Math IIC: Curve?

<p>What exactly is the curve for math iic? In other words, what is the raw score you need to get an 800/790/780 etc?</p>

<p>I have two review books that are completely different!</p>

<p>my friend left 5 blank and got a 790 so . you that in itself's a pretty nice curve</p>

<p>I left one blank and got 4 wrong.....800</p>

<p>OH TIGHT i get a raw score of 44 all the time (seriously like on all of the prac tests ive taken).</p>

<p>A raw score of 44 would probably get you an 800 or really close to an 800. The curves are really generous.</p>

<p>Here's</a> the curve from SparkNotes.</p>

<p>your friend left 5 blank and got a 790? grr, i always get raw score around 43 on tests borderline between 790/800, and i'm hoping for an 800.</p>

<p>5 blank, but she probably missed some too...</p>

<p>oh, good point. i totally didn't think of that.
are you taking the test next sat DirectorsCut? what books have you been using?</p>

<p>on the real test, my only advice is speed through the first thirty and take your time with the last twenty. I left one blank and got an 800</p>

<p>i havent been using anything except two practice tests from collegeboard and a formula sheet</p>

<p>Advice for Math IIC</p>

<p>Most likely too late for the January test, but if you have and know how to correctly use the built in functions of the TI-89, you have the ability to never ever do arithmetic during the entire test as difficult equations can be solved using the "solve" function.</p>

<p>Remember it isn't cheating. Its just making it easier to do well on the test.</p>

<p>What does it really mean if I got a 700 on the regular part of the Math SAT's and a 740 on the SAT Math II? Is it just because of the curve?</p>

<p>you can get a 800 on m2 and get a 700 on m1.its completely possible. a few mistakes on m1 will bring you into the high 600's.its ruthless. but the m2 score will be /can be much higher</p>

<p>What do you guys think the new curve will be? I ommited 2 blah</p>

<p>how does 45 - 790 sound?</p>

<p>Possible is all I'd say. There's really no way to guess, but I'd think that the Math Level 2 curve would stay pretty constant. There's always enough people good at math that harder and easier tests garner much the same result. And math, unlike many other tests, is exact; students who know their stuff and do not make trivial mistakes will get consistently high scores.</p>

<p>45 is for sure 800.</p>

<p>43 is sometimes 800 and 42 in very rare instances.</p>

<p>usually its around 43</p>

<p>43? So that means since I omitted 2, I can miss 5</p>

<p>no u can miss 4 because u also lose .25 for every wrong answer so missing 4 is total loss of 5 pints</p>
