<p>This last October saw a math curve of 800,800,780 and it was pretty hard math.</p>
<p>from my perspective, i think this curve could be lenient; even with up to -2/800 on the Math (and trust me, this has happened before; an example is on the last test of 10 Real SATs). There were a lot of high calculation questions with an even higher chance of making those "small errors." And to the biased opinions of them "smarter-than-American-because-they-take-Calculus-in-the-Canadian-curriculum" Canadians, they found some concepts of the test tricky. And I believe many right now have expressed this test to be harder than usual (what with the rates question, and the many counting). Meh.</p>
<p>adidasty, maybe you could share with us the hard questions that were shown on the October SAT? maybe give us a lil' idea of where the rest of us January takers stand now.</p>
<p>holy crap.
i can't look at this anymore. the verbal section KILLED me. ::goes and cries::</p>
<p>Its disperse....the question was something about the gov't needing to disperse funds to help some projects or agencies....I'm 80% sure about it being disperse</p>
<p>i got this test.</p>
<p>is it really greet? i put provide. =</p>
<p>and i thought the goal of mission was to explore the environment of other planets or something like that</p>
<p>mine was something like:</p>
<p>Jackson emphasized that the university needed to ____ its economic resources for important funds.</p>
<p>"marshal" means to gather up-- so wouldn't it be to gather up its economic resources for the improtant things? not "disperse" the funds for everything, which is like spreading everything really thin.</p>
<p>greet and provide were for 2 different questions. Greet was with Embrace and Provide with offer.</p>
<p>omg ok im geting nervous about what all i put! when do they post the scores on cb again?</p>
<p>Feb 4 online but some people said you can check Feb 3 and it might be on.</p>
<p>How well did the testmasters vocab list predict the verbal section on the Jan. 22 test?</p>
<p>There is a post on this......FIND IT!!!!!!! it worked the best, wow. i couldnt believe it. i used barrons 3500 too, which was intimidating.</p>
<p>What about the math problem that went like square sides extended through vertices...it made a tic tac toe and it wanted the number on NONOVERLAPPING regions...does the middle count? i put 9 cuz i believe it does...</p>
<p>i dont know. how come everytime i check with ppl online, it seems i got so many wrongs and i dont even remember some of the answers... :S how many wrongs can i get on this one and still get 700+</p>
<p>You may want to save your energy. It is impossible to predict the curve and all speculation is ... well just hollow speculation. </p>
<p>FYI, the curve is established ahead of time and is based on previous results. The curve is NOT based on the students who take the test on this particular day. So much for the theory of juniors or CTY munchkins boosting the curve.</p>
<p>no harm in hopin (and getting stressed in the process). anyhow, if the curve is indeed established ahead of time, and if this test was considered hard, then there can be some guesses as to how we currently stand <em>stressed looks</em>.</p>
<p>Established ahead of time? Awww so I was hugging those little kids for nothing!</p>
<p>haha jk. <3</p>
<p>i think it's marshal</p>
<p>also, that math one was really weird.. was that in the supposed experimental or no? i didn't get what the question was even asking.
cuz tic-tac-toe thing.. doesn't that count as just one region?</p>
<p>zxe: in that case it would be marshal, but i think the sentence was a little different</p>
<p>i think it was more:</p>
<p>Jackson emphasized that the university needed to ____ its economic resources to increase funding for certain programs.</p>
<p>what was the question for the answer 3/4? was that the card question?</p>
