What's all the buzz about the May CR?

<p>I heard something about one of the passages being "subliminal", and I know what the word means, but can someone clarify on how the passages were? Was the CR easy, as in it will have a -3=800 score?</p>

2

<p>HAHA - Rahoul, I hope to god that -3 would equal an 800, has that EVER happened!? DAng.</p>

3

<p>Yes, I've seen -4=800, I think it was October 2007.</p>

4

<p>Nope, on Oct. 07 a -4 is 770.. you have to factor in the extra point taken off for every 4 questions wrong...</p>

5

<p>^ Dude, I got -4 and 2 omit and got a 690 on March... so, um, I don't know. :/</p>

<p>Btw, we weren't referring to the passage itself as 'subliminal'... the passage was ABOUT the 'sublime'...</p>

<p>The Oct. 07's curve was much more generous than march's... I know I got a 690 on March too... I think every test has slightly different curves though..</p>

<p>I've also noticed that CR curve is almost always more lenient than the Math one.
Math is too darned harsh.</p>

<p>Yeah....but Jan 08's curve was really nice lol.. For math you could have gotten 5 wrong and still have had a score of 700... I think that is pretty much as good as it gets.. generally 5 wrong and its down to 690/680..</p>

<p>I dodged March, as in I signed up for it and delayed it to June at the last second, and it turned out to have the harshest curve I've ever seen for Math and CR. I chose June over May because the extra month meant more words to memorize, but I still feel that I should have taken it. Oh well, I have an extra month, but that means one more month of waiting for what could be a 52" Samsung LCD TV(if I get 1400) had I taken it in May lol.</p>

10

<p>Well, the March test had a somewhat nice math curve.. the CR curve was ridiculous though...</p>

11

<p>True, math is usually pretty harsh. What do you think the CR will be this time? -4 = 770 still? That wouldn't be TOO bad. I'd still break a 700 w/ 10 wrong then? LOL. That'd be insanely nice.</p>

12

<p>^ LOL, we're in the same boat.</p>
