what is UP w/ the curve????

Test Preparation
1

<p>dude...i got 3 wrong for math and that translated to a 720?!?!?...
***..
and only 4 wrong for writing was a 70...=.=
god..CB can just go to hell...</p>

2

<p>Seriously 2 wrong 1 omitted for math=740
BUT 2 wrong 1 omitted for verbal=790</p>

<p>Yes I know there are many more verbal ?s but seriously</p>

<p>And for writing score, no comment. I guess my 150 boost in CR and V was offset by my 100 pt drop in W.</p>

3

<p>Even with the sadistic curve on the math section, there are a lot more math high scorers than verbal high scorers. I wish they would make the math harder.</p>

4

<p>1 wrong verbal = 790
4 wrong math = 690</p>

<p>for my scores anyway. none omitted.</p>

5

<p>4 wrong M (-5 raw) = 720
2 wrong M, one omit (-3 raw) (in June) = 720</p>

<p>4 wrong CR = 760</p>

6

<p>You are kidding right, sljaegar?</p>

<p>There is no way 1 wrong/0 omit for reading gets you a 790.</p>

7

<p>How did ritaka get 4 wrong = 720 and sljaeger 4 wrong = 690...</p>

8

<p>different versions of the test = different curves</p>

9

<p>1 wrong and 0 omit got me 800 CR. everyone said my test's CR was f-ing hard, so maybe the generous curve is fair.</p>

10

<p>2400SAT...what was your strategy for CR?</p>

11

<p>I am pretty sure the typical CR curve is 1 wrong for 800. On more difficult tests the curve has been 2 wrong for 800.</p>

12

<p>2 wrong writing MC= 75 </p>

<p>?!?!</p>

13

<p>4 wrong on math= 700
6 wrong on CR= 720
7 wrong on W (9 essay)= 660 (this is <em>(&</em>#(*&@#$)!!</p>

14

<p>Dude...3 wrong on Mc = 71 MC score? ***??</p>

15

<p>wow fullcollapse how did you go from a 640 to 790???</p>

16

<p>got 2 wrong...on math..760....man...I love math IIC......</p>

17

<p>On my score report it says that there were only 48 MC W questions, but in the Blue Book there are 49.</p>

18

<p>2 wrong and 75 MC for writing is really ridiculous
On the PSAT I missed two on writing and got an 80!
On my last SAT I missed 6 MC but still got a 68.
How can the tests vary that much?</p>

19

<p>It depends heavily on the students taking the test. After the entire summer to study for the SATs, the test taker's own ability has improved, which may facilitate a harsher curve.</p>

20

<p>I read that that is not true, and that the curve isn't based on the "test takers' ability", but is set before the test is adminstered.</p>
