October 2010 CR SAT Thread

<p>Calculate your own scores instead of asking for help… </p>

<p>Math:
54-Omitted-(wrong<em>1.25)= raw
CR:
67-Omitted-(wrong</em>1.25)= raw
Writing:
49-Omitted-(wrong*1.25)= raw (that’s 70% of you’re writing. The other 30% is the essay)</p>

<p>Go to that Google Docs link and find your raw score on the column. I’d say this math was fairly easy, the CR was pretty hard, and the writing was average… but who knows how CB will do the curve.</p>

<p>If anyone was curious, this was one of the radio passages I think:
<a href=“The Politics of Freedom: Taking on the Left, the Right, and Threats to Our ... - David Boaz - Google Books”>The Politics of Freedom: Taking on the Left, the Right, and Threats to Our ... - David Boaz - Google Books;

<p>i understand that every question wrong means 1/4 point off. does omitting answers play any part in the raw score? do you guys think it’s better to guess or just leave the answer blank? or do they both of them produce the same raw score technically?</p>

<p>

What was the exact wording?</p>

<p>@clauxy - 2 wrong with 3 omits would be probably be 760-770</p>

<p>why would you multiply the number of wrongs by 1.25? isn’t it just .25 off for every question wrong?</p>

<p>Yes. If you omit a problem you lose one point from the raw. If you get it wrong, you lose 1.25. </p>

<p>Use this Google Doc to calculate your score.</p>

<p>Can someone calm my psyche? For the art critic passage i put some answer that was like it reveals the author’s close relationship to the critic. Was that the anecdote question? I really hope it is so i just got that one wrong and not a scantron mishap.</p>

<p>Yes it was the anecdote question. </p>

<p>You say you think you only got that one wrong? What did you put for the existence of trojan war question? Probably or probably not?</p>

<p>what was the answer to the last one about the mother/daughter
the last sentence implies that rose?
rose understood her daughters something
or the daughter decided not to do the story</p>

<p>can someone else confirm that you lose 1.25 for every question you get wrong? i’m pretty sure it’s only a 1/4 of a point.</p>

<p>What exactly did the anecdote introduce?</p>

<p>It introduced a concept, namely the whole discussion about the nature of writing</p>

<p>@overrated</p>

<p>say you get five questions wrong on the CR. You multiply 5 x .25 and add that number to the five you got wrong which gives you -6.25 and a raw score of 61</p>

<p>@overrated By not answering a question, you lose 1 point; by not answering a question correctly, you lose an additional .25 points, which accounts for a total of 1.25</p>

<p>No, iforgeteasily, just on that one reading section i mean lol. For the record i did but probably did happen. The author’s tone throughout the whole passage clearly shows he believes it happened, and is ALMOST trying to convince you that it did without being so direct.</p>

<p>@iforgeteasily But was that what the choice said?</p>

<p>@Overrated </p>

<p>It’s not that you lose 1.25 points, its that you DON’T gain the 1 point for answering the problem correctly, and you also lose 1/4 of a point. Think of it as starting at 0, and for every question you get right you get a point, the total of those points being your raw score.</p>

<p>@metsrule You’re wrong. The author’s tone is negative towards the existence of the trojan wars.</p>

<p>Can anyone remember the exact wording of the “journalists” possible answer choice?</p>
