<p>-5 (4 wrong) = 730.</p>
<p>Taking the test, I thought that CR was only a little bit easier than average. But it looks like we had the worst curve in several years if I'm not mistaken.</p>
<p>Considering -2 was a 790, this is the worst CR curve in recent history.</p>
<p>
…That sounds terrible.</p>
<p>Although, I do have to say, I thought the CritRead was the easiest section of the entire SAT. :\ Easier than the math, grammar, and the essay.</p>
<p>Yea, the curve killed me :/</p>
<p>I got -4 (3 wrong) and I got a 750. If I had gotten two wrong, I would’ve gotten a 790…40 points for one question :(</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>That just sounds ruthless, and I feel sorry for the people who lost 40 points for something like a bubbling error, or for running out of time, or for something annoying like that.</p>
<p>Ouch was it that bad 
Why is that way, I have never exactly learned why the curve varies so much. I got a 660 on it, not as good as you guys. Good job though :)</p>
<p>big dreamer, how many did u miss. I missed 10 questions for a 65 
epic fail</p>
<p>1 question wrong for an 800</p>
<p>lol even though I did bad (680) this thread makes me feel good because that means the curve MUST be better in March, making my 720+ much more attainable.</p>
<p>Will the curve really be better in March? How does one know when the curve will be better?</p>
<p>I’d be so happy if the curve was better in March. It will be my first time taking the test (aside from numerous practice tests).</p>
<p>3 questions meant a 750. i was expecting a 770 or something because i knew i got 3 wrong before hand so that was pretty unexpected D:
I actually thought the cr for this test was harder than the one in december so i was expecting a similar or better curve. darn vocabbb why does my memory suck i can’t memorize vocab words</p>
<p>-40 for one CR question is outrageous. ETS statisticians should be ashamed of themselves.</p>
<p>3 wrong with 1 omit gave me a 730 also. What has the curve been like in the past?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>It isn’t really because of merely one question; rather, it is the cumulative effect of incorrectly answering three. It is harsh, though.</p>
<p>Wow that is harsh, how many questions were actually tricky? I got a 740 on the December SAT CR with -5, 0 omit.</p>
<p>^The ETS “guessing penalty” assumes that students are guessing. However, students scoring above a 700 rarely make random guesses. At this level of achievement, the “guessing penalty” is really a means of lowering the scores of top students. A -40 for one question is unprecedented and totally unfair.</p>
<p>The more I think about this -40 because of one wrong answer the angrier I get. The “new” and not improved College Board site ought to have a feedback spot where students can voice their complaints.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>First of all, nice name lol 
I made a mistake, I got a 650 on CR. I missed 10 as well. Hey we epicly failed together lol! :o</p>
<p>This curved was really bad for me because I usually don’t get any passage-based questions wrong, even on supposedly “hard” CR practice tests. So with -2 SC off of some pretty stupid, read-the-question-and-choices-too-fast questions, I ended up w/ a 790 Cr and 2390 overall. Oh, so close…</p>
