I think the writing curves are always really harsh though. Aren't they? o3o

80, 76, 71?

No way. I'm used to like 80, 76, 74, 71 (ETC)

I remember taking a practice exam (2003, I think?) at school, where you could miss 2 writing questions and get an 80. At least I thought that's what our teacher told us. Now with all the discussion of harsh writing curves, I'm not so sure.

^Definitely. I think I got at least 20 questions wrong last year and I got a 189 so if you omitted 15 questions and got the rest right then you should be fine.

@overachiever1: I missed 15 last year as a sophomore (only 5 of which were omits) and I still got a 204.

@kimmylouie: When you say omit 2 does that include the -2 (for a total of -4?). If so:
75-76M, 71-75RC, 67-70W.

Rob I mean. Like I just omitted 2. Didn't answer so technically not wrong.

Oh, so you mean you got them all right except for two of them which you omitted? In that case your CR would be probably a 75-78.

EDIT: Here's my guess for the curve if anyone wants it. I was predicting an average CR curve, harsh M curve, and slightly less forgiving W curve.

-N CR M W
-0 80 80 80
-1 79 75 76
-2 76 72 73
-3 74 70 71
-4 73 69 70
-5 72 67 68
-6 70 65 66
-7 68 64 65
-8 67 62 63
-9 65 60 62

@biovball: I'd modify Rob's estimate to the following:

CR: 79-80 (usually 80)
M: 80
W: 76-79

So, 235-239 composite.
