It looks like Jan 2010 will have the worst curve of all times

<p>

</p>

<p>I know of at least two: October 2009 and November 2009.</p>

<p>Well those are the only two. I forgot about the November one, but in the past two years (according to Erikthered’s chart) those are the only instances of -1 garnering a 770. The average is a 790.</p>

<p>Isn’t the curve supposed to be predetermined? I severely doubt that they would give almost three tests (excluding December) consecutively with -1 = 770.</p>

<p>I don’t know when it was, but I got -1 on math and got a 760. So yeah, don’t complain.</p>

<p>Georgetown, that has never occurred before in the history of the SAT.</p>

<p>gtown, on a psat?</p>

<p>Guys, I think we’re grasping at straws here. We all knew that the Math section was really easy compared to other SATs. Its going to be -1=770. I hate the thought of that too, but its the reality. If -2=770, that would mean -0 and -1 would be 800. It’s not going to happen on this test. -1 on this Math will yield 770.</p>

<p>EDIT: I do remember -1=760 on a test. I think November 2009, but I’m not 100% sure.</p>

<p>Just double checked on collegeboard website. November 2008 SAT… I missed one medium, geometry and measurement question. Zero omitted. Got a 760.</p>

<p>I remember the May 2009 math section being easy, yet I missed one and still got 800.</p>

<p>(Another fantasy) Maybe it’ll be 800/800/770? :slight_smile: If only.</p>

<p>Georgetown: Wow.</p>

<p>Man… I hate this… this is freaking ridiculous. I’m sorry about calling a bunch of you guys liars, but I’m just grasping at straws here. I just can’t believe one stupid mistake could take off 30 points… it’s ridiculous.</p>

<p>I know how you feel alihaq717. I’m just hoping the CR curve is going to be 800/800/800/790/770 and not 800/800/800/780/760. If I get 760/770/800, I’m just going to be really pis*ed.</p>

<p>Haha, I would die for a 2330.</p>

<p>This isn’t even a good way to gauge math skills. </p>

<p>The PSAT had a much easier math section and -1 yielded a 79. I thought the math here was roughly as hard if not slightly harder than that and it results in a 770?? Agh… and my reading isn’t gonna be that great, man… I’m just gonna go to sleep. Worst comes to worst I’ll have to study like crazy and retake…</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I wish I were normal. It seems we each have something the other wants lol. I have the 2300 and I’m not satisfied, but you don’t and would be if you had it.</p>

<p>I really wish the test were harder. Then I wouldn’t be wishing for a 2400. Now that I think I have a chance at it, I’m worried about careless errors and all that crap that I’m usually not worried about. Especially since the curve sounds hard. Grrrrr.</p>

<p>was harder u mean
and i agree</p>

<p>I think it’s “were.” You use the subjunctive after I wish ________, don’t you?</p>

<p>ex. I wish I were a singer. I wish he were able to type faster.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Nice catch there. Even I didn’t notice that at first.</p>

<p>hmmm yea u would use it in the subjunctive tense</p>

<p>however, a test is singular and it already happened</p>

<p>if the cat was just a bit faster, it would be able to catch the mouse</p>

<p>i could be wrong tho, cus my brain really isnt working today</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>No, it would be: If the were just a bit faster, it would be able to catch the mouse.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Ah, good point. Perhaps you are right then. But I’m still not sure. :P</p>
