June CR Curve Harsh

<p>Was the June CR curve harsh?</p>

<p>I got an 800.</p>

<p>I got a 650. But I didn't do half a passage 'cus of time. I'd say it was pretty fair.</p>

<p>I got a 680, but I thought I did better. :-(</p>

<p>I thought it was harsh, or maybe just hard. My scores went down, but not by much 700->670 in June. Thank goodness for superscore, because my math and writing went up.</p>

<p>I got a 590, thought I did MUCH better. (Expected 650-670 ish)</p>

<p>I did better than I expected. I know I messed up a question on the vocab section, so I was surprised to get a 730 (rule of thumb: if you feel like you did perfect, subtract 3. If you think you got one wrong, subtract 4, and so on)</p>

<p>I think it's because of the abundance of fiction and personal narrative passages and the dearth of textbook-style academic passages. People who don't study find fiction easier to read than nonfiction, so the curve was harsh. </p>

<p>And for people like me who mastered academic passages, but abhor person narratives, it was like the trifecta of crapola. The last two QAS's I took before the test I scored 750 and 770 respectively, and the June SAT, 720. (Same crap happened with math: 740 then 750 theeeeeen 690.)</p>

<p>I got a 680....i mean i wish i would have gotten one more right...a 700 just sounds SOO much better!
AH!!</p>

<p>My score was 40 points lower than I was hoping for ( I though I might even manage a 800), and I got a 740. It;ll be easier to tell once score reports come out.</p>

<p>The curve is always harsh on the SAT. In February I got 5 wrong and it was 700 on CR, 4 wrong on math and it was 680.</p>

<p>I'm not sure. I personally thought it was easier than the March one but that's mostly because in March i messed up on the last section about politics which was uber hard for me. I got 5 questions wrong in that section and I missed a total of 6 which was a 700. In June, it was more personal narrative which was easier for me and i'm pretty sure i missed at least 1/2 questions but I still got an 800. the SAT is really a matter of luck so i guess it depends on the person. I hope that helps. The best way to find out is to wait till july 5.</p>

<p>Personally- I thought the curve/test section was easy. I got a 640 on the March one, and without any additional study, got a 690 on the June one. Was expecting about a 660.</p>

<p>I don't know, it may have just been that I was more rested.</p>

<p>I'm pretty sure that the curve was lenient because I know for sure that I missed a vocabulary question but I still got an 800.</p>
