<p>i got a 780 CR, and 710 math on the old SAT, and im planning to take the new one in oct but am wondering how my old scores will factor in?
thanks!</p>
<p>theres no such thing as CR on the old sat...there was Verbal (V). Also, the math section is changed.</p>
<p>They are different tests. Similar, but different, thus it seems like common sense to me that one cannot mix scores between tests</p>
<p>yea, but both scores are normalized. and on the page where it shows your scores(score report) it has a note that CR/Verbal are comparable(so is the math on old, new).</p>
<p>I agree that the sentence completion questions feel a little different than on the old test, but your score is still based on bell curve(~99.5 percentile = 800, ~95 percentile = 700, ~83 percentile = 600, ~50 percentile = 500(It's actually a little higher)).</p>
<p>The new writing section though, is NOT comparable to the SAT2 Writing. The curve for SAT2s are not on a standard bell curve(they assume smarter ppl are taking sat2s, and the curves are much more leniant). Hence, an 800 Math2c is only 90 percentile and a 790 Chinese is like 63 percentile or sumthing around there.</p>
<p>The new sat writing curve probably has the same score distribution as math, CR as shown above.</p>
<p>As per the original question, Cornell will mix and match...or so they said at the information session.</p>
