<p>I am SOOOOOOO angry because the only math question I got wrong was the last math question of the last math section and got a 760. I overthought the question because I thought it was too easy. The November test date <em>officially</em> attracts the most math geniuses.</p>
<p>1 wrong = 760 WTH?</p>
<p>Goddamn, does nobody understand how the test is curved? <em>sigh</em> PLEASE READ THAT LINK TOKENADULT KEEPS POSTING, PEOPLE!</p>
<p>We understand the way the curve works, but we are disheartened by the amount of people that did well on the test.</p>
<p>Arachnotron, I don't understand what you mean.
If WAY too many people got a 780 in math, wouldn't that make a 780 LOWER percentile-wise?
It shouldn't shift the the 99th percentile from 800 to 780; that doesn't make sense.</p>
<p>^How well people did on the test (for example, how many got 800s) and what the curve is are two different things. The curve is not designed to preserve percentiles, but only to account for variations in test difficulty. It is possible for the test to be a little too easy (harsh curve) and yet have no one score an 800. This is detailed in that pdf link.</p>
<p>Hi, guys.</p>
<p>The Nov 2008 SAT was administered yesterday as the international December 2012 SAT.</p>
<p>Could someone please post the final, consolidated curves for math and reading (especially for reading)? The posts in this thread don’t quite reveal the cut off 700 point mark</p>
<p>Could someone please post the curves?</p>
<p>Plus, can someone confirm the answer to the question why did the author use quotation marks around the word famous? Irony vs noting that he agrees with the author mentioned in the passage (something like that)</p>
