SAT March 10 2012

How are you guys preparing for the March test?
Do you think it will be a lenient or difficult curve?
Do you know where I can get old practice SAT tests from online?

Lots of people have said that the March SAT is usually the hardest.
I'm debating whether or not I should take it, seeing as I got a good score from the January 28th one..
You can buy the blue SAT book from Collegeboard and solve those-- they are legit SAT questions that Collegeboard writes itself. Or you can go on the collegeboard website and solve the practice test on their website.

So even though the test may be really hard.
Will the curve be very very favorable? Like ex. -1 or -2 in math is 800?

I just hope it's medium.

I'm contented with my math and writing, but I really want a superscore of 2300+, so I'll have to raise my CR another 150 points or so.

No way will math be -1 or -2 = 800. That would be a very easy curve. Not possible.

Since the test has a possibility of being hard, then the curve will be in our favor so maybe then in math, -1 = 800, while -2 = 780 or 790.

I thought the curve worked like this:

Hard Test = Favorable Curve
Easy Test = Strict Curve

Is anyone doing any last minute prep for the March 10th SAT test?

For -1 to be an 800, the test wouldn't really be in your favor, the difficulty of the questions could very likely throw off your perfect score. Even "hard" tests aren't usually -1 800 so expect really hard problems if you're hoping for -1 to be 800. And -2 is almost neeever 780 (almost).

Anyway, yea, I'm studying DH book 2 atm as last-minute prep... I need to bring my reading up !!

So, are you thinking the January test was easier or harder than the March test will be?

I believe the March test will be harder than the January 2012 test.
What was the curve for the January SAT 2012 test?
I also need to bring my reading comprehension score up.
