March 1st Test Curve Discussion

<p>i just checkled the score report and the CR curve for the march first test was so harsh. </p>

<p>i only got 2 questions wrong for CR and got a 780.
on most tests -2 is an 800. </p>

<p>:( this sucks. if i had gotten an 800, i would have a perfect score. </p>

<p>is everyone else's score consistent with this curve?</p>

<p>i know the math is pretty harsh too, but the math curve is basically the same as it was in october. </p>

<p>i cant think of test not at -2 for CR being an 800...</p>

<p>Yeah, I got -1 CR for an 800.</p>

<p>As we had assumed, -1 Math = 770. So annoying...I shouldn't have gotten that one wrong...</p>

<p>i feel your pain fhg...</p>

<p>Yeah I got 2 wrong and I got a 740. (On CR, I ommitted 2 so I'm assuming that's why I don't have a 780.)</p>

<p>Yeah, for CR, -1 and an 800, and for Math I got -2 and a 740.</p>

<p>yea but at least u didnt get -4 for CR and a 730!
-3 for the october test was a 770 for CR</p>

<p>Yeah! The 730 was quite... disappointing.
How do you think the writing curve was?</p>

<p>The curve was harsher because the questions were easier. That's the way it works.</p>

<p>^^^^ concur.</p>

<p>I got 3 wrong on the Math section and ended up with a 710...ohh well...if they had put harder questions (meaning the curve would have been easier) I probably would have gotten those questions wrong, so this was pretty much a best case scenario.</p>

<p>I got -3 (no omit) on CR and got a 740. Isn't -3 usually around a 770?</p>

<p>i got 3 wrong on the math and got a 720..hahaha u got screwed over man</p>

<p>Isn't "-3 (no omit)" impossible?</p>

<p>Two wrong = -2
Three wrong = -4</p>

<p>no i got 3 wrong so yes -4 but that is the same thing the other kid got and he got a lower score than me</p>

<p>^^ I was referring to the I got number incorrect, but yes, with the 1/4 point deduction it would be -4. Regardless, I have the curves for past SAT tests and the March curve just seems unusually harsh for CR.</p>

<p>Man, I miss the days when -5 would be an 800 (old SAT) verbal. Oh well.</p>

<p>This curve apparently blows. I missed three questions on each section (none omitted) and my scores were:</p>

<p>-3 CR = 740
-3 Math = 710
-3 Writing (11 Essay) = 760</p>

<p>I feel cheated. :(</p>

<p>the curve was horrible
CR, 2 wrong on oct = 800
3 wrong in march = 740</p>

<p>Math 3 wrong, 2 omit = 690</p>

<p>Writing-10 essay/8 wrong =670</p>

<p>-1, 12 Essay = 800 Writing</p>

<p>-0 = 800 Math</p>

<p>-1 = 800 CR</p>

<p>the 1 math = 770 really ****ed me off...</p>
