<p>Anon: Not really.. I took some Q & A's and some Blue Book tests and consistently score better on the previous released tests.. it might just be me though..</p>
<p>Anon: I just looked at the Oct 07'.. you can get 4 wrong and still get 700..if you get 4 wrong in the Blue Book then your score would be 710 (middle of the range)... not much difference there buddy...</p>
<p>im aiming for at least 2150 or a 2100
700 M, 700 CR, 700 W
or higher :). Ive been practicing lots of vocabulary so i hope it will pay off.
Question- How many questions can i skip/miss PER section to get a700 in each one?</p>
<p>i have come to the conclusion that there are no curves after comparing my Q & As to the CB practice test score conversion table and getting the EXACT same score even with my essay combined with my MC and MC raw by itself. </p>
<p>smoda61- I didn't say the March curve was harsh, just the math section's curve in general, ie. -3 will give likely you a 720. The Math curve is harsh compared to Reading, where -5 or 6 would give about the same score.</p>
<p>But last year's March test had a harsh curve, if that means anything.</p>
<p>From what I've heard, no month is proven to be a better time to take than any other month, but my cousin says that the December and January test dates attract a lot of last minute seniors - usually kids that are (for a lack of a better word) stupid - resulting in an easier curve.</p>
<p>ServeDin14- Sorry about that. I think I have March SAT on the brain. I read Math as March. But thank you for responding and clarifying things for me.</p>
<p>alright, well i'm still scared as hell.</p>
<p>a) why do you think the math curve is so harsh?
b) how is the essay scoring in comparison to Advanced Placement essay scoring?</p>
<p>gah... i just got my essay DESTROYED on CC... stupid collegeboard essay grader for boosting my confidence...</p>
<p>Apparently, from what I've learned from a thread today, the essay grader is just some computer. Obviously, the grade would be unrepresentative, which is why I'm currently putting essays on this forum.</p>
<p>I always screw something up on the Math test. Never received an 800 on that section before in my *life<a href="or%20at%20least,%20under%20fair%20test%20conditions">/I</a>. Wish my CR score would go up...</p>
<p>I know some people say this is bad for you, but I always find myself studying more and more, desperately trying to cram last minute vocabulary and test strategies into my head during the last week/few days.
A lot of people say that it's bad to study a lot the night before, but from my last SAT experience (December 2007, 2180 total), I just couldn't relax!</p>
<p>Does anyone have advice on how to efficiently study and yet RELAX before the SAT?
Is it even possible to do both? Haha.</p>
<p>I'm really really hoping for a 2250 this time. I think if I manage to get that I will just give up on SAT1. I need my CR to go up (690 last time) and my Writing to STAY up (770 last time).
:(</p>
<p>Let's see... I've studied over the past months (at least two), although a good portion of those months were with the use of a Princeton Review online course and the Barrons 3500 word list. I think in terms of "important progress," I guess I'm almost cramming... :P I do plan to relax this Friday, as much as is allowed...</p>
<p>Lemme know how the Barron's word list helps- I'm studying it right now for the June SAT. :)</p>
<p>4 more days...
I'm scared.
My goal is a 2250
800M 700CR 750W</p>
<p>It's great that you're studying the word list in advance, Butternut. 3500 words is obviously a lot. I'm not sure if it's 100% effective, but let's say due to my two runs through the book (the first run focusing on the "easier" and frequently-appearing words, the second run focusing on, well, all... yeah, not the most efficient), words have passed through the "filter" in my brain! Yay...</p>
<p>You may find some words that you may not wish to spend too much time on. Those are usually nouns that are specific to something, like... "holster."</p>
<p>I just noticed that both Barron's and Gruber's have 3500 word lists. Do you think they're the same?</p>
<p>This is my second time taking it</p>
<p>In January 08 I got a 2120:
790 Math
670 CR
660 Writing</p>
<p>I am shooting for a 2200:
780-800 Math
660-700 CR
700-740 Writing</p>
<p>Is there any truth that the March test is so much easier to score well on than the January test?</p>
<p>Ive heard the curve is ten times easier</p>
<p>Is there any truth that the March test is so much easier to score well on than the January test?</p>
<p>Ive heard the curve is ten times easier</p>
<p>.... no none whatsoever.. if the curve is a little more generous, that just means the test was slightly harder than past SATs.. how many times is the question going to be asking? jeez...</p>
<p>so nervous...geez i should be studying....</p>
<p>can u explain me please a little about this exam and what subjects am I tested in or if I must pay to take it...???</p>
