What a nasty curve for the Oct. 11 SAT (USA)

<p>Here's what's on my report:</p>

<p>-3 CR: 760
-3 omit 1 M: 700</p>

<p>Math is bad, and CR is tragic. Wow. I told you all that we had to have gotten wrecked in CR but no one believed me :(( </p>

<p>@BassGuitar‌ Do you mean -3 raw score or 3 questions incorrect for CR?</p>

3

<p>@Dilan412 I missed 3. </p>

<p>Yea, seriously! I’m so upset about math. 3 wrong is 730??? What the. Just taking it again later and getting the same number of questions right would get me a higher score.
Writing too. I thought I got a lot of questions wrong, but I only missed 3 questions. My essay wasn’t great (9) but only a 710? :/</p>

<p>@BassGuitar‌ missing three questions gives you a raw score of -3.75 which rounds to -4. Given this table</p>

<p>a -4 raw score averages around a 770. So, a 760 isn’t really so tragic of curve.</p>

<p>BTW the reading score is a great score and you should be proud!!</p>

6

<p>I know I shouldn’t complain because I still got a 770, but I only go one wrong in math and every time I look at like Harvard or Stanford’s high math score it says 780 and I’m like I got one wrong! It was the stupid scale! </p>

7

<p>Also, @ShipAlreadySank‌ and @BassGuitar‌ a 730 in math with a -4 raw score is average as well. </p>

8

<p>@Dilan412 Ahahaha, oops I’m stupid. I forgot to account for the -.25. What about the writing curve? It could have been more lenient, no? </p>

9

<p>The writing curve was so crappy;/ Not even funny</p>

10

<p>I omitted three and missed one for math --> 720</p>

<p>doesn’t that indicate a pretty good curve?</p>
