<p>-2 can sometimes yield 770; but, indeed, -1 is probably 770 (the section was relatively easy).</p>

<p>■■■. Now I’m looking at 770/770/800.</p>

<p>what if u get 5 wrongs one math?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>5 wrong would be 680-690.</p>

<p>@ post #24,</p>

<p>Nice use of “sic.” :)</p>

<p>Actually, 1253729…I think I got 6 wrong last time and still managed a 700. Or maybe…2 wrong, omit 4? I don’t know.</p>

<p>He was assuming a tough curve, one that would result in -1 being 770. If that is true, 680-690 is a reasonable prediction.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Why, thank you.</p>

<p>Very true. Thanks for pointing that out. =)</p>

<p>Now let’s cross our fingers and hope it wasn’t such a bad curve. =P Although knowing luck…well…I’ll just hope the curve was only that bad and not worse…</p>

<p>What’s “sic” ?</p>

<p>Let me in on this new lingo!</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>If someone makes an error (esp. grammatical) and you quote them, you use (sic) to show that they made the error and you just quoted them.</p>

<p>Person X: What were 2+2?
Newspaper: Person X asked, “What were (sic) 2+2?”</p>

<p>[sic</a> - Wiktionary](<a href=“http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/sic]sic”>sic - Wiktionary, the free dictionary)</p>

<p>ack, now I’m regretting setting my hopes so high for a 2350+ D: for all I know I made some stupid bubbling error which will kill my score. I guess we’ll all see in…less than 12 hours!!</p>

<p>Hooray for my less than perfect score! Ahh wells. I’m sure when my scores come out I won’t be too depressed.</p>

<p>“sic” is used to identify a mistake in the original quote that the second poster is aware of but cant change it becuase then it wouldn’t really be a quote</p>

<p>OMG 5 hours till scores come out</p>

<p>I got my score.</p>

<p>Just kidding.</p>

<p>:(</p>

<p>Anyone know the writing curve yet?</p>

<p>Critical Reading: 690
Mathematics: 770
Writing: 680 (Essay score: 9)</p>

<p>Total: 2140</p>

<p>I’ve had the week off and waaay to much of it’s been spent stewing. Gah!</p>
