Physics/ Math 2 curves?

<p>I was looking at the Sparknotes website, and it says that for the:</p>

<p>Physics subject test, getting 66/75 is an 800..
Math 2 subject test, getting 43/50 is an 800..</p>

<p>I was wondering how accurate these numbers are, if anyone knows?
(I took a physics practice test and only got 3 wrong)</p>

<p>Well, I’d say the Physics is a bit off. In the CB SAT Subject Test book, the Physics curve is 59/75=800. The Math 2 is about right. In the CB book, it is 44/50=800.</p>

<p>59?!?! that’s ridiculously easy! o.o</p>

<p>damn, it’s past the time when I can edit :P.</p>

<p>^ sounds cocky, it wasn’t mean to be o.o… just that, getting 59/75 is not that hard at all. meh</p>

<p>i thought it was 63/75=800 for physics… curves shift and 59/75 might be risky, but 63/75 will almost guarantee 800</p>

<p>But remember, these are raw scores, not number of questions right.</p>

<p>You can get 63 questions right, but if you answered all the rest, you’ll get off 1/4(12) = 3.
So the raw score will only be 60.</p>

<p>If you get 59 right but you answered all the rest, your raw score will be 55.</p>

<p>So, yeah I agree, the approximate raw scores are:
Math II: 44-46 = 800
Physics: 59-63 = 800</p>
