Jan. 22nd experimental and curve?

Test Preparation
1

<p>What section was the experimental section, and what do you think the curves are for the math and verbal sections respectivaely?</p>

<p>I had M V MM R R M i believe, and I think the 2nd math section (the one before the quantitative comparisons was the experimental (the one with the last question with 930 is the digit answer thing for the answer???))))</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>And don't be lazy post something dmamit</p>

<p>yes i agree...the section with the 930 prime is going to be experimental, it was the experimental 2 years ago, and 3 years ago....and for the curves, i also posted on my thread what my predictions for the curves were going to be, and let me repost with a slight adjustment...:
Verbal 800, 800, 800, 790, 770, 760, 750, 730, 720, 710, 700, 690
Math 800, 800, 780, 770, 750, 730, 720, 710, 690, 680, 670</p>

<p>holy **** i might get a 1550-1600. That would be AWESOME.</p>

4

<p>these were the curves they used last year and mostly everyone agrees with them so far after i added the 780 after the two 800s on math, i think this is preety reasonable...</p>

5

<p>just wondering what my score would be if i had the total raw score in math: 58</p>

6

<p>what's a 58 for math raw scale anyone?</p>

7

<p>780 according to his curve. Looks like 8 wrong on verbal will be a 700+. Hopefully no more than 8 for me.</p>

8

<p>Though if you're REALLY lucky, you might get an 800 with 58. This rarely happens, it happened once on 10 Real Sat's out of 10 tests. And I'm getting the impression from other people that this test was harder than usual. So if that's the case, and if -2 is 800, you might get 800.</p>

<p>if this happened i would have went from a psat score of 1180 - to almost 15something.</p>

10

<p>lol, same fate for me. I bombed that PSAT (1200 something) but if I get 1500 something...well I dunno...I'll never have to worry about the SAT again. Crossing my fingers...expecting a 59 on Math (just got the cube thing wrong).</p>

11

<p>hey, i had QC before my second math section...my test was: math mc, verbal, math qc, math mc, verbal, math, verbal...so do you think my 4th section was the experimental (it had the 930 in it)</p>

12

<p>Yes that was the experimental sat person.</p>

13

<p>yeah, ive gotten a bunch of comments like that...actually, sat are the first 3 letters of my name, and i def. didnt get a 908 on my sat's...</p>

14

<p>ooo...is your name santa?</p>

15

<p>would be if it weren't for the fact that the first three letters of santa are s-a-n...but good guess:rolleyes:lol</p>

16

<p>no, but we can IMAGINE can't we? :D</p>

17

<p>lol, alright, go ahead</p>

18

<p>wow....I should be going from a 1310 psat to over a 1500..amAzing.....800 on math even more amAzing!</p>

19

<p>So, what is your name, sat908?</p>

<p>Well, learned it from my AP Statistic class</p>

<p>the formula is here:</p>

<p>x bar = {[(xi - yi)^p(b) - (xa + ya)^p(a)] * standard deviation * Z (score)}/(population variance) * (n - 1)/500 * 800t</p>

<p>--> since it is based on log, whose base is ten, the resulting SAT curve fitting will always round to the nearest ten.</p>

<p>in which n is your raw score and t (either 78 for verbal and 60 for math) is the maximum raw score you can have</p>

<p>other variables are determined from the population statistic from the experimental section; your "real" test will always have been "experienced" by the former testtakers in their experimental section</p>
