<p>^ it cannot be that high
a -5 on Math would be a 680-690
so a -6 or -7 will normally be about 630-660</p>
<p>^ I would say
Math: 590
CR: 740
Writing: 690</p>
<p>Look at the link I gave. The lowest one with a raw of 47 (which is -7) is 670.</p>
<p>I just wanted to get a thread going about how people felt overall on the different sections. IN YOUR ANSWER PLEASE INCLUDE WHAT VERSION OF THE TEST YOU HAD (say what some of your cr passages were) </p>
<p>i had the version that had passages about: carribean culture, farmhouse, quantum physics</p>
<p>my overall impressions:</p>
<p>cr: harder than i expected. i was hoping for an 800 but i’m pretty sure it didn’t happen. there was this one section in particular that i found SUPER hard. if that happened to be an experimental, then my score should be fine. the scs for that section included words like festoon, soplististic, etc. anyone know whether that was experimental or not?</p>
<p>math: a little easier than i expected</p>
<p>writing: as straight-forward as i thought it’d be</p>
<p>what do you guys think?</p>
<p>Ok first time I took the SAT, but I left them blank, I didn’t give an answer and get it wrong… I know you lose points if you guss and get it wrong, but if you leave it blank you are just awarded no points.</p>
<p>I heard that Collegeboard used the exact same test from 2005.
I think this is EXTREMELY unfair… Someone just posted that he had 2 reading sections from the 2005 November test.
do we just sit here and watch those ppl get over 700 on their SATs by remembering the answers from the 2005 tests?
i think this is ridiculous</p>
<p>How is -9 and 2 ommited a 590? I missed 16 and ommited 2 on the october SAT and got a 560.</p>
<p>I agree with you. For CR I didn’t see those words, but I thought it was hard, mainly because I started losing concentration and didn’t go fast enough. I left 3 blank on a 20 minute section, and if I have to guess, I got ~3-4 wrong. Would that be a 720? But fate is set.</p>
<p>cr-music, college athletes, mandarin artist fairly easy, 700+?
writing:was decent hopin for 700+
math:insane, 600-700?</p>
<p>This was my first time ever taking the SAT. Thankfully, on my drive over, I was able to calm myself and wasn’t nervous for the test. I tried to stay as focused as possible.</p>
<p>CR version: college athletes, bats, Yaowhatever artist</p>
<p>Math: I never got to finish any of the sections. The ones I knew how to solve, I found an answer to. Other than that, I left them blank. I need to study this section more.</p>
<p>CR: It was a little challenging because there was some ambiguity in the questions. I switched some answers I probably shouldn’t have. I’m expecting a decent result, though.</p>
<p>Writing: I pretty much just went by my ear because I didn’t prep for this section. Somtimes it worked for me on the practice tests, 730+ and sometimes not <400. Needed to study this section more. I had a writing experimental too, so it was super stressful taking these 35 question sections.</p>
<p>massgirl, for the farmhouse question, what did the author say about the country side, the one with the farmhouse makes the country side look more elegant as a choice. Do you think that section was the experimental one?</p>

<p>You do know that the CB reuses test question from previous tests for at least 2-3 times right? By your logic, we should accuse everyone of checking if they actually STUDIED for the test using the bluebook. Do you think that the CB does not know what they are doing? BTW, there were two different versions for cr and math. One of the CRs seem to be extremely harder than the other, is this unfair for the people who had the pleasure of taking the harder one, like me? So stop posting these comments on how its unfair, no one can cheat or remember ALL of the tests they take anyways, unless they have a photographic memory, which would already mean that they can get a 2400.</p>
<p>After taking all of the QASs from the previous year, I can agree with some of the above poster’s remarks.</p>
<p>(All below are based on personal experience)</p>
<p>Math- Math was “harder”, meaning more time consuming, than average compared to previous QASs. When I finished each section I had about 5-8 mins left to go back and find mistakes, other times I found myself with 10-12. The concepts were not harder, but the combination of them were more time consuming.</p>
<p>Writing- Standard prompt, I like it better than others because taking the negative meant you thought people are selfish by nature. I love how I had another writing right after the essay so I knew it was the Exp. section, I could relax better. Writing was a little “harder” than others, but overall the curve should work out.</p>
<p>Reading- I had the one with “coming back home to the country” version. Reading I found to the very easy compared to past QASs. The Sentence Completion- I remember sitting and thinking…“Direct Hits”…best investment I could have made. It was worth the 26 dollars.</p>
<p>Overall I can say I did better on this SAT than most QASs, but I will wait for the 23rd to find out.</p>
<p>meitou, i said that it “enhanced” it or something. i remember it was choice E. i have no clue if that was the experimental one. do you remember any of the scs for that one?</p>
<p>Remember that you don’t lose points for the grid ins questions… I missed 2-3 grid in answers but it’s okay. I hope I have 6XX</p>
<p>yulli0210,</p>
<p>I can see that it would be unfair. But remember that the Nov. 2005 test was not a released QAS so the amount of people who memorized it are slim. In addition if they had access to Nov. 2005 then I would imagine they had other QASs. That is a lot to remember.</p>
<p>Meitou- If you mean the one with the girl coming back to her father and step-mom’s farm, then no it was no the E-Section. I had it on my form and my E-Section was a writing.</p>
<p>So in a worst case scenario I’m looking at a 1900, best case 2050? Should I be confident in saying that I will get a 2000? That would put me right on target for UT Austin.</p>
<p>Anyways 1620->2000 should be an overall good improvement.</p>
<p>You don’t lose points for the grid ins if you leave them blank you mean?</p>
