What????? Confused.

<p>In the Blue Book, I realized that they dont give exact numbers for the scores. They only give a range. I know this is because of the curve, but should I just take the score in the middle of the score range?</p>

<p>The score range was 720-800, so should I assume it as a 760?</p>

<p>someone earlier said a good method they'd devised was... </p>

<ul>
<li>take the lower end of the range for CR</li>
<li>middle of the range for math</li>
<li>writing was too varied (esp essay) to calculate or something</li>
</ul>

<p>So I got a 760. (Math). I guess that's good for an 8th grader.</p>

<p>...W T F...eight grader?</p>

<p>rich kids......</p>

<p>760 for an 8th grader?</p>

<p>You must be very smart..........</p>

<p>Oh.. Gee thanks. Rich kids?
I'm not rich at all. I happen to have a few books that I study with. Idk how that comment is supposed to make me feel good..</p>

<p>Lol thanks mtn. dew</p>

<p>does anyone else have a method they use??</p>

<p>Wow, 8th grader! Your way way ahead of the game. Some of the topics on the SAT aren't taght till grade 11. You sure youre not cheating yourself with time?</p>

<p>Lots of schools are having young kids take them. I took it (the real one) when I was in 7th grade.</p>

<p>A number of seventh and eighth graders take it every year to apply to talent search programs, such as CTY.</p>

<p>I first take the highest on the score range and add it up with all the other high score range things... like,
m 700-800
cr 500-600
w 600-700</p>

<p>So, highest score range: 800+600+700 = 2100
And then I get all happy and stuff</p>

<p>And then I add the lowests: 700+500+600 = 1800
And then I get all sad.</p>

<p>I dont really know how that's supposed to help but I guess the 'lowest' one will help you in the preparation of waiting for the scores to come out..(so you dont get all shocked and stuff if you get 1850).. yeah i dont think i make sense. bye</p>

<p>Lol.. no I don't cheat myself with time.. I actually finish the sections 6-8 minutes early.. then go back and check.</p>

<p>anyone else??</p>

<p>yeah i did that too. but i only had enough time to go back and check the first half of most sections.</p>

<p>some teacher said in one of the threads:</p>

<p>Take the lower end of the range for CR
Take the average of the lower end and the median for W
Take the median for M.</p>

<p>According to that teacher, this method is the most accurate.</p>

<p>bump bumpity</p>

<p>(10 char..)</p>

<p>Why do you keep bumping this? You got your answer. Do you want us to give you a hand job because you're an 8th grader who got a 760?</p>

<p>And I know what yall are thinking, of course i'm bitter, when I took the real SAT in 7th grade I got a 500 on the math.</p>

<p>my opinion is to take the lower end of all three section. This will mentally prepare you for what score you will get. If you give yourself a high score on practice test and you see the real result is low, then you will probably be ****ed. However the converse is not as bad.</p>
