Nov SAT Curve - A Little Ridiculous?

<p>math curve = way to harsh, no matter how easy people thought it was.
-1 = 760??
-2 = 740??</p>

<p>and the cr curve was harsh too, i mean, you would think they'd be a bit more lenient with the hard sentence completions. you had to get -7 or above to get in the 700's. -8 was 690.</p>

<p>no. </p>

<p>minus 9 is 690.</p>

<p>^^
8 wrong, without omitting, meaning a raw score of 57, was a 690. Did you omit any?</p>

<p>wait i got the test dates mixed up.</p>

<p>for sure yeah my friend got 9 wrong and a 690.</p>

<p>I got 8 wrong and a 700</p>

<p>1 omit and 1 wrong in Math should have resulted in the same score. Even 2 omits and 2 Wrong are the same score.</p>

<p>theendusputrid^^ so you got a 700 with a raw score of 57 for Nov. Cr? Like the passages with poetry, elephants drawing, the book/his uncle, and the hiker??</p>

<p>can anyone else confirm that -8 without omits (57 Raw) was a 700? Because I got -8 without omits (57 Raw) and got a 690.</p>

<p>Math Nov
3 wrong 1 omit>>700</p>

<p>CR Nov
9 wrong>>690</p>

<p>Writing Nov
I only got THREE wrong but an 8 essay>>690 =/</p>

<p>So do you think that both -8 and -9 could have been 690 for CR? I mean, I guess it's possible that a raw score of 57 and a raw score 56 are both the same scaled score. </p>

<p>Did anyone get 8 wrong, no omits on CR and get a 700? Maybe collegeboard screwed up my score...</p>

<p>I got -9 on CR in November, with 0 omits, and that's a 680 score. 680 680 680 no mistake </p>

<p>"theendusputrid" is stupid...</p>

<p>first he says: "good god -9 in cr means 700."</p>

<p>then he says: "I got 8 wrong and a 700"</p>

<p>GTFO</p>

<p>Missing 9 in cr means that you have a 700, at least for me!!!!!!
Stop calling me stupid, obviously for some reason collegeboard did something weird with our scores.
Here is my evidence:</p>

<p>Congratulations on taking the SAT Reasoning Test! You're showing colleges that you're serious about getting an education. </p>

<p>The SAT is one indicator of how ready you are to handle college-level work. The test measures the critical thinking skills that you learned in school and that will help you succeed in college.</p>

RANGE
When you take a test more than once, your scores may vary. This expected variation is considered your score range.</p>

<p>SCORE RANGEA score range is an estimate of how your scores might vary if you took the SAT several times within a short period, without gaining new knowledge or skills. No test can measure exactly what you know, and many factors can affect your results. Think of each SAT score as being within a range that extends from a few points below to a few points above the score earned. Colleges receive score ranges, along with your actual scores.

PERCENTILEThe percentile for your critical reading score of 690 is 94. You scored higher than 94% of last year's
graduating class of students who took the SAT.
PERCENTILESPercentiles allow you to compare your scores to the scores of other graduating students who took the SAT. For example, say you got a critical reading score of 500. The percentile for this score is 47. This means that you did better than 47% of the graduating class of students who took the SAT. Another way to understand percentiles is to imagine 100 people lined up. The person at the head of the line is ahead of 99 other people, and is therefore in the 99th percentile. Moving back in the line, to be in the 47th percentile, you will be behind 52 other people and ahead of 47.
GRADUATING CLASS OF STUDENTS WHO TOOK THE SATThe graduating class is the group of students who took the SAT Reasoning Test at least once during high school and who graduated last year.

<p>IMHO, the Writing curve was also disgusting.</p>

<p>11 Essay + 1 wrong and 4 omits = 750. Such a sick essay, too.</p>

<p>I got -1 in Math and got a 760 as well. Yes, I must admit, I was pretty shocked that hear that -1 was a 760. I got -4 in CR and got a 750. Is that a harsh curve?</p>

<p>Oh, and for writing, I got 4 wrong, 10 essay, no omits, and got a 730. Last time, I got 3 wrong, 9 essay, no omits, and got a 710. Err.</p>

<p>^ That sucks. My omits instead of incorrect answers helped me a bit, but I can't recall omitting anything hahaha. I seriously think I attempted every question, so maybe it's computer error. I should get it handscored, probably.</p>

<p>yummy mango, it is pretty harsh for CR...</p>

<p>i took it in oct and got -4, 760.</p>

<p>how was the writing curve? Was it more harsh than normal? I got 10 essay and -2 MC for 780.</p>

<p>i got -4 and 8 essay and a 690. I suppose that is sort of fair, but the fact that a 9 essay would have given me a 710 sort of enrages me.</p>

<p>So was the November test actually easier than the October test, so there was a better curve for October?</p>

<p>yea i got the 800 in math and my buddy got the 760 and i was stunned because we found out today he only got 1 wrong, its pretty wild. my reccomendation is taking math two, plenty of leeway, and i pulled off the 800 no sweat</p>

<p>Yeah, I totally second that. Esp. with 800 CR/760 M/800 W. .__________.</p>

<p>That has got to be the harshest -1 in this topic.</p>

<p>54 800
53 760
52 740
51 730
50 690</p>

<p>Bloody hell. I hate my life. Last time I missed 6 in math and got a 680.</p>
