Let's Figure out the Curve...

Test Preparation

<p>wow that math is killller</p>

22

<br>


<br>

<p>well on the june SAT i got 2 wrong 1 omit and ended up w/ a 720.</p>

23

<p>Lets hope the November curve is generous :)</p>

24

<p>Oh yes pleaaase. Like 15 wrong on CR is still 700+.</p>

25

<p>I disagree with everybody saying October has the harshest curve. The only difference in my raw score was my essay went from 9 to 10 from May to October and yet my score improved from a 2230 to a 2260 (+10 in CR and +20 in W. 800 in M both times.)</p>

26

<p>that's because the math curve was the harshest.</p>

<p>You must have got none wrong.</p>

27

<p>M: 800 790 760 740 720</p>

<p>CR: 800 800 800 790 770 760 ...?</p>

<p>W: I don't the system......</p>

28

<p>CR : 2 wrong, 0 omit, 800
M: 1 wrong, 1 omit, 760. Harsh.</p>

29

<p>My friend got 3 wrong writting and 8 essay for... 690... ouch. In may test she got 6 wrong and 8 essay for 690.. WOW....</p>

<p>I got 8 wrong and 9 essay for 640... =/</p>

<p>ln17: Here is my essay. You should notice that I blatantly made things up, proving yet again that collegeboard doesn't care about the content- just put 5 paragraphs with 3 supports and you've got a 12.</p>

<p>^^Fixed</p>

<p>lol deity your handwriting is funny - it shifts leaning over to the left and then leans over the right..thought i'd point that out ;-)</p>

32

<p>Dude...your handwriting is crazy!!!!</p>

<p>If they did one of those analysis things, they would be like:</p>

<p>"Umm...uhhh....You probably aren't anything."</p>

33

<p>Haha I know. I'm suprised the grader even gave it a score. I would have just thrown it out.</p>

34

<p>Ok so if i would have guessed on the one CR i omitted and got it right i would have had an 800, thats why I never omit! </p>

<p>According to collegeboard my writing skills have gone down 130 pts since March yet my M and CR have gone up 200????</p>

35

<p>dude ur handwriting is crazyyyyyyyyy</p>

<p>i cant even make that out; its like im reading trash
if it was me, i wouldve burned the paper on fire.</p>

36

<p>6 wrong for math = 690
7 wrong for critical reading = 700
2 wrong , 0 omit , 11 essay =770 writing.</p>

37

<p>since when is the essay out of 11, i thought it was out of 6??</p>

38

<p>someone said "Math: 4 wrong, 1 omit = 700"</p>

<p>I took it in june, 4 wrong, no omit, and got a 690.</p>

<p>your curve definitely isn't harsher, kids.</p>

39

<p>vrumchev - They have two readers assess each essay. Each reader gives it a holistic score out of 6. If they differ by 0 or 1 (like 5 and 6 or 4 and 4), they add up the two scores (11 or 8, respectively) that are out of 12 (6 x 2) points.</p>

<p>If the scores differ by more than one point (4 and 6 or 2 and 5), they consult a third reader.</p>

<p>daaamn i wish i took my test in october and not june, with your guys curve, my score would have gone up at LEAST 30 points.</p>

<p>i had 2 wrong cr = 790, unlike the above guy who got 800.
my 4 wrong in math took me to 690, while someone above got 4 wrong AND omitted one and got a 710.</p>

<p>my essay was of the same caliber as the above kid, but I got an 8 on it. Considering the 8, my 710 for writing I guess wasn't that harsh of a curve, cause I also missed 2 multiple choice, but missing 2 multiple choice took me to a 74/80.</p>

<p>So anybody who is complaining about a harsh curve...get over it. seriously.</p>
