<p>I think its CR because some of the questions can be subjective (and its also because its the one I struggle with the most)</p>
<p>But Math is tricky because one careless mistake brings you down from an 800 (most of the time), but -1 in CR is still 800.</p>
<p>I actually don’t understand the curves…why is -2 sometimes still 800 on CR but -2 in math can be like 740? If its because math is a lot easier, why doesn’t CB make it harder (or make CR easier -> which would really make me happy)?</p>
<p>Sigh, CR is definitely the hardest ever.
Most of the passages are sooo boring and meaningless.
Math is definitely the easiest. I got a 790 in 8th grade.
CR = Uber hard.
W = Still kind of hard.
Math = Uber easy.</p>
<p>I’d be most impressed by a CR 800. (I might be a little biased 'cause I have one lol.)</p>
<p>I go to a public school full of rich kids who moved their because their parents wanted the good education system. I and one other person are literally the only people I know of in my grade of 310 who didn’t have a tutor or prep class. I’ve heard of people getting writing and math 800’s, but the CR seems harder to crack.</p>
<p>I think 800 in CR is the most impressive. I got an 800 in W but I think that’s the least impressive which is probably what colleges think too since a lot of them don’t really pay that much attention to the writing section…unfortunately.</p>
<p>Math, even though most people can get the same score in 9th and 12th grades, barring the extra time they have in between said grades to practice for the test itself.</p>
<p>CR is a test of attention span and W is just realizing that all you have to do is write fast enough to fill up your test booklet entirely and memorize the 12-13 grammar rules that the MC covers every time without fail.</p>
<p>800 CR by far.</p>
<p>The problem with the Math is that it’s incredibly basic. It tests algebra and geometry, and its “tricks” are minor.</p>
<p>definitely 800 cr</p>
<p>800 CR is the most impressive because, in my experience, 800 CR people tend to be pretty smart cookies. It’s tricky to get 800 CR no matter how you slice it, imo. It requires the most careful attention, but with so much to read, you do have to be fast. And yet, you have to perhaps look into a greater level of detail and think more than you would at Math or Writing.</p>
<p>800 W is alright, but like Dwight said in a previous post, all you really have to do is write something coherent and fill up all the space, and memorize the rather small set of grammar rules that the tests cover every single time. It’s not like you’re going to get thrown a curveball. There are only so many rules you can make questions from, haha. A little prep makes Writing VERY easy to score 750+ on once you see how it’s structured.</p>
<p>800 M is still nice, and it’s easy to get if you’re careful. Even with prep, it CAN be hard to get if you’re nervous or too fast or if you simply make a careless mistake. 800M, to me, says “I’m careful and I don’t suck at math.” The math itself is easy, but one wrong answer completely rapes your score. 800M requires you to pay close attention so you don’t make any dumb errors.</p>
<p>I very much like legendofmax’s description of the situation. Let’s also keep in mind that CR requires an 800 scorer to have a great vocabulary. Even if you study words for weeks or months before the test, you could easily get a couple you don’t know and not score an 800. </p>
<p>Math is exactly like that. Plenty of people score 800s on Math 2 and not on this section of the SAT even though it covers simpler material. This is because one must be very careful. I know there are others like me who missed one question (which in my case wasn’t even a hard question, it was a medium and I made an error in arithmetic) and scored a 750.</p>
<p>The W multiple choice is very simple. Although I think the essay is graded far too arbitrarily, one can score an 11 or even a 10 and still get an 800.</p>
<p>Michael Crighten was a science math guy.</p>
<p>800 on sat 1 math and 800 on sat2 math is the most impressive.
do alot of people accomplish this?^^</p>
<p>More people achieve scores of 800 on the SAT I Math section than on the CR section.</p>
<p>IDK, scoring an 800 on M seems impossible for me. I think scoring 800’s on WR is all about knowing a set of rules.</p>
<p>Writing - questions are straightforward, which means that knowing the rules and writing a few practice essays can guarantee an 800. Of course essay scoring is variable and subjective, so although in theory getting a perfect is easy, in practice it’s difficult.</p>
<p>Math - questions involve basic algebra, geometry, and statistics, although they differ from writing in that they’re not as straightforward. This means that although rules play a crucial role, abstract thought is necessary as well. </p>
<p>CR - There are no real rules involved in the CR section. Sure, you can learn to identify where certain points are made, but ultimately CR requires you to take all the information you read and analyze it independently, without memorizing and applying rules. </p>
<p>This is why I think CR is the most impressive.</p>
<p>CR</p>
<p>I didn’t read any of the posts on the thread, but I’m pretty sure CR wins by a big margin.</p>
<p>There is a lot of luck when it comes to CR because no one knows every English word, so you have to get a good test and be a good guesser sometimes when it comes to the obscure vocab they threw on.</p>
<p>I got a 720 on my first attempt and an 800 on my second…it’s not like I improved my critical reading skills in a few months. I just got a test that happened to have more words I knew.</p>
<p>someone should tally all of these responses (one vote per screen name).</p>
<p>i think 800 W is the toughest.
i’m stuck at like 670!</p>
<p>800 M isn’t too bad, i got it on the last SAT, but all i did was check my answers over, and over again.</p>
<p>Considering I got an 800 in math this year (freshman) and only a 640 reading and a 590 writing, I’ll say Writing is most difficult.</p>
