<p>@dhizzy look it up.</p>
<p>" The difficulty of the test is determined by The College Board through comparisons with previous tests. You can read about it more on the official website, but the bottom line is -this is not something you should be worried about."</p>
<p>All other SAT prep sites say the same thing.</p>
<p>actually, i realized i made a mistake on the free-response of the math… so here is the new one. can you guys please tell me what you guys think my scores will be now? (remember the missed question is on the free response, so idk how much that will impact the score.)</p>
<p>CR: 3-5 wrong
Math: 1 wrong
Writing: 0-2 wrong w/10 essay</p>
<p>You can’t lose points on the free response questions.</p>

<p>@TheCalculator one of the math ones I got wrong was grid-in, does that change anything?</p>
<p>It doesn’t because you still got a raw score of 53 which is the same as someone who got -1 on the MC which is 52.75 which rounds to 53.</p>
<p>@TheCalculator help me out…
math omit 4 + 1 wrong (2 of the 4 omitted were grid ins)
CR 6-8 wrong
Writing 4-6 wrong with 9/10 essay</p>
<p>Guys! This is pretty accurate! (compared it to my past SAT’s and it gave me the scores I received)
Ah, forgot they did that to links. Lol.
Okay, forget it. >.< But basically the college panda is quite helpful. <em>sigh</em> </p>
<p>@dhizzy Totally agree with you. The sentence completions were, in my opinion, the easiest I’ve ever seen in 15+ practice tests (except for the luminary one), and the passages were really straightforward in general as well. That said, the ambiguity among answer choices is driving me crazy… idk, it just feels different than previously administered tests for me. And @Jarjarbinks23 Yeah CB says the curve is predetermined, but I’ve always heard that they adjust curves after they get the results. The practice tests from the blue book, for example, give you score ranges. If CB can determine the curve based on a test alone, shouldn’t those tests also have specific curves? I feel like I’m obsessing over my scores now, and this is driving me crazy… first-timer here and really hope it gets better :(</p>
<p>Hi, so back to the CR one about the parents using the yellow book, i saw some people said the answer was “arbitrary”, and i put frivolous. I just searched it on dictionary dot com, and arbitrary is a synonym for frivolous. Is dictionary.com wrong or is the answer something else?</p>
<p>@TheCalculator Do you really think the curve will be that generous? I thought those scores would result in around a 2250… Or am I just being too pessimistic? </p>
<p>@TheCalculator Sorry if this is a repeat post. I thought I posted this already, but the site bugged and here I am typing this again… Anyway, wow, the scores you put for me seem really generous. Do you really think the curve will be that nice? Because I feel that my mistakes warrant a score more between 2250 and 2300, but you claim that it could even go up as high as 2300. o.o</p>
<p>Sorry I am new to cc! But could you predict my score, @TheCalculator ?
About 10 wrong critical reading
About 7 wrong math (omit 4)
About 7 wrong writing (8-10 essay range)</p>
<p>Uhmm guys I’m no sat predicting guru lol it’s flattering but you can get accurate approximations by searching 'sat score calculator the college panda '… </p>
<p>@IAmTheGOAT my predictions aren’t the least generous lol. In contrast, they are realistic. My curves are literally the same as numerous administered tests </p>
<p>I hope to god that I get a 2300 lol. </p>
<p>@eteceric
arbitrary: adj. based on random choice or personal whim, rather than any reason or system
frivolous: adj. not having any serious purpose or value; (of a person) carefree and not serious</p>
<p>I suppose they’re interchangeable sometimes, but they definitely have very distinct definitions :)</p>
<p>@sodone yeah i guess they are different, but they can mean the same thing so how does college board decide when two words are synonyms or not? o.O </p>
<p>@eteceric I put the frivolous, but in hindsight, i think it is more arbitrary, but in reality, those words could actually be interchanged. if they dont choose to mark that as an invalid question, then arbitrary is the right answer (unfortunate for me), but I really hope they see that this was a very ambiguous question. you can contact ets if you really want to. i heard that someone else already did that for a problem, and ets said that they were already on an investigation or something. </p>
