<p>Do you think that the curve for this Sat will be more generous? Is it going to be similar to the curves for the Sat tests in the blue book?</p>
<p>I thought reading was slightly harder than usual, writing was normal, maybe a bit easier, and math was very easy with the exception of a couple tricky questions. So all in all i think it will be a pretty regular curve.</p>

<p>My prediction</p>
<p>I thought the reading and writing were easier than normal (writing more so), but the math killed me (and it usually never does). Hopefully they’ll be forgiving on the math section. :/</p>

<p>lol, suuuuure. The CR curve has NEVER allowed for an 800 with 3 missed questions. It will most likely be regular, which means 800 790 780/770 760/750 730/710, etc.</p>
<p>actually, it has allowed for that several time</p>

<p>wow! Was the CR extremely hard?</p>
<p>Okay, let me rephrase that: I really, really doubt that this will be the case this time, when most people have reported average to slightly above average difficulty.</p>
<p>well, there is a test in the yellow range that has -3 800, and the average for -3 is a 790. Most people thought it was more difficult than most tests, so a -3 800 is not implausible. The curve I gave it was one of the harsher ones for -3 800 tests.</p>
<p>i think -3 for critical reading will be 800 and then -1 for math will be 780</p>
<p>if its unclear each is started with -0</p>
<p>CR will be like 10/05 or 10/09 curve imo.</p>
<p>was this the first time you took it?</p>
<p>Hell, its gonna be a steep curve… I thought it was a cake walk, and if I thought it was a cake walk, it is.</p>
<p>Definitely one of the harder CR sections. -3 raw points better be an 800.</p>
<p>I seriously doubt -3 will be 800 on CR…especially after last year’s tests. I like how on that thread January and May tests from last year are listed as the two easiest…both -2=790 and both the only times I took the test -___-</p>
<p>i’m happy to hear that i’m not the only one who thought the CR was difficult.</p>
<p>writing does not seems to bad (yeah, i did that on purpose).</p>
<p>math was SUPER easy compared to my practice test (with the exception of 2 problems that i should have EASILY gotten… still fuming over that).</p>
<p>how many questions can one typically miss in CR to get 650+?
700+ on math?
700+ on writing?</p>
<p>thanks</p>
<p>was math really that easy. I mean I usually got 770 - 800 on the practice test but for this i know i at least got two wrong. Maybe its just me being freaked out due to time running out but still one question asked us to know the formula for the series.</p>
<p>for the series one the easiest way to do it was to just find the first 3 terms, it only takes a minute. if n is one, then it is 1/2, if n is 2, then it is 2/3, if n is 3, then it is 3/4, and so on. So if n is 50, it is 50/51.</p>
<p>I’ve taken over 30 old SAT’s (still new format) from previous years over the last two years and that was the hardest reading section I have ever seen. While the vocabulary was easy to subpar some of the questions over the passages were ridiculous. Writing was pretty easy. Math was harder then normal. -3 CR for 800 is highly possible and I have seen it before in multiple old SAT scoring charts.</p>
