<p>Except you DIDN’T “just state facts and numbers.” You told me to try to use logic to figure it out, *******.</p>

782

<p>Thought the test was pretty easy. For one of the questions about slavery, did you guys get that African Americans ultimately developed their own culture?</p>

783

<p>@amuhammad
Yes, I remember putting that as an answer.</p>

784

<p>anyone know what the curve was for the test?</p>

785

<p>I put Russia as not one of the Allies - how embarrassing.</p>

786

<p>I second NspiredOne’s question…</p>

<p>What was the curve for this test? Its been bothering me haha. After comparing my answers with this thread, I was sure I did well…</p>

<p>Result: 750</p>

<p>= Me not happy :/</p>

787

<p>

</p>

<p>My friend convinced me during the break that that was true. So during the second test, I basically risked my scores to change that answer from Italy to the USSR. </p>

<p>Yeah, he may have cost me a 790 or an 800. -___-</p>

788

<p>allies as in wwii? yeah russia = stalin = good guy for a little while…</p>

<p>tough luck. or are we talking wwi here?</p>

789

<ol>
<li>the curve must have sucked.</li>
</ol>

790

<p>^^wwii. -____________-</p>

791

<p>ohhhhhh thats rough… 750+ is solid anyways.</p>

792

<p>

…</p>

<p>People really do this?</p>

793

<p>

Well then, it looks like you deserved what you got. Though I very much doubt the one question would have made the difference between a 780 and an 800.

He didn’t make you change your answer…</p>

794

<p>^Yeah, I kinda had it coming to me. You win some, you lose some.</p>

795

<p>Ah, I’m stilll curious about the curve…</p>

<p>Anyone have any idea?</p>

796

<p>yeah me too… was the consensus that this was a easy test or something?</p>

797

<p>extremely easy. I wouldn’t be surprised if there was an equally harsh curve. Nevertheless, I got an 800 with probably 4-5 wrong.</p>

798

<p>I am pretty sure this test was easy, seeing as how my 770 was only in the 94th percentile.</p>

799

<p>I’m pretty sure the percentiles hardly every change, unless a class is particularly good or bad with the test.</p>

<p>(Remember the percentile isn’t just your score vs the other people that took the test that month…)</p>

800

<p>what is the curve usually ? for like a medium test? 9 wrong = 800?</p>
