Does this hold true in the SAT I?

<p>I know that in the SAT II’s you can miss a few or more depending on which subject you take and still get a 800.</p>

<p>I was in my SAT prep class the other day, and I heard that the SAT I is curved. Sometimes missing one or two on one of the sections you will still get an 800? depending on how others scored?</p>

<p>Also I heard to take the test during may and june because most of the smart people take it in october, november, and january. Not saying that I’m stupid, but taking it in may or june would make me look better compared to others.</p>

<p>Is this true…? Does it make that big of a difference?</p>

<p>No, I’m pretty sure that the curves for each test are predetermined BEFORE anyone takes the test based on the difficulty of the Qs. That being said, there are times when you CAN miss 1-2 and still get a 800. For example, on the Jan SAT I, I missed 2 on CR and still got an 800. I really don’t think the quality of the students sitting for the test have anything to do with the curve.</p>

<p>Oops wrong board…
That’s what my sat prep teacher and a student said. I doubted it was true but I wasn’t too sure.</p>
