<p>I'm looking in the blue prep book for math II and am extremely surprised at the curve. For the two practice tests, 10 omitted is still a 760! (assuming that all the other ones were correct) Is this possible?</p>
<p>b/c today I omitted around 10 and am 100% sure of the other 40. so maybe i'm in the 700's?</p>
<p>Yes, a 6 omit is around a 800 if you get all the other right.</p>
<p>im really surprised everyone isn't getting 800's</p>
<p>We can't all be as smart as you, clout, unfortunately.</p>
<p>no no i didn't mean that in an arrogant way, I didn't do well. I'm just expressing relief because I think that the curve really saves many people who run out of time or dont know some questions, like me!</p>
<p>^ I didn't mean it in a derisive way haha. I was just surprised that you were surprised that 800 was not a common score.</p>
<p>I'm surprised that you're surprised that he's suprised that 800 isn't a common score.</p>
<p>The curve is so easy because the questions are harder compared to SAT Reasoning math and Math I and because most normal high school courses (and yes the SAT IIs were made for normal students not CCers who take AP life :-D) don't prepare students for every single question on the test and this is especially applicable to math and science which all have similarly easy curves. It just happens that there are way more "really smart" math people than "really smart" literature or something else and so on a forum where the average user would be classified as "really smart" the curve makes math II seem too easy :-D</p>
<p>Haha, yea, 800 is around 80 percentile isn't it?</p>

<li>Chinese is in the 50s LOL.</li>
</ol>
<p>Chinese is super intimidating when you're outside test taking and everybody's already speaking the language fluently in conversation.</p>
<p>LOL well that was half my point. That low percentiles don't mean it's really easy.</p>
<p>When I saw that 43/50... 86% = an 800, I was ecstatic. I thought for sure I'd be able to do it, seeing as I'm good in math.</p>
<p>Result today: 16 blanks, 5-8 wrong.
Is this like a 650?</p>
<p>I'm happy if it is.</p>
<p>never ever question curves.</p>
<p>anyone know the exact curve? I know if varies from test to test, but is it around:</p>
<p>miss 4 (no omits) = 800?
omit 6 (no miss) = 800?</p>
<p>I've read through a bunch of posts and I think this is the general trend. can anyone confirm this?</p>
<p>thanks!</p>
<p>the curve varies test to test but thats generally close anne</p>
<p>@ anne: Yeah, that sounds right. Even missing 6 or omitting 7 should be an 800 every month -- that's 43/50 raw -- and on some months, as low as 41/50 raw score is an 800.</p>
<p>I just found this thread-this makes no sense, then!
I omitted about 7-8 and probably got a few wrong, but my score was 640. Does this sound right? Should I order score verification services??</p>
<p>^That doesn’t sound right… but you may have gotten more than a few wrong. If you really don’t think you did, then go ahead and order score verification. </p>
<p>I omitted around 13, and got a 740.</p>
<p>rainbow, stop posting the same thing over and over.
you don’t know how many you got wrong yet.</p>
