Sat II Approx Curves

<p>hey everybody.. i wud really appreciate if ppl whove given the IIC,IC,lit,chemistry n physics cud gimme some more info about the curve. i think the info is on the curve.
i wud like to know how many questions u can miss for a 800 , how many u need to answer for a 700 and so on.</p>

<p>so far ive heard that for lit a raw score of 60-61 out of 61 gets 800, for a 700, a raw score of 44 is enough , and for 600 you need 33. </p>

<p>thanks again..</p>

<p>IIC (out of 50) a raw score of 43 is an 800, 33 a 700.<br>
IC (out of 50) a raw score of 50 is an 800, 38 a 700.<br>
Lit (out of 61) a raw score of 56 is an 800, 44 a 700.
Chemistry (out of 85) a raw score of 78 is an 800, 60 a 700.
Physics (out of 75) a raw score of 63 is an 800, 45 a 700.</p>

<p>Note that all of these are based on curves given in the Real SAT II's book released by the College Board for old tests. Where did you get your info about curves because they seem different from what CB says?</p>

<p>i got it from somebody on CC who says that she has given the test.. TruthSmoker wen u say 43 out of 50 on IIC do u mean we gotta avoid attempting those 7 questions or even after gettign those wrong u can get a 800??</p>

<p>On the IIC, you take the number of problems you got right, and then subtract 1/4 the number you got wrong. So that 43 is the number with the incorrect answers subtracted, your "raw score." For example, you could get 44 correct, miss 4, and leave the last two blank, giving you</p>

<p>44 - (1/4)*4 = 44-1 = 43 :)</p>

<p>TruthSmoker - do you have the curves for US History & Bio? I went to B&N yesterday for the Real SAT II book but they didn't have it. =(</p>

<p>I have the book at home, I'll look it up in a couple of hours and post for US History & Bio.</p>

<p>I'll save you the trouble : ).</p>

<p>US History (out of 90) 81 raw is an 800, 63 a 700.
Bio E (out of 80) 73 raw is an 800, 59 a 700.
Bio M (out of 80) 74 raw is an 800, 59 a 700).</p>

<p>Thanks TS - much appreciated. =)</p>

<p>is it just me or are those curves a bit liberal especially compared to SAT 1... what bout 800 and 700 on the SAT 1 MATH AND CR???</p>

<p>The SAT II curves seem very liberal to me compared to the SAT I.
On those it seems like if you miss one or two questions you are down into the 700's pretty fast.</p>

<p>TruthSmoker - any chance you could post the curve for World History? I'd really appreciate it! Thanks!</p>
