<p>So... 35 more days. How are you coming along? What/How are you studying? Any question/comments? What have you been scoring?</p>
<p>I'm hoping for 2200+ as a sophomore but the reality is looking to be 1900-2100. Trying to focus on SAT math (which I suck at) and vocab.. you?</p>
<p>I’m writing on May 2 too…I’m aiming at 2100+.So far,I’ve been using the Official SAT study guide,Princeton Review and Barron’s for vocab…no tutors or anything…so,far I’m averaging 1900.I always score 750+ in Math,but Writing and CR range at about 550-650.So,I desperately need to improve in English.</p>
<p>I’m stuck between taking this or the Subject Tests in May. If I do take I’m going for a 1450+; my CR is great but my math needs major work haha.</p>
<p>smart chap ,if you score 750 on M.it is easy to improve your WR to 750 and your CR to 600.This results in 2100 ;]</p>
<p>Hm…yeah…will have to work on that:)</p>
<p>I’m trying to get all my scores into the 700+ range… math is especially hard for me. I know (most of) the material, but I make careless errors, a lot of which is simple arithmetic errors >.<</p>
<p>What is the May curve usually like?</p>
<p>-1 790
-2 760
-3 740/
-4 720/710
-5 700</p>
<p>is the May SAT easier than the other ones ?</p>
<p>questions or Points?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>It all depends on the test. There’s no difficulty trend based on month – it just depends on how hard the questions turned out!</p>
<p>My friend was saying that if the majority of people do badly on the SAT,then they usually increase the scores of everyone. Is this true ?</p>
<p>Wrong. Totally and utterly wrong. The curves are pre-determined by the difficulty of the questions; if all morons took the May SAT or if all geniuses took it, it wouldn’t matter. You’d get the same score.</p>
<p>When CR7_ManUtd was explaining the curves was he referring to points or just single problems.</p>
<p>Just got an 800 on CR!!! But 650 on Math… :(</p>
<p>@Arachnotron</p>
<p>Really, how do they determine the difficulty of the questions if they don’t take into consideration the percent of test takers to get the question correct.</p>
<p>I was under the impression that the scores are adjusted after all of the raw scores have been calculated in order to assure a similar score distribution for all tests.</p>
<p>@ mulberrypie</p>
<p>What does that mean u just got an 800 CR and 650 on Math. How would u know yet?</p>
<p>She probably took a practice test.</p>
<p>@4.0 The experimental sections are used to determine how smart the particular testing group was so they can make sure that does not affect the curves.</p>
<p>Yes, I took a practice test lol…</p>
<p>^I was under the impression that the experimental section is used for research for future tests, not how smart that testing group was…</p>
