<p>so I was wondering what you guys are thinking you got scorewise. Theres been a rumor going around that one wrong on math is a 750 this time. A college board official on the west coast apparanetly misspoke he said, but still he could just be saying that because it is true. 750 damn im freaking out ! Also i think three wrong in writing will be a 690 , which sucks casue i think loads of people got the three wrong (i.e. those whon said hisorically, those who didnt say the two of them both, and those who said broadly speaking). But i think i got them all right so ill be ok.</p>
<p>What about you?</p>
<p>OH no, that is unprecedented. I hope that the guy was lying when he said -1 would be 750, but who knows. Nonetheless, it wouldn’t surprise me. I’m expecting minus 1 to be 750. It’s a good thing I made sure I used my calculator this time on math section.</p>
<p>Where’d that rumor come from?</p>
<p>Ok whatever, I’ll just take it again. I know I got one wrong but 750 is still a fairly decent score.</p>
<p>but the two of them both is wrong, and broadly speaking was correct</p>
<p>EDIT: after reading arguments for both sides of these controversial questions… wow. Collegeboard is evil. Tricky test!</p>
<p>Stop trying to foolishly deceive people. If you’re gonna do that, give us a link/evidence to the slip up by an official. Regardless, im pretty sure they couldn’t possible know the “curve” yet.</p>
<p>I know, the writing was tough, and 50 off for one point in math is so mean.</p>
<p>Can’t tell if you’re trolling. If you are, good work.</p>
<p>I’m merely voicing what loads of people have heard. I hope its wrong but damn 750 :-(</p>
<p>its rough but think on psat one wrong on writing was 740</p>
<p>The reason psat curve is so bad is because theres one writing section with no essay. If you miss a question in writing on the PSAT, its brutal. This does not correlate to SAT…and who is telling you this information…you’re being so ambiguous about it.</p>
<p>dude why are you so aggressive and evasive? I think ik a lot more about sat than you…</p>
<p>im scared. i cant afford to throw away 50 points on one problem</p>
<p>The curve doesn’t depend on how badly people did the test. The curve is set before the testing day. The curve depends on how many people are taking it and which people from different schools/parts of the world take it. </p>
<p>I know this because I know a person who is connected to Sparknotes (a lot of test makers in Sparknotes are from ETS) and he told me…</p>
<p>I think -1 wrong = 750 math is ridiculous, just saying.</p>
<p>Sorry to randomly add to debate here, but ‘broadly speaking’ is most certainly incorrect. I don’t even understand why people arw arguing out that. The passage stated that librarians did not want people to look at their old manuscripts, and that most people would not need them. ‘Inexperienced’ college students, IN PARTICULAR, would have no use for the books.</p>
<p>*are *about - forgive my bad phone typing</p>
<p>I’m sorry to fuel this debate again, but I am 100% sure that “broadly speaking” was correct. “In particular” did not fit in the context. I agree, it was a tough question and I’m sure many people got it wrong.</p>
<p>If someone could remember exactly what was written ---- perhaps it would make more sense. According to how skylimits wrote it, “in particular” is correct.</p>
<p>Ok, let me walk you through the question.</p>
<p>So you had to revise a portion of the third sentence. For instructional purposes, lets just look at the second sentence (the one that preceded the third). It went something like this “Librarians… conservation was better than use.” Basically, the second sentence had no mention of people. If “in particular” were right, then it would have had to mention people in the second sentence — it would have to had go from broad to specific. But it didn’t. </p>
<p>The reason “broadly speaking” is correct is because it makes one recognize that the author was making a pretty big generalization. He was NOT singling out inexperienced college students in particular.</p>
<p>I am not sold at all on broad generalization. Sorry, but it makes no sense. If “in particular” is also wrong, then the answer must have been nevertheless.</p>
