<p>I took the SAT june 2011 International and I just received the score report. Is it possible to get 740 on Math with just one mistake and one omitted question???</p>
<p>Does any of you have a similiar situation or could it be a mistake from the College board??? Please I need to know so that I can do smth about it...</p>
<p>no you must have read it wrong becuase even i took it and i know for a fact that 52 out of 54 = 760 on the June test. 100% confirmed</p>
<p>The March SAT math was -2 overall= 740, and since you have an international test I can’t say I’m surprised. I doubt it’s a mistake.</p>
<p>International June test is all the same. for math, I miss only 1 Q and get 760. So no mistake. It’s just curve.</p>
<p>The international tests are generally different from the US tests, although I believe that in May they are generally the same (this is the only international QAS month). The int’l curve for June was apparently 800-760-740…, which is definitely very harsh but it has happened before.</p>
<p>nooo… i ttook the june interantional test and i got 690 for 49 outta 54. it was my friend whom i was talking about who got 2 wrong and got 760 on the same test!</p>
<p>Does the international curve vary much from the American curve? It was my understanding that on the AP exams both Form A (national) and Form B (international) were on the same curve. Is this not true for the SAT? and what about the ACT?</p>
<p>I don’t think it would be fair for SAT to use a separate curve for an international testing as the sample from which the curve is created would be much smaller and much more rigorous than the American one (SAT internationally is a much more “elite” test than it is in the USA). Personally I have no qualms, I did fine except for writing, but it would seem unfair for CollegeBoard to curve the two differently without clearly mentioning it on the report.</p>
<p>I think the curves for international students are different. In the Jan test, I made 1 mistake and that was from grid ins, so my raw score would have been only 53. Yet, I got 760.
However, I think 740 for 1 mistake is very harsh, since even for internationals, the curve is sometimes 780 for 1 mistake.
But I doubt it’s a mistake.</p>
<p>760 for one mistake is common on the Math section. I doubt that is because you are international. I really want to find out if that is the case, would be interesting and pertinent to know. It really is unfair if it is, though. The kind of students internationally that take the SAT are of a much higher caliber than the average American. When colleges already have a different standard of evaluation for international students it seems as an unnecessary addition to use a different curve.</p>
<p>I got a 760 as well for having 1 mistake in June’s SAT I. Before I saw my full report, I thought that I had around 3 mistakes. But who knew it was only 1.</p>
<p>My theory of why the scoring went from 800 for perfect then 760 for at least 1 mistake was because the Math section had only 1 “difficult” problem. But I really found it unfair. I mean, seriously? 760 for 1 mistake?? It really makes my score look bad.</p>
<p>I just checked how many difficult problems were there on the Math section. There are 16 difficult problems 23 medium questions and 15 easy questions…</p>
<p>hey ppl the international version of the sat in the each month is different from the us version and hence the different scoring curves!!</p>
<p>
The international students have a different curve only because they have a different test (to prevent cheating due to difference in time zones, I suspect). Curves are decided before the test is given - that’s why you have experimental sections. So internationals aren’t at any disadvantage in this regard.</p>
<p>Different tests for us internationals !! Really !! I thought they are the same as the one’s in the US .
And a curve !!! What !!! I thought your score is your score without any curves or so .
Can’t wait to finish the SAT cuz for me English really sucks , Math is a peice of cake however .</p>
<p>I knew the tests are different. I was under the impression they were designed under the same curve.</p>
<p>The collegeboard NEVER makes a mistake. Remember that.</p>
<p>^They do, just not that often. (Actually, the ETS makes the test for the College Board.) On occasion, questions on administered tests have had to be dropped due to (for example) two answers that could be considered correct.</p>
