Question about Oct14 W Curve

<p>Missing 3 MC = 71 MC score</p>

<p>Is that reasonable?</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>What was your essay score?</p>

<p>I got a 9 on the essay (so one person gave me 5 and the other a 4) and missed 4 multiple choice for a raw score of 44. I was looking at official Blue Book score range; for a 4 essay, the score range for a 44 is 660-790, and for a 5 essay, the score range is 690-800. I thought the score is supposed to be in between these score ranges, but I ended up getting a 690 on the Oct SAT. That seems very unreasonable.</p>

<p>No, like even without my essay, miss 3 = 71 MC. Is that reasonable?</p>

<p>to me, it really doesn't seem reasonable, but i guess the curve was extremely harsh this time.</p>

<p>but thats your raw score? that doesnt seem reasonable because the curve doesnt anything to do with the raw score. mine was miss 2=76 MC (raw score w/o essay).</p>

<p>yea, I have the same 3 errors = 71. I suppose they were just extremely harsh this time</p>

<p>It is, but I find it interesting that 4 wrong, 0 omit = 70.</p>

<p>2 errors, 0 omit= 76....ouch, that's a big drop afterward.</p>

<p>four wrong was a 70 MC.</p>

<p>I would say the curve isn't reasonable, but that's how College Board works!</p>

<p>5 wrong is a 68.</p>

<p>I mean I got a 45 raw due to missing 3 and the -3/4 -> -1, but the difference between 2 raw points = 50 point drop?!?!?!</p>

<p>in april i got 4 wrong so that ends up being a -5 and a 9 essay. i got a 700</p>

<p>in april i got 3 wrong and a 9 essay and got 720</p>
