<p>Collegeboard.com put up the jan 26 SAT details today. It seems i got a 730 CR with 5 wrong and 670 Writing with 8 essay and 6 wrong.</p>
<p>First question is how well did this curve correlate with previous ones, and secondly, how does -6 Writing translate into 68/80?</p>
<p>The curve is designed to make it significantly harder to get below a 300 or above a 700 than in between. It's easy to get below a 700, you only need a few wrong.</p>
<p>The first three questions you can get wrong can be worth 20 or 30 points, easily, depending on the curve.</p>
<p>which comes back to my orginal question.. how was this curve compared to that of previous tests?</p>
<p>Is it normal to get a 640 in Writing with 8 wrong and 2 omits?</p>
<p>By the way, the curve seemed pretty normal except Writing, which seemed pretty darn harsh</p>
<p>GAHHHHHHHHH! The curve for reading was terrible, I got a raw score of 63 and got a 760. Not fair....</p>
<p>-2 for CR was 800. I'm not sure how that compares with previous tests. 12 essay and -6 multiple choice is a 740 writing. -1 math is 790.</p>
<p>I'm reading my essay and I'm shocked I got a 12.</p>
<p>I didn't realize you could miss 6 and get a 690 (in CR). =( Well, at least now I know to skip questions on my next try. The writing curve was kind of harsh, though.</p>
<p>^You got a 740 writing with 12 essay and -6 MC...? I got 640 with 10 essay and -12 MC... (or is this normal?)</p>
<p>does anyone have the link?</p>
<p>Supercai - go to My SAT and click on view score report.</p>
<p>i meant if anyone has the link to a table with the relationship between raw score and scaled score</p>
<p>-3 math...equates to a -4 b/c guessing penalty...gives you a 740!!!!! agh thats so harsh!!!</p>
<p>@arduous did you really get 690 for -6 CR? i had -5 and it only brought me down to 730, so that is a huge drop-off for one question</p>
<p>@mike, how were you reading your essay? mine isnt posted online (or at least i cannot find it)</p>
<p>actually, just found the link to the essay, so nvm</p>
<p>bco09 - Yeah, the total incorrect is 6. I did omit one though. That is still a huge difference. <em>sigh</em> Maybe the ACT will be nicer ...</p>
<p>mine aren't up yet... is anyone else having this problem?
It used to say "Check back in 7-10 days..", but now it says
"Did you know you can sign up a parent to get copies of important emails you get from the College Board?" when I go to the student page after logging in.</p>
