OCTOBER SAT Subject Test: Chemistry

Test Preparation SAT Subject Test Preparation
21

<p>I seem to remember reading somewhere that they copied the wrong table into the blue book for the chemistry section, and that the curve is quite a bit more generous than it says. Just my 2 cents.</p>

22

<p>I REALLY needed a 700 at least, but I did miserable. Anyone have any idea what a score would be with about 15 blank and maybe 5 wrong?</p>

23

<p>I believe the actual curve is probably around 3-4 wrong for 800. </p>

<p>I didn't leave any blank on this test, but I did wish I had more time. I had no time to check over my calculation problems, so I most likley missed 1-2 already. =/</p>

24

<p>Skipped none, and not sure, but I may have done 0-5 stupid mistakes</p>

25

<p>How many TTCEs did everyone get?</p>

26

<p>I don't remember the exact number but it was around 3 or 4.</p>

27

<p>i think i got 2...
but i skipped 2 questions in that part</p>

28

<p>I took the Chem SAT last May. I got at least -6 and got an 800. </p>

<p>The curve in the CB Blue Book is far harsher than the test I took...maybe that helps you guys!</p>

29

<p>yeah I got like 3 or 4 TTCE's</p>

30

<p>tell me if i'm anywhere near the ballpark:</p>

<p>i left 6 blank, and a max of 16 wrong (probably less, but let's round up just so i can be pleasantly surprised). That would leave me at a raw score of about 54.</p>

<p>According to sparknotes, that would give me a scaled score of about a 630??!!</p>

31

<p>are we allowed to discuss specific questions, if so what were people curious about</p>

32

<p>what causes global warming? i put sulfur</p>

33

<p>What were the choices for global warmning? My question is, which of the compounds listed decomposed most readily? o.O</p>

34

<p>Sparknotes has a TERRIBLE curve. I never scored higher than 680 on it, and got 800 on the real thing LOL</p>

35

<p>i think i put acetic acid for the one that decomposed readily.... idk. more context?</p>

36

<p>^ so hypothetically speaking, what do u think i'd get? if I missed effing sixteen?</p>

37

<p>Let me put it this way...I missed 29 questions on the last Sparknotes test I took and got a 600. </p>

<p>SO I think you probably have 700+</p>

38

<p>i think trying to predict our scores right now is sort of pointless because the curves generally vary a lot from test to test, year to year, month to month. i think it would be more productive to go over specific questions and what people got on each of them.</p>

39

<p>some people still have not taken the test</p>

40

<p>^true. i almost forgot</p>
