will break 600 and I got a 700+ in March.</p>

22

<p>CR was hard - ambiguous/unclear from passage, and wierd vocab (mawkishness???)
W prompt was easy, section wasn’t that hard either.
M wasn’t bad, except for the 2 questions about a(x-h)+k and the one after it about volume and surface area of a cube</p>

23

<p>Math was easy, but I’m not going to break an 800 because of a few silly mistakes on coffee and 1/(n+1) x|</p>

<p>Any curve predictions? </p>

<p>@yankee, isn’t -2 800 the norm? I would hope that this is a super lenient curve.</p>

25

<p>i thought math was sooo easy, I should definitely be breaking 700.
Writing was pretty easy, some tricks; still should be able to break 700.
and reading was HARD. Aside from the fact that i suck at CR, the vocab was pretty difficult too. ugh, i want to break a 600 on CR, but idt it’s possible ):</p>

<p>My thoughts:</p>

<p>Math-medium
800 -0
790 -1
750 -2
730 -3
710 -4
700 -5
CR- medium
800 -0
800 -1
800 -2
790 -3
770 -4
750 -5
Writing- harsh curve?
800 -0
760 -1
730 -2
710 -3
690 -4
680 -5</p>

<p>Sorry a minus 5 is never going to bring you down 120 points. Maybe a -5 with a really poor essay, but out of every previous sat practice test I took, - 5 is generally around the 700 - 720 range in writing…with a good essay</p>

<p>score report from my sister’s SAT-</p>

<p>math</p>

<p>12 wrong
2 omitted
40 correct</p>

<p>got her a 600</p>

29

<p>Im confused about the writing - are all of these stats with the essay, or not…because I know a bunch of people who got -5 on the march sat on the writing and they all got 700+. They had essays</p>

<p>Go to 1/09 on <a href=“http://www.erikthered.com/tutor/SAT-Released-Test-Curves.pdf[/url]”>http://www.erikthered.com/tutor/SAT-Released-Test-Curves.pdf&lt;/a&gt; for the writing section. One does not just make things up. In addition, I believe the curves here are with the 12 essay. If I’m wrong, then I stand corrected.</p>

<p>I am with dvdhsu on this.</p>

<p>CR- one of easier ones
Math- THE hardest SAT math I saw</p>

32

<p>I thought CR was pretty hard. Vocab was very easy, some passages were okay, some were absolutely insane though (cave painting on). So yeah. average/hard curve
Math was pretty easy. Just a few really difficult questions. Average curve?
I thought writing was hard… It was much harder than January’s anyway. Probably an average curve.</p>

33

<p>januarys curve was brutal</p>

34

<p>hey guys how can you average in a certain amount of omits with the curve?? like for example -8 on CR plus 5 omits, how does that work?</p>

35

<p>Am I the only one who thinks that this was the hardest SAT that they have taken…?</p>

36

<p>I took about 5 or 6 practice tests and the March SAT.</p>

<p>Thought the writing section was average, critical reading was rather easy, and math was hard! Definetly the hardest math section I have expereienced!</p>

37

<p>Why does everyone think math was so hard… almost all the questions were pretty easy. Except for a number 20 or number 8 here and there. Critical reading was definitely the hardest out of all the sections but still do able, the cave painting passage wasn’t THAT bad and i usually do terrible on CR. Writing was just medium</p>

38

<p>^ Why do you think Critical Reading was so hard? Every question was pretty easy…</p>

39

<p>The cave painting passage was just annoying, the vocab on the harder questions was really hard, and i was really short on time so i had to speed through the passages. I’m expecting no less then a 600 or 650 though</p>
