Today's SAT

<p>We're not allowed to talk about specifics yet right? Can I say that I thought the math today was very hard? If I get a 750 in CR and writing but only 650 in math (or worse) could I possibly get into NYU Stern or another school which wants 1400? The only time I can take it again is May and it's right after my 2 AP tests so I won't be able to study. June is SAT IIs. October is too late.</p>

<p>Im in multivaribale calculus. I got a 5 on the BC exam. i got a 800 on 2c's.</p>

<p>I've taken 20 SAT practice tests. This math was. hard. there were 2 problems i just flat out cudnt do.</p>

<p>I was thinking the same thing. Math was REALLY hard, especially one section. The one with the grid-ins I thought was especially difficult; I left 5 blank in that section and guessed on most of the grid-ins because you cant get points off on them.</p>

<p>I realized this morning that I had been doing my practice scores all terribly wrong and so I have no real marker to judge by, but I would guess 680-720 CR, 700-730 CR and maybe 620 math.</p>

<p>Is it possible that the grid in section was experimental??</p>

<p>Is it possible they would curve it? I'm not sure how that works. I think I left at least 5 blank and probably got a few wrong (it's all a total blur). Could i possibly get a 700?</p>

<p>according to (one of the) PR scales, out of raw 55, a raw 40 is a 660, a raw 43 is a 720. dont remember any of the rest.</p>

<p>i'd say that if they curve it (hopefully they do) then you could get a 700 or above.</p>

<p>Yea, the grid-in section was bad. The problem with the chairs and the two girls was hard!</p>

<p>i thought so too. completely guessed on it though becuase you cant get it wrong</p>

<p>i thought the writing part was very hard...</p>

<p>What was the essay. I have to get more practice.</p>

<p>i thought the whole test was harder than usual, writing and reading included, but math was just ridiculous. hopefully theyll curve generously to maintain 50% at 500.</p>

<p>you can not mention specific essay topics until scores have been released</p>

<p>I've been just using the College Board Blue Book and the way I figure it out of 54 questions in order to have a scaled score of 670-730. I think this means that on that test you would get a 700 but would get between 670-730 on other tests you could 6 points off which would be 5 wrong and 1 off for wrong answers or 6 left blank or 6 grid-ins wrong, etc. Please tell me I'm wrong.</p>

<p>im not familiar with the college board book. that sounds like an estimate to me.</p>

<p>as far as i know they curve it so that 800 is 99.9th percentile and 500 is 50% percentile.</p>

<p>i only have three sections of math on my test</p>

<p>does that basically mean that theres no chance of an experimental math section?</p>

<p>was the girl/chair , cant be in the same row, or cant be same row and column?</p>

<p>well...everyone might have different forms...</p>

<p>wouldnt that be unfair?</p>

<p>I thought the math was easier than the Feb. 28th one. I was flying through it. I actually finished the Grid-Ins one-- I didn't do that last time. Actually, I finished all math sections.</p>

<p>I was soaring through the SAT sections (except the last three-- I just lost focus, esp. on that friggen CR one... I hope I didn't bomb that one).</p>

<p>Did anyone else get a writing section where you kept getting a lot of the same answers? (Ex: Lots of Bs, Cs, etc.) Because I did...</p>

<p>I thought that one of the Writing sections was experimental... because that would mean that there were four including the essay.</p>

<p>i'm glad that i'm not the only one.</p>

<p>that math was repulsively, sickeningly difficult.
the writing was alright.
cr got progressively harder.</p>

<p>the test in general was just....hard.</p>

<p>oh well.</p>
