<p>I don't understand how my SAT Math score was calculated compared to my old SAT score. In October I scored a 620 on the math section. I got 41 right, 6 incorrect, and omitted 7. Oddly, I scored lower (I got a 610) on the SAT I took in November but I technically did better. In November, I got 44 right, 7 incorrect, and omitted 3. My raw score was a 42 which should be about a 640. Can anybody tell me why my score went down although I did better? </p>
<p>I’ve heard from other CC threads that the November test was easier and its curve was more harsh than normal, which likely explains the lower score.</p>
<p>yes i heard some people dropped to 750 with only one wrong on the NOV SAT.</p>
<p>It was the curve. Its not an error. I got a 590 on math. On an average scale, I would have gotten a 630. The curve was very strict.</p>
<p>I got 6 wrong and 3 omitted on the May 2014 SAT and got a 640. In November, I got 6 wrong and omitted none. I got a 650. I know, it stinks. I got 3 more correct answers than last time and only went up 10 points. I didn’t go down, at least. Funny thing was, I went from 650 to 700 in CR, and I scarcely studied at all. I did a lot better on the Nov. CR than on the May though, so it wasn’t just the curve pulling me up.</p>
<p>Yeah. The curve was crazy. Last time I took the test (March) I got a 680 for missing five and omitting two (raw score 47) and this time (November) I missed one and omitted two (raw score 50) and got the same score. It’s disappointing, to say the least, because I should have gotten in the mid 700s. It would have made a real difference in applications. </p>
<p>The curve was harsher for this test since it is easier than the average test.</p>
<p>I got a 620 on the June and Nov SAT, I had a one point higher as a raw score on november though.
43 and 44</p>
