<p>I know its different each test but anyone know the curves (how many you can get wrong and still get 800?)</p>

<p>Math IIC: around 6 wrong?
Math IC: Nothing wrong
US History: like 15 wrong?
World History: like 13 wrong?
Korean and Chinese: Everyone gets 800 so w.e.
Lit: 2 wrong?
Physics: 20? lol</p>

<p>anyone else know curves for other tests?</p>

2

<p>math I is usually 1 or 2
Bio is 2 or 3
Chem is usually 4 or 5</p>

3

<p>which bio?</p>

<p>i thought chem has a pretty good curve.</p>

4

<p>2 or 3 off the raw score... 2 wrong is 3 off raw score
Lit is 4 I believe</p>

5

<p>chem has a crap curve...i got a 790 and i thought i only got 4 wrong</p>

6

<p>oh that sucks..</p>

7

<p>4 is 5 off raw score, so that's the 4 curve</p>

8

<p>lol, Physics is like 7-9....no more than that...</p>

9

<p>really? i heard physics have good curves.</p>

10

<p>These are the lowest raw scores you need to get an 800, according to the Blue Book.</p>

<p>Math 1: 49/50
Math 2: 44/50
Bio E: 77/80
Bio M: 77/80
Chem: 82/85
Physics: 59/75
US History: 79/90
World History: 78/95
Lit: 59/61
Korean: 78/80
Chinese: 80/85</p>

11

<p>I don't know if physics is that hard...i thought it was 63/75......</p>

12

<p>yeah i thought i saw somewhere that physics has the best curve. so i guess i was right. thanks.</p>

13

<p>Physics is like miss 8- 10 questions..not minus 20.</p>

14

<p>I know right.....confusing me big time these people...who actually took the test got like 15 wrong and got an 800...??? no-one? okay thank you</p>

15

<p>My blue book says 59/75=800. This doesn't mean that you can make 16 mistakes. Are we forgetting the guessing penalty?</p>

16

<p>no we're not forgetting the penalty.......</p>

17

<p>US History is more like 8 wrong ( including penalty) not 15.</p>

18

<p>and 17 for world history...WOWZERS......</p>

19

<p>The curve in the blue book could just be for that particular exam, not for the test in general. I don't know...</p>

20

<p>This will probably sound like a stupid question but does anyone know why certain curves are more generous and others aren’t? I thought it might have to do with the difficulty of the tests, but most people say Literature is one of the hardest ones, and yet it has a very strict curve.</p>
