Just how HARD was the april SAT I?

<p>i got my undetailed report in the mail yesterday, and for a 690 Math i got in the top 92 percentile.</p>

<p>i know most of you are in higher ranges, but i was astonished at this news. 92????? for a 690????</p>

<p>I thought the math was extremely easy. I got a 600 and was constantly scoring in the low to mid 500's on all my practice tests. The critical reading seemed pretty close to what I was expecting, but the writing was much harder than most of the practice tests I took.</p>

<p>I thought writing was easy (missed 3, but a 9 essay . . . ouch), I thought the math was what I expected (generous curve, missed 2 MC, 1 Grid in, 2 omitted, 720), and I thought that the CR was easier than most practice tests I'd taken (missed 3).</p>

<p>Easy CR, Harder than usual math, and normal writing (normal writing for my version).</p>

<p>I thought the CR passages were quite down to earth except for the African Marriage one.</p>

<p>Hard Writing (Horrible Curve)
Hard Math
Normal CR</p>

<p>The math had an awful curve, that's why. I got 4 wrong and got a 720.</p>

<p>The verbal had a better curve. I got 2 wrong and got an 800.</p>

<p>According to most people, the writing was the same as normal. I got 0 wrong, an 11 on the essay, and an 800.</p>

<p>CR = ridiculously easy, like those county tests you took in middle school. no joke!</p>

<p>Writing = normal?</p>

<p>Math = whoa...just...i'm still in shock from my terrible score ;).</p>

<p>How do you manage to ace the SAT? Do you practice with the blue book?</p>

<p>Math was very straightforward - there weren't any disgustingly irritating probability questions, so I pulled off an 800.</p>

<p>CR wasn't quite as bad as it was in practice tests I took (Princeton Review). Got a 770, missing 3.</p>

<p>I fail at grammar (69 MC), but the graders loved my essay about the repression Stalin instituted (score of 11). Result was a 720 :/.</p>

<p>misssuperfantastic what did you get on the math section</p>

<p>Let me put it this way, I got a 72 math on the PSAT. On the april, i dropped down to a 640- Test was hard plus panic attack.</p>

<p>Ahaha, Allen, I got a 590!! On the PSAT I got a 69. It was a real *****.</p>

<p>700CR, 740M, 720W.</p>

<p>Meh.</p>

<p>I seriously thought that the math was EASY but I did HORRIBLE (570) on it... so I have No idea what went wrong.</p>

<p>I thought the math and cr was really easily and got an 800 in cr but a 690 in math :/. The writing was tricky for me, but thats just because I never liked my grammer, its either all wrong or no error!</p>
