<p>When is the best time to take the SAT, i.e., what month of the test date does the SAT give out generous curve??</p>
<p>My only options right now are october, november and december(is there one in dec?) of 2009… </p>
<p>^ Yup, a desperate senior I am.</p>
<p>There is no pre-set curve. The curve is determined after everyone takes the test, and will be in correlation to the test difficulty.</p>
<p>Here are the curves to expect from each respective section though (estimates may vary)</p>
<p>CR: Missing 0-2 definitely is an 800, sometimes 3 will work.
M: You have to miss 0 to get an 800, only rarely will missing 1 yield an 800.
W: This one’s tricky. You can get (a) a 12 on the essay and miss up to 3 M/C (b) an 11 on the essay and miss 1 M/C or (c) a 10 on the essay and miss no questions on the M/C in order to get an 800.</p>
<p>These are all approximations, but are pretty close to what it is for each month.</p>
