***Official Oct 2014 SAT Curve and Score Predictions (US ONLY)***

<p>Can someone predict my score?
Math: - 1
CR: - 3 (maybe - 2)
Writing: - 2, 10 Essay</p>

<p>I thought March had easy math, may had much tougher math, june easier and october harder. kinda like a pattern? My thought is 1 wrong in math is a 780 2 wrong 760 3 wrong 730 4 wrong 710 5 wrong 690.</p>

<p>^fairly accurate. Harsh curves are by no means unheard of but I doubt the math for this test to be harsh. </p>

<p>Still praying we get a march math curve lmao… so unlikely but anything is possible at this point</p>

<p>Only thing that angered me on this sat other than my shortcomings in math was the prompt. While an easy prompt at first glance, using literature and historical examples was quite difficult to implement. I had universal examples at the ready to get that elusive 12 essay, but I had to abandon them for this essay to my dismay </p>

<p>I just fill in both pages completely and get a 10 every time, but i think i got -1 on the MC so i would really like an 11 lol</p>

<p>I filled the two pages also but idk.I rather have a 12 than a 10 if you ask me. This prompt was not the type of prompt to get a 12,unless you argued your pov very convincingly with eloquent language. Other than that, if you took the approach of using historical and lit examples, your argument would have look forced and awkward. Curse you sat for emulating ACT type of essays </p>

<p>Idk i usually get perfect MC on writing so i dont care that much about essay score lol but it didnt even occur to me that release from was wrong lol… so i think i need an 11 essay to get 800 again</p>

<p>release from is right imo</p>

<p>and i think we’ll get a march math curve</p>

<p>Yeah best case scenario release from is right, we get march math curve, and we get may CR curve</p>

<p>how did the may Cr curve go? and how hard was it?</p>

<p>I thought it was easier but i was also less focused on CR this test so i dunno… and it was 800 800 800 790 760 etc</p>

<p>Not positive this was it, but Im pretty sure one of my friends got -2 on CR and had an 800… but yea it was good</p>

<p>yeah, guys, people are released from burdens. Stress is a burden. Therefore you can be released from stress.
Still skeptical about that arbitrary critical reading one though :confused: . The guy chose the very first car dealership in the book. People said arbitrary is right because it means random. Isn’t choosing the first thing deliberate and not random? Its like if you asked someone to pick a random card. theyre not gonna pick the first card. But when you ask them to pick any card and it isn’t serious, then theyre gonna pick the first card. Frivolous means not serious, so i still feel the answer is frivolous not arbitrary ://</p>

<p>for sure, arbitrary is right and also i’m 99% release from is right, people are over thinking it </p>

<p>Don’t overthink; the Sat is not like the AP literature MC exam in which answers are ambiguous. There is always an acceptable answer but a much better answer. If you can discern which is which,you aren’t going to miss anymore questions </p>

<p>Can anybody explain their reasoning for the passage about smell where the guy was talking about how people use flavor and taste interchangeably? It was either to criticize the pervasiveness of an error in diction or to point out the prevalence of mistaken thinking. People seem to pick the latter, but why is it not the former?</p>

<p>it’s not an error in diction? idk i don’t remember the exact words but according to yours</p>

<p>Isn’t it though? He’s saying that people are misusing the word flavor when they really mean taste, because flavor is a combination of both taste and smell.</p>
