October 2010 SAT - General

<p>The test is in 9 hours...
I feel like crap: This week is the homecoming week, so today we did a huge parade float - required a lota work. I was at the football game till 11 pm. And we have a homecoming dance after the test tomorrow :(</p>

<p>I hope the experimental section will be writing.</p>

<p>Good luck nerds.</p>

<p>I’m supposed to be at the foot ball game
since im in cheer
but i really dont care right now
S.A.T. in like what 12 hours</p>

<p>Do you guys think the curve will be very strict on this test? Because almost all the national merit semi/finalists are taking the test. ALL 19 in my school are taking it tomorrow.
Usually only 25-30 people take the SAT each time at my school, but tomorrow there are 49.</p>

<p>The curve is already determined, so the quality of students taking the test can’t change the curve. I expect this curve to either be easy or average.</p>

<p>^ Why do you expect the curve to be so?</p>

<p>Bleh, I had a deadline night for Journalism and stayed at school until 11pm yesterday…
Not ready!</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I highly doubt that. Source?</p>

<p>i thought that the curve was based on how students perform on experimental sections? Maybe im wrong</p>

<p>How do you know what the experimental section is going to be?</p>

<p>Logically, the curve is determined after the test. They will calculate the percentages and then make the curve.</p>

<p>^ No it isn’t. The curve is pre-determined. Lmao. It says somewhere on the Collegeboard website.</p>

<p>@TRUFF - Nothing too logical really. I’ve just noticed a pattern with the curves.</p>

<p>@Wes - You can’t really determine that until after the test.</p>

<p>@web - Wrong. Refer to my link.</p>

<p>@turff, whats so damn funny?
@boston, thank you! i feel much better now.</p>

<p>The curve is predetermined by the scores of SAT-takers two years ago, not by this month’s test-takers.</p>

<p>Ohhhh great…</p>

<p>Boston, where on that page does it say that curves are pre-determined? I really don’t have the time to read through everything.</p>

<p>Is that site even official?</p>

<p>It just states the typical curve, not the curve for this month and i think that the site is also not official.</p>

<p>Finished it an hour ago - just came home :)</p>

<p>Just finished it too :frowning: I might as well register for retakes now.</p>
