<p>So collegeboard is going to make me stay up until 2 AM PDT.</p>
<p>It’s usually 5 AM EST, this time on June 26th. </p>
<p>Math curve predictions:
-0 raw = 800
-1 raw = 780
-2 raw = 760
-3 raw = 730
-4 raw = 710
-5 raw = 700
-6 raw = 680
-7 raw = 660
-8 raw = 650
-9 raw = 630
-10 raw = 620</p>
<p>Do these seem about right?</p>
<p>Yeah^ That seems pretty accurate to me</p>
<p>I wish the graders graded your essay by increments of halves. I feel that mine is better than a 4, but worse than a 5. So ill end up getting an 8 instead of a 9 which I feel I deserved.</p>
<p>Call me crazy for saying this, but I actually like taking the SAT. I mean, I’ve heard so many students say things to the effect of “Gahh! I hate taking the SAT.” and “I can’t wait to be done with it”, but I’ve grown to love the whole process of hard preparation, diligent testing, and those three anxious yet exciting weeks that follow the test. I’m actually going to miss this test for some odd reason. Is anybody with me on this or am I totally insane? :)) </p>
<p>never going to say that i enjoy waking up at 6:30am to take a test tbh but after all my aps and SAT II’s, it makes me glad that the sat is pretty simple and straightforward in comparison i guess?? i’ll still be glad to have it over and done with though, especially if i get a higher score than i got last time. </p>
<p>…can’t say i’m going to miss it. i feel like that would be pushing it. but i get where you’re coming from! </p>
<p>In March I got 45/54 right and like 7 wrong and I still got a 660 isn’t jpvn’s curve a little too harsh?</p>
<p>I will never miss the SAT. It ruined my performance in the last two quarters this year I would feel differently if I prepared over the summer and took it in October but with the way I’ve gone about it nope lol</p>
<p>@Jellybae That is an extremely gracious curve, as you had a raw of -11 and still only got 140 total points taken off. I believe, from personal experience, that the March SAT Math was much more difficult than this one, and thus a 660 is probably somewhere between a 620-640 on this one. I could be wrong, however. </p>
<p>@mizejonathan17 I see what you mean! The math section is a fun game (to me). And in the end its great knowing you can say you got a score in the 9Xth percentile.</p>
<p>@jpvn2015 How would compare the difficulty for the writing and reading?</p>
<p>@LOLBeast1 Writing was about the same in my opinion, with perhaps a few less tricks and traps than usual. The reading seemed more awkwardly worded, and the answer choices were odd as well. </p>
<p>i still feel for #16 on the african doctor to new york it was confused. He talks about being seeing people go into black cars while he’s led to a taxi, seeing the taxi move at an extremely fast speed, then not hearing anything. idk sounded more confused than awed, especially as he said the NYC skyline was already familiar to him due to his experience with movies (at any rate i interepreted the beginning to be the first paragraph). Didn’t see as much for awed, and I generally thought awed has a positive connotation. I felt he was more apty described as being in shock and wasn’t sure if this fits better as confused or in awe.
Also for the (long writing) section, waht did you get for #24 and #26, these were the ones I was a little unsure of.
I said E for #24 and B for #26, I always hate the middle portion where you have to fidn the error because if it’s worded in a way I wouldnt’ word it I can’t tell if it’s an idiomatic error or just a different way of saying it. awkward vs. incorrect I guess. </p>
<p>it wasn’t explicity stated as being unverifiable, more about consequential because he states his belief in its importance I believe. Not sure 100%, i was more sure of it then lol. </p>
<p>I dont remember exactly what 24 and 26 were. Do you remember if the no errors were the ones about cartoons, galaxies, and william morris?</p>
<p>Also, what did you guys put for the question that was about Ruth being interested in various cultures?</p>
<p>Did you guys put no error for the cartoon one?</p>
<p>I hate CB for the Ruth question. I chose “being interested”. Every answer choice made made me cringe but that one made me cringe less because at least it didn’t start a run on</p>
<p>@theanaconda I said awed because of the superorganism… it seemed he was amazed/shocked (maybe confused?) that New York cars moved in such a strange manner.</p>
<p>@Jellybae I think that’s what I choose as well, generally I never chose a Being option but I remember doing so once on the test .</p>
<p>24 was the author or the 19tg century guy who talked about a society unable to produce goods lacking ethics or something . 26 was the Scottish guy/author/poet who is credited to (sounds wrong) saving their language.</p>
<p>I put “lacked” as an error because of the tense. I thought it should be “lacks” but people in the doc say its no error. The credited to was definitely wrong because it’s an idiom error. It was supposed to be “credited for”</p>
