<p>With the new SAT scoring system because of the added section, what are score equivilents to the old SAT?
i.e. what is equivilent to a 1350, 1450, 1550, etc. Thanks!</p>
<p>IT's not clear yet.</p>
<p>The numerical equivilant will just be multiplying your score by 2/3. The percentile equivalent will favor the New SAT a little more. For example: While a 1400 is the numerical equivalent of a 2100. The 1400 might be 97th percentile while the 2100 may be 98th. This is for a number of reasons. The main two are the increased length of test (fatigue), and the fact that we are the first group taking the new SAT (so were not as familiar with the test as old sat takers were with theirs)</p>
<p>and CB will very likely take this opportunity to recenter the scales around 500, thus raising the percentiles a wee bit</p>
<p>FlyinV, I think you mean the New SAT scores will be multiplying the Old SAT score by 3/2, not 2/3, since there are three sections now where there were previously two.</p>
<p>When i said "your" score i was assuming that would be for the new SAT. So it would be converting the other way around.</p>
<p>I would use the 2004 PSAT composite score percentiles and compare them to old SAT percentiles to determine an equivalent score, roughly.</p>
<p>Uh. Actually.
It's different.
Add your math and critical reading. THAT Is your old SAT score.
Your writing is just equvilent to their SAT II writing. Don't do any multiplication crap.</p>
<p>^^^^ except that wouldn't be your old SAT score because both the critical reading and math sections have changed on the new sat</p>
<p>I wonder how the colleges are gonna sort through this mess.</p>
<p>Jason - Prior to March 2005, the critical reading section was known as the verbal section. Scores from these two sections are comparable.</p>
<p>you guys know each other?</p>
<p>What would give you that impression, Usit?
I don't think i've ever addressed you in my whole life. What does your nickname mean?</p>
<p>hint- your screenname would be "ps rice"</p>
<p>i think usitthegap was refferring to your use of the name "jason" to address some other poster</p>
