June 2009 SAT INTERNATIONAL

<p>Haha ,I am glad with your score oceangel :slight_smile: What do you think means 770 on M ? -2 ?</p>

<p>My scores and all the people from my room scores are delayed.The guys from the other room that took the SAT II also have their scores delayed :slight_smile: What do you think oceangel means -2 on M ?
I think -1 = 800 and -2 = 770 ? This makes sense because every time the second error takes you 30 points
-1 = 790
-2 - 760</p>

<p>or</p>

<p>-1 = 780
-2 = 750</p>

<p>Congrats oceanangel! Huge improvement. Have you prepared for your January test? I hope to get 2300 in October. Arenā€™t your scores released yet CR7_ManUtd?</p>

<p>No,damn not .All the people from my test room + the guys from the room next door are having their scores delayed.I think CB received our test papers later ;)</p>

<p>Iā€™m 90% sure that -2 raw (1 MC wrong, 1 student-produced response wrong) was a 740 on the June SAT.</p>

<p>hahahahha whaaaaaaaat are you out of your mind :D:D:D I have the curves from the pas 2 years and the worst possible is 750 (rarely ) -2 means 750 (-1 780 and -2 770 )
This is absurd.The international test was hard ,I think it was -1 = 800 and -2 = 770</p>

<p>OMG are you srs?! about the -2 = 770 thing
NO WONDER I DIED AT THE MATH.
i donā€™t even know how it is scored! i panic everytime i do the math section because asians are supposedly better at math, AND I AM NOT GOOD AT IT.</p>

<p>Cr7_ManUtd: Thanks! haha and yeah, I THINK 770 was -2ā€¦2 hugely careless mistakesā€¦but oh well! I think i had 2 grid-ins wrong. haha I was expecting a 760 >.< I think the math curve was pretty lenient this time. aww do you know why your scores are delayed? Thatā€™s really nerve-wracking haha but good luck!</p>

<p>Bilguun: haha yeah itā€™s quite amazing how big the difference turned out to be >.< I actually did prep for January, and my scores shocked me cuz they were so much lower than my average practice test scoresā€¦ So I prepped more intensely for the last few months and looks like it paid off! So, huge improvements are definitely possible! lol Good luck on your october test!</p>

<p>Damn I am so impatient to get my scores.I only know about 1 mistake so I expect 800 on M ,730 on WR ,and probably 650 on CR.
Oceanangel ,did you accidentally grid 114 instead of 144 ?What was your other mistake ? I got the x y z question wrong :D</p>

<p>CR7_ManUtd,
HAHAHAHA
we got the same math scoreā€¦just as we expected lol</p>

<p>and oceanangel, from a 1980 to a 2300ā€¦please tell me how you did it.
Save me, please.</p>

<p>Korean,what did u get and what did u expect :wink:
I am still waiting for the scores</p>

<p>Iā€™m so happy, I got 2260 :D</p>

<p>800W
730M
730CR</p>

<p>Thatā€™s a 200 point improvement since my first time!</p>

<p>wow,everyoneā€™s scoreā€™s improving by 200+, 300+,while mine only improved by 10 :frowning:
whatā€™s your secret?</p>

<p>add me on msn people. Iā€™d like to share my opinion on the SAT with you:</p>

<p><a href="mailto:dj1126ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– ">dj1126ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– </a></p>

<p>The first time, all I focused on was strategyā€¦this time, I actually took the time to memorize the concepts for math and writing, and always went over my practice tests.</p>

<p>Also, I took these classes at this Korean place called Elite Prep in downtown Torontoā€¦itā€™s not really beneficial in terms of the work they give you, since they focus on each concept tested on the SAT. Thatā€™s only good if you take the classes for like a year. The practice tests, though, were administered every class; I feel that really helped me improve. I took the test in real test-settings. I started with about 2100 in the first test, and by the fourth and last one, I had a 2250. I got a 2260 on the real test.</p>

<p>Hope that helped.</p>

<p>Hey guys, got a 2000. Reaction was fairly disappointed, but it was the first time with little prep so I didnā€™t know what to expect. Anyway, Iā€™m fairly optimistic and hopefully can break 2200 after 1 or 2 more tries.</p>

<p>The breakdown was:</p>

<p>M: 740 ā€“> Must have made quite a few silly errors
W: 640 ā€“> Really surprised. I was consistently scoring in the 700s in the few practice papers I did.
CR: 620 ā€“> Expected to score fairly low on this, and improved 50 points from my PSAT with little prep.</p>

<p>Oceanangel, please tell us your secret. I have this summer for prep, so I need this time to maximise my score!!!</p>

<p>yeah Oceanangel, whatā€™s your secret?</p>

<p>Does it seem they graded the essay hard. I got all the multiple questions right and got a lower score then thought I should on the written essay.</p>

<p>I got a 12 with ease lawlz.</p>

<p>HAHA Hmm I really donā€™t know what happened >.<
I think there was have been a problem with me when I took the January test LOL I kept scoring around 2200s on my practice tests, so when the scores came out, I was really shocked. I had:</p>

<p>M: 690
W: 670 (MC: 66, E: 9)
CR: 620 <-CR was ALWAYS my major weakness</p>

<p>So after the test, I bought Kaplanā€™s flip-o-matic vocab book and memorized all the words there. There were about 500 words, I think. That definitely helped with my CR section as I came across many of the words from the book on the actual test and thought CR vocab was actually quite easy. For CR, I guess itā€™s just memorizing as much vocab as you can. </p>

<p>Oh and for the writing section, I think what pulled me up was my essay. You all should try AcademicHackerā€™s essay guide, it REALLY helps! Although I donā€™t know my essay score yet, Iā€™m assuming itā€™s an 11/12 this time. </p>

<p>Hope that helps in some way~ haha</p>

<p>Oh yeah, do you guys think that my 770 Math can be overlooked since I have an 800 Math IIC? I actually donā€™t want to take the SAT for 4 hours AGAIN for those 30 points, but I feel like Math should have been an 800 easily but I screwed it upā€¦</p>

<p>or should I retake?</p>
