Jan sat curve

<p>looking through the "scores are out" thread seems math was same as Dec2005. -1math=780</p>

<p>How about CR and Writing? some one told me 4 wrong in writing was =75raw. wow it was lenient.</p>

<p>how about CR? it seems 2-3 wrong was 800!! is this true?</p>

<p>thanks any comments would be appreciated</p>

<p>please any opinions</p>

<p>we are still waiting for the score to come out. It would bee nice to know what to expect. thanks a million</p>

<p>That sounds pretty accurate to me because I knew I did terribly on math (sure of like at least 6 incorrect) and I got a 610, and verbal I knew I got at least 3-4 vocab wrong and guessed at a couple more and got 710 so that had to be more lenient.</p>

<p>I would say that 1 wrong was a 780 for math, for CR, 1 or 2 wrong was an 800, and 3 wrong was a 780, but not sure for writing.</p>

<p>thanks anymore opinions</p>

<p>J mom, we'll get the score report soon (feb 24, i believe)</p>

<p>by then we could tell u more</p>

<p>tonysu my son will get his score on 21st of Feb. He Just wants to know what he got.</p>

<p>Well, here's a direct comparison.</p>

<p>I got 730 on writing, with 69 multiple choice and 11 essay.
Afriend got 670, with 69 multiple choice and 8 essay.</p>

<p>So each point on your essay was worth 20 points.</p>

<p>I don't think it's linear.
My daughter got a 750 on writing with a sub score of 78 for the multiple choice section and an 8 on the essay.</p>

<p>iriseyes and ingrid thanks for your response but I would like to know how many mc wrong(estimate) would be 69 or 78 raw score this time. </p>

<p>do you think 2 wrong is 78? someone very smart told me 4 wrong was 75 raw on this Jan sat. My son got 3 wrong on mc in writing what do you think the raw score will be? thank you</p>

<p>There are 49 mc questions, so the highest raw sore is 49. The "Writing Multiple Choice Conversion Table" (in the 2006 edition of the CB Blue Book) states
raw 49 = 78-80 scaled
raw 48 = 77-80 scaled
raw 47 = 74-80 scaled
raw 46 = 72-80 scaled
raw 45 = 70-80 scaled
raw 44 = 69-79 scaled</p>

<p>4 wrong answers would be a raw score of 44 (you loose .25 points for each wrong answer). 3 wrong answers would be a 45.
If 4 wrong is indeed a 75 on the Jan test, then maybe 3 wrong would be a 76 or 77. A 78 would be 1 or 2 wrong.</p>

<p>It also says that mc is about 70% of the score and the essay about 30%.</p>

<p>thanks ingrid
did you take the Jan test? how did you do?</p>

<p>shouldnt your son be asking these questions?</p>

<p>J mom,
my daughter who is a Junior took the Jan test. She did very well (CR 760, M 760, W 750). Her weakest part was the essay (8 of 12).
Good luck to your son.</p>

<p>thank you ingrid and congratulations to your daughter!!!<br>
doverbeach.
yes my son has been asking these questions to people he know in the States. as a concern mom who is almost always on cc asking questions and learning so much about college entrance in America, just thought I could help confirm what he had concluded to keep his mind at peace!</p>

<p>hey ingrid, what percentiles were those scores, do you know?</p>

<p>Cr 760 - 99%, M 760 - 98%, W 750 - 99%</p>
