Your SAT Score, March 2011

<p>so as I mentioned earlier, I got
Math 790
Writing 800
CR 740</p>

<p>but then looking through other people’s scores and remembering the March CR Answers thread, I realized that apart from the 1 I know I got wrong, I got legit the exact same answers as some of the people who got 780s+ on these boards. Is there any way for me to see the answers I put/the right ones when the official answer reports come out next week? Or should I do the answer request form through College Board? Because usually I do much better on CR and a little worse on math, so I was shocked by this grade. And as I said, looking through these scores I know I put the exact same answers as some of the top scorers in CR. Is it possible there could have been a problem with my answers (graded wrong electronically/ shifted down by one/ or something?), because I’ve heard it’s not all that uncommon. Anyone have any suggestions?</p>

<p>^Same, pretty sure I only got 2-3 wrong in CR, yet my score says 5-6 wrong…</p>

<p>it was the curve guys. -3 was a 740. it was legit the worst curve in CR history.</p>

<p>3 wrong that is not -3
800
800
780
760
740 (***!)
BTW got same exact score (like in all the sections too) as Born2dance, weird eh?</p>

<p>First time: 2370
780 CR
790 Math
800 Writing (10 essay/missed 1) </p>

<p>I was extremely surprised because I usually score around 2200 on practice tests, and my PSAT scores weren’t as high (19x as a sophomore and 225 this year as a junior).</p>

<p>2290 </p>

<p>800 math
760 writing
730 cr</p>

<p>Should I retake? I’m looking at northwestern, duke, Cornell, upenn</p>

<p>What’s the point of saying ‘first time’ in front of your score?</p>

<p>^To boost one’s own ego and feel superior over people they don’t even know.</p>

<p>1st attempt</p>

<p>CR: 520
M: 530
W: 450
Essay: 6</p>

<p>1500!!!</p>

<p>LEGGHO!!</p>

<p>did you write 2 full pages? they judge it based on qunatity</p>

<p>Yeah…My family and friends are thrilled, but I was pretty horrified at my score. I got a 212 on my PSAT (76 CR, 61 M, 75 W), so I was expecting to break 2000 the first time around. My projected score band was 1940-2230, but I only made 1930.</p>

<p>CR: 710
M: 560
W: 660 (68 MC, 8 essay)</p>

<p>I really didn’t think that I got so many CR and W questions wrong. I knew that math was going to be horrid, but I was expecting a 600. I was expecting a 740 CR, 600 M, 720 W, so… Oh well… The June SAT will have my name on it.</p>

<p>Oh, and all of those people complaining about >2200s can shut up.</p>

<p>@elizaruns. thanks for that. that is what I usually do but i was a little stressed for the SAT’s so i looked at the question instead of reading the passage first and i think that threw me off. I plan to retake in in May to get my score closer to a 680 or so, so that i can have a better chance for the colleges i want. thanks for the help!</p>

<p>2300
Math-800
CR- 700
Writing- 800</p>

<p>should i retake?</p>

<p>2200
Critical Reading: 710
Math: 760
Writing: 730 (76 MC / 8 Essay)</p>

<p>I’ll probably retake, since I know at least my Math/Writing can improve.</p>

<p>how the heck if 2300s and stuff make up like 1 percent of the country can there be SO MANY people say they got above a 2300 on this forum. It just does not make sense. And i don’t get why you all post your scores. No one even responds to each. Maybe im bitter because everyone at school and home was applauding me for a 2030, but then on here i feel so bad. You guys got to stop complaining about a 2280 or 2380!!! I know you all have certain goals to reach but there’s a point where we should all be grateful for the natural intelligence we were given to be able to achieve such outstanding scores.</p>

<p>@NeedsHelp A 2030 is AMAZING! Honestly, great job!!! If you tried your best, no matter your score, you should be happy, proud, and just plain thrilled that you accomplished something that for some people is a humongous source of stress their Junior year.</p>

<p>The only reason I was mildly upset with my score was not because I didn’t think it was high enough (I’m frankly ecstatic and even a little bit shocked), but because my “strongest” area was what I ended up doing weakest in, and as I said, I recalled getting the same exact answers as some people who scored higher in that section (CR) so I was just confused.</p>

<p>But seriously, no matter one’s score (even though yours is actually really, realllyy good), unless that person knows they didn’t try their best for some reason on this test or they’re confused by a possible score discrepancy (like I kinda am), no one should be truly “disappointed”/ “complaining” about what they got.</p>

<p>@NeedsHelp1212, it’s because those who join CC are a self-selective group of students who genuinely care about college. Here, you’ll generally find only the top students.</p>

<p>2320
CR 800
M 790
W 730 (79/7)</p>

<p>I have NO idea what happened on that essay. I thought it was a really good essay, too.</p>

<p>Whatever, I don’t care. I am SO DONE with the SAT. I’m really happy and thankful!</p>

<p>wow! how did so many people do soo well?
You guys are complaining about not breaking 2200?
I’ll be lucky if I break 1800…</p>

<p>@NeedsHelp and others thinking the same thing:</p>

<p>I said this on last month’s SAT thread, but I feel like I need to say it again.
Failure is entirely subjective.
What may be outstanding for one person is terrible for another. Those who score on the lower side and are unsatisfied are often upset with those who seem equally unsatisfied with higher scores because of course, such complaints make the low score seem even worse. But the inverse is also true. Someone who scores high, but not high enough, usually hates being told to stop complaining (just as much as those who score lower hate to hear them complain) because it’s like being told to lower his standards when there is nothing wrong with them.</p>

<p>In short, we are all entitled to feel however we’d like about our scores, and we may judge others for feeling a certain way, but we shouldn’t bring those opinions here. The last thing I want to hear when I’m already upset over an SAT score (or any test grade, for that matter) is people telling me to shut up.
