June 2011 SAT Curve Speculation/Relative Difficulty

Test Preparation SAT Preparation
41

<p>What do you think this will be (I am not including guessing penalty)?</p>

<p>Math -6 and one blank
Reading -5
Writing -5</p>

42

<p>Sorry with a 10-11 essay.</p>

43

<p>could anyone tell me what my scores could possibly be in each subject?
math: 5 blank, 3 wrong
cr: 1 blank, 1 wrong
w: 0 blank, 1 wrong, and assuming a 9/10/11 on the essay</p>

44

<p>With Math you’re probably looking at a 650-690, CR is probably 780-800, W is probably 790-800</p>

45

<p>I thought that Math was easy to medium, writing was easy to medium, and CR was medium to hard</p>

46

<p>another quick question about the curves: are they like any other tests, where if a large number of people get many questions wrong in a certain section or the same qs wrong in all of cr, that the curve is higher?</p>

47

<p>@sanchitthak94</p>

<p>the curves aren’t based on how people END UP doing… the sat creators decide on the curves when the actually make the test, depending on how difficult they think they have made the test.</p>

48

<p>That’s not true, a curve by definition is based on the relative scores of all the people taking the test, and that is the way the SAT works too…</p>

49

<p>Collegebound, stop ■■■■■■■■ on everyone’s thread…</p>

50

<p>collegebound, I’ve given you a link for it on amazon.
Also</p>

<p>SAT curves are NOT actually determined by how people do. They are determined by difficulty of questions and is decided BEFORE publishing. (at least from what I’m reading) also that would be a lot of work to do in 10 days for CB. 6 days for them to get it and scan it. Analyze it and read all the essays and determine curves? Thats pretty challenging. They predetermine them.</p>

51

<p>In my opinion (1 easy -> 10 hard):</p>

<p>Math: 3
Writing MC: 4 (improving paragraphs were tricky)
Writing E: 6
CR: 7</p>

52

<p>According to my AP Statistics teacher (she is an AP grader too):</p>

<p>SAT: have predetermined curve
AP: have a curve that is yet to be determined</p>

53

<p>hey do you guys know if the april land lease question was part of the experimental math?</p>

54

<p>No, april question was a real section, the answer was 10%</p>

55

<p>Hey guys, I’ve posted on other threads but I haven’t really gotten a response. Anyways, I was wondering if someone could estimate my score out of 1600 if I missed 1 math question, left 2 blank and missed 5 CR questions.</p>

56

<p>Probably around a 1480</p>

57

<p>How many would 3 wrong and 2 omitted in math be? Any chance of getting a solid 700 on this test with probably a better curve?</p>

58

<p>@ hotdog57:</p>

<p>Rough projection says a 700: <a href=“https://satonlinecourse.collegeboard.com/SR/digital_assets/pdfs/eri/scoring_2010-2011.pdf[/url]”>https://satonlinecourse.collegeboard.com/SR/digital_assets/pdfs/eri/scoring_2010-2011.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

59

<p>plz predict my scores someome… I took the international version reading=60 outta 67<br>
maths= 52 outta 54 writing = -1 on mc with 10 or 11 on essay</p>

60

<p>@adi2915</p>

<p>CR -7 is probably 680~700 but this test wasnt too difficult so i would say more around high 600’s</p>

<p>math: -2 is usually 740~760 but math wasnt too difficult either so im guessing around 740</p>

<p>writing: -1 mc with 10/11essay should be at least 770 to 800 if you got an 11 on your essay. </p>

<p>best of luck!</p>
