January SAT Waiting Thread!

Test Preparation SAT Preparation
1

<p>Less than five days! How are you all feeling?</p>

2

<p>NERVOUS!
I NEED to get my scores up!!! Especially CR… that last one was so bad :confused:
How are you guys staying preoccupied?</p>

3

<p>^Studying for school;) How do you think you scored?
I plan to stay up late Wednesday night / Thursday morning to wait for scores.</p>

4

<p>Do you know what time the scores are gonna be up?</p>

5

<p>For the SAT Subject Test scores in December, they were up at about 4~5am EST. (converted from my time zone)</p>

6

<p>Score-wise, I am expecting a 2150, with a superscore of 2210. But that’s probably too optimistic, so I’ll say… 2090, which is exactly what I got last time.</p>

7

<p>So nervous</p>

8

<p>I honestly have no idea what to expect. It’s my first SAT so my anxiety is manic.</p>

9

<p>I got a 2260 in October (dumb mistakes in M and W) but from what I’ve seen in the discussion threads here for the Jan SAT I’m looking at just -1 CR if I didn’t make any stupid mistakes. Fingers crossed.</p>

10

<p>What’s the most you think I can miss on writing MC to get a perfect score if I’m projecting a 9~10 essay? freaking out ><
hopefully my essay is 10+ but yeah</p>

11

<p>I’m quite nervous! : (</p>

12

<p>^Usually the trend goes that if you get a 12 on the essay, you’re allowed 2 mistakes. An 11 is allowed 1 and 10 has to have a perfect multiple choice section. The January writing section definitely wasn’t that rough so I’d say it’s something around there.</p>

13

<p>Which date do you guys think the curve would be around?

<p>My anxiety is off the chart. It was my first SAT and nothing felt too brutal…but we’ll see.</p>

15

<p>20Summer08, it looks like that table is wrong given that I took the SAT in Jan 2012 and got a 740 in Math because I got two questions wrong - in other words, I had a raw score of 51/54 (because I didn’t omit any, so the half point I got off rounded up to a full point off my raw score) and got a 740, not a 720 like your table would predict in the 01/12 column for the Math section.</p>

16

<p>First (and hopefully last) SAT for me too. I was planning to retake in October, but now I realize that I REALLY don’t want to XD
Hopefully my score’s high enough not to retake…
I feel pretty confident about MC (-1 CR and -1 W, and maybe a couple of stupid mistakes), but I’m really worried about my essay…if I was the one grading, I would have given it 4/6.
@Summer: In my opinion, CR will be moderate, Writing will be harsh, and I can’t tell for Math.</p>

17

<p>Or maybe I had a different test?</p>

18

<p>@adissa: They round your raw score up, so 2 wrong would be 51.5 = 52/54</p>

19

<p>I’m more excited than anything…just want to see a good writing score and I’ll be happy! What time will the scores be released on thursday?</p>
