everyone is predicting ridiculously high writing scores. Probably going to be a mega-harsh curve.

Like 10 and -0 could be a 780

@accordingtome: use https://satonlinecourse.collegeboard..._2010-2011.pdf for a good estimate.

My predictions:
Math: -3 raw, 740
CR: -7 raw, 730
Writing: -2 raw, 11 or 12 essay, 780
TOTAL: 2250?

10 and -0 is almost ALWAYS an 800...usually 10 and -1 or 11 and -2 is a 790 too...

Math: 720-750 (-3? I'd like to hear people's opinions on the math curve.)
CR: 800. None wrong that I've seen thus far, and I'm thinking the vocabulary would buy me some wiggle room on some comprehension question that I haven't seen.
Writing: 800. The MC was preposterously easy, and my essay was good. At the very LEAST, I'd have a 780.

Best of luck to everyone!

Math: -1 (Stupidity, un-freaking-believable)
CR: -1 definitively, up to -3 or -4 if the questions up for debate (i.e. actual vs. heartfelt vs. natural in censorship passage, purpose of third paragraph in gardening passage, statement author would agree with in cybergossip passage, etc.) don't fall my way.
Writing: 10-12 essay, -2 MC.

Realistic to hope for a 2350?

^ Possibly. I skipped 3 and got 1 wrong on Critical Reading in March and got a 740. As for Writing, I did get an 800 with an 11 on the essay and -2 MC. It's going to be hard to get the 800 in math with a -1 also.

If you were wondering, with the scores above and my math score I got a 2340 (800 math, 800 writing, 740 CR) in March. I think that you have a shot at 2300+ but if you get a few more wrong in math you're done.

Also, I didn't take the June SAT 1 (that would garner some hate haha) I'm just visiting

Well based on https://satonlinecourse.collegeboard..._2010-2011.pdf

CR: Definitely 2 vocab wrong. Possibly one CR passage wrong. Assuming things don't go my way -5 questions for a -6 raw : 740. (730-740 on previous administration. Assuming things go swimmingly, -2 for 800 and maybe -3 or -4 for: 800-760
Math: So far none wrong. counting on one stupid mistake though so if im lucky 790. Best: 800. Things don't go my way: 740
Writing: 11-12 essay. -2-4 MC 790 - 760 ((760-770) at least thanks to super score)

Overall: Things go poorly : 740 + 740 + 760: 2240 which is kinda
Things go swimmingly: 760 + 790 + 790 = 2340.
Best possible given what I know I definitely got wrong: 800 + 800 + 790 = :O

whats funny is that I was this close to cancelling, I decided to go 30 minutes before 8AM :P . The extent of studying for me was opening the SAT book and realizing slope was rise over run the night before. I did sleep well though, that must be the key!
