SAT Score Report Shock!!

<p>Alright so the score reports are out for the November 5th SAT exam and I am outraged at my Critical Reading score</p>

<p>When in the world of SAT has 5 wrong in CR been equal to equal to a 710 -_______-</p>

<p>I got 1 sentence completion wrong and 4 passage-based reading questions wrong (most likely from the politics passage) </p>

<p>I really don't understand, what kind of curve would do this, It should at least be a 730</p>

<p>I sat the international one by the way.</p>

<p>Wow I’m so sorry; I took the October SAT and got 5 wrong on the CR and got a 760.</p>

<p>lucky you! it seems the curve for this test was harsh even though most persons didn’t find the CR section easy. Well i guess that doesn’t matter considering the curve isn’t based on test-takers performance but on the level of difficulty CB determines it to be. And apparently in their eyes this CR was easy-__-</p>

<p>Through some research, it would seem that the curve went like this</p>

<p>-1 = 800
-2 = 780
-3 = 740
-4 = 730
-5 = 710 -__-</p>

<p>I am def resisting in January!! I feel so cheated.</p>

<p>i feel you bro also had -5 and a 710 whereas last month i had -7 and a 700 pretty bogus…</p>

<p>In the may SAT i had 3 mistakes in writing and got a 710. These things are not uncommon. But really as long as you passed 700 you should be fine. Resitting would just seem petty</p>

<p>Wow. The curve is really based on CollegeBoard’s assessment and not on actual performances? I didn’t know that. I think the reading section works the same way for ACT.</p>

<p>I believe the curve is based on the experimental section. The experimental section is used for correlating with past SAT performance, for centering the bell curve so to speak.</p>

<p>And the essay score should have a lot to do with the 710 score in writing with 3 wrongs in multiple choices.</p>

<p>My essay score was 9. I believe the essay section, as well as the methodology in grading the essay to be flawed.</p>

<p>Math curve was somewhat terrible. I have 2 omitted and no wrong questions - 740! I’ve never seen anything like this before…</p>

<p>-1 math was 780</p>

<p>2 wrong on math was a 760 this time…</p>

<p>^Wow… How many math questions are on the test? (I took the ACT…)</p>

<p>I also was a victim of this ridiculous curve. Missed 3 for a 740…</p>

<p>idk why CB decided to screw over the intl Nov test takers, I feel soooooo cheated <em>sigh</em> I’m def going back in January with a vengeance! imma tear that test up (figuratively, of course)</p>

<p>Oh. I didn’t take the international test. My test was the one with the Negative Campaign Ads passage (I think we called it Test B on CC). Regardless, this curve came out of nowhere. The common consensus seemed to be that the CR portion of this test was harder than usual…</p>

<p>For me… First time: -2 → 780. Second time: -4 (or 5?) → 780. Whatever.</p>

<p>hmm it seems they were trying to punish Nov test takers. The CR curve was def a shocker especially coming from that extremely generous curve n Oct</p>

<p>If -2 is 760, how come I got 740? On my score report it says 52 correct, 2 omitted.</p>

<p>I have 2 wrong and got 740 too, it cant be 760.</p>

<p>-4 = 730 CR
-2 + REALLY STINKING GOOD ESSAY = 760 W (w/ 9 E)
-9M = 650 (ACK)</p>

<p>The essay was graded unfairly. I looked at the rubric, and I was a 10+, AT LEAST.</p>
