May 2011 International curves?

<p>Any predictions? Any clue?</p>

<p>I guess there is only one curve. For all students. I can guess from 750+ above in all three as: Maths (-2), CR (-4), Writing(-3).</p>

<p>That’s pure guessing. What are your predictions?
I’m wish I’d score 2200+ <em>fingers crossed</em></p>

<p>How much do the curves change from test to test?</p>

<p>There is no pattern. It really depends on the difficulty of the test that day. It’s not as if some numbers are alternating regularly.</p>

<p>My prediction is that for 800 the curve will be:
CR -3/4
WR -1/2
M -1</p>

<p>Math this time was exceptionally easy, but I can’t say the same for the reading.</p>

<p>I am really hoping to get something in the 2250+ range…</p>

<p>I don’t think math ever has a curve.</p>

<p>I think it’s more like:</p>

<p>CR -2
WR - 1 (if you have 11 essay)/2 (if you have a 12 essay)
M - 0 (but hopefully hopefully a 1) >_<</p>

<p>Math may have a curve. It has happened in the past. Up to -1 is what I have seen as max. Maybe -2, but the test must be brutal and that’s not the case here at all. So either -0 or -1. I am thinking -1 because I saw a problem that has probably challenged most of the students sitting the test today, yet I am not sure. </p>

<p>And critical reading can easily get up to -4. In fact, most of the tests I have seen will be -3. I have never seen a -2, to be honest.</p>

<p>The writing…yeah. Depends on the essay.</p>

<p>-3 or -4 for Critical Reading? Hmm.</p>

<p>Would today’s Cr be considered harder than usual, easier, or average? I’m generally quite good in that section so I can’t really make a good judgment.</p>

<p>I normally do between 700-800 on the Blue Book tests…from my prospective - harder. More like towards the -4 end, but could well be -3. I doubt A LOT that it will be less.</p>

<p>I thought the math was harder than any of the blue book ones. </p>

<p>I typically get perfects from blue book; as far as I know, I got two wrong on this test.</p>

<p>math had many trick questions and if you look at the math discussion there a questions where half say one thing and the other half say another thing so i don’t think to many people managed to get through it without a mistake. hopefully a mistake will give you an 800 but the curve might afterwards fall quickly since in general it was easy.</p>
