SAT SCORING June 2008

<p>Anybody know the scoring on the SAT reasoning Math section June 2008. my child got 2 questions wrong and he omitted 1 question on this section. He recived a raw score of 51 out of 54. This seems correct. The question is how did he only end up with a 720 on Math. Could the curve have been this tough? I connected college board and they said a hand scoring would be $50. I do not need this rescored. I want the conversion chart.</p>

<p>Yes, this is not a mistake. Same score I got on that section.</p>

<p>That test was easier than most so the curve was unusually punishing...</p>

<p>I got 4 wrong and omitted 2 and recieved a 710.</p>

<p>But that was not on the June test.</p>

<p>It sure was the June test. The only explanation I can think of is that several of my incorrect answers were grid-ins. However, the score report does not have a seperate section for grid-ins, so there is no way to know.</p>

<p>I got 4 wrong, 0 omitted = 710. So....yeah, it sucked.<br>
For the rest of your life, doing something to that degree of efficiency (both quickly and correctly) is awesome. Apparently not on the Math section lol</p>

<p>Missing 4 isnt "correctly" doing something. Getting 4 wrong is actually pretty bad. Especially since it is so easy to get the math right. Its really simple math and the time constraints are so lenient it isn't even funny.</p>

<p>4 out of approximately 50? You have obviously never stepped outside of your front door. Or outside of a testing facility. Whichever.</p>

<p>If our government was 92% competent, the time-space continuum would implode.<br>
The vast majority of tasks in one's life, if done 92% correctly, will be rewarded with ridiculous amounts of praise (and sometimes monetary bonuses).</p>

<p>Also, you're an as/shole, but that's slightly unrelated to the logical flow of my argument. I don't suppose that matters, since you never learned logic anyway. You just practiced taking a bubble test for 30 minutes+ a day for a few weeks (I took the SAT without ever even glancing at a prep book or a single math practice problem), while simultaneously selling your soul (and your intellect) to a God/Demon named Societal Norms. Burn, baby, burn.</p>

<p>QED?</p>

<p>Are certain questions weighted...or curved more/less? Because my D made the same as the OP...51/54, with 2 wrong, 1 omitted...and scored 750.</p>

<p>Hmmm. She missed one "difficult" and omitted one "difficult" in the first section, "Numbers & Operations." And she missed one "medium" in the last section, "Data Analysis, Stat & Probability."</p>

<p>1 - 2 questions separated. 40 points worth of gap. I hate the SAT with a flaming passion haha.</p>

<p>oh, and for those who were undoubtedly wondering, QED stands for "quod erat demonstrandum"</p>

<p>Perhaps for some...but for others CR is a walk in the park.</p>

<p>Don't spit on others who don't necessarily have the same apparent God-given test taking abilities as you. You're coming off as a pretentious jerk.</p>

<p>^ agreed. Also, I'm willing to bet my shirt that he/she doesn't even have God-given abilities at all. Like I explained in my mini-rant (lol) many SAT-acers spend hours of their lives practicing. Losers.</p>

<p>Yeah, a 710 is pretty pathetic. I'm so devestated over those 6 questions I missed. I don't spend my life preparing for the SAT, and neither should anyone else. In fact, I never studied for the SAT at all. There is so much more to do in high school. I'm sure that your higher SAT Math score will help you become a much more successful person in life. If you're an adult, you should be ashamed of yourself for coming here *<strong><em>ing on high school kid's lives. If you're a kid, get some friends and quit being a perfectionist. *</em></strong>ing prick.</p>

<p>That's SAT math curve for you...it's always brutal. That's just the way it is...</p>

<p>I got a 770 with 1 wrong and none omitted on the March test (not exactly the same, but a similarly brutal curve). Going off of that, if you just eliminate a couple more raw points you end up with about a 720...</p>

<p>^lmao exactly, soxfan.</p>

<p>@TXArtemis: the questions are not weighted; a hard question is worth the same as an easy one. However, an incorrect multiple choice answer is -1.25 points, whereas an incorrect grid-in is -1 (and an omitted answer is always -1).</p>

<p>These data for the June curve seem inconsistent ... if you took the June 2008 SAT, please post your raw score (out of 54) with your scaled score (instead of #wrong).</p>

<p>Please remember that the 'curves' for different versions of the test will vary, as the difficulty of the different versions won't be the same.</p>

<p>^My understanding was that tests given on the same day in the same country are all the same except for section re-arrangement, but then again I could be totally wrong. I realize that a much smaller number of people take the test on a different day due to religious observances etc. and it makes sense that that test would be completely different. Anyone have better info on this?</p>

<p>I think some are completely different. (I'm intel, so my experiences don't relate to yours - but anyway...) If you go look back at the threads for say, the June SAT, there'll be probably multiple threads for diff versions (not including the intel one).</p>

<p>As I took the SAT last December, for the first and last time, I'm a bit rusty on the latest news so I do apologise if I'm propagating incorrect information.</p>
