<p>I think so, because I scored higher in every section on the Oct-SAT compared to my practice tests. </p>
<p>Also, DH ROCKED this SAT.</p>
<p>Fellow internationals, do you agree?</p>
<p>i also scored a lot higher than i expected, i took math II and in my practice tests i was struggling to get over 600. i was so nervous and almost decided to take math I instead at the last minute, but i stayed with math and scored 710!!! it was actually the first time i didn’t run out of time, but was able to work on every question. didn’t answer all of them though. </p>
<p>btw: wo in deutschland wohnst du & in welchem center warst du? ^^</p>
<p>Ja! Lasst uns einen deutschsprachigen Thread aufmachen! 
An welchen Unis habt/wollt ihr euch denn bewerben?</p>
<p>Harvard, NEU, BU, Simmons und Tufts. Also alles in Boston. Ich liebe diese Stadt und hab auch Familie da. ^^ Mich interessiert das voll: was haben Deutsche im CR- und W-Teil? Ich hab da 600 und 630, bin am überlegen vllt im Dezember oder Januar nochmal den Reasoning Test zu machen.</p>
<p>Can you use English?</p>
<p>I dont’t agree. Math is too easy, the curve is too harsh and a number of classmates got 770…</p>
<p>I agree. The curve was too harsh for CR and math. Internationals didn’t luck out on the Oct. SAT. My practice test score prior to the test was 2360, which was 130 points higher than my actual score. I had 800 M 790 CR and 770 WR on that practice test, but 770 M 690 CR (■■■) and 770 WR, so the ones that did better than they did on practice tests either got lucky, or do well under pressure and adrenaline.</p>
<p>I got about 140 points less than I used to on practice tests.
To be fair, I was nervous and made some careless mistakes, but math curve was really harsh indeed.</p>
<p>Maybe you lucked out. Other ppl didn’t. Most people I know around me didn’t do that well</p>
<p>ok well, then i got lucky.
@R3d3mpti0n: where are you from?</p>
<p>and this:
<a href=“Any Germans here? - International Students - College Confidential Forums”>Any Germans here? - International Students - College Confidential Forums; is the german thread.</p>
<p>I scored 100 points lower than I expected- I do not think I was lucky
and I did not even have DH argg gonna buy one for the next sitting I guess</p>
<p>@thegermankid
if you got lucky it doesn’t mean that all internationals did.</p>
<p>i scared 200 points lower in writing… Got 520. The rest was like what I was getting in the Practice tests: 770M (800 in prep.) 670CR (640 in prep). I think I panicked a lot in Writing; thinking to fast maybe.</p>
<p>Just curious if you get to see your test for feedback like in America.</p>
<p>I usually get CR: 700, Math: 780, Writing 720 on diagnostic tests. But my Oct sat score was much lower; CR: 670 (even though I got only 8 wrongs and no omit and this is usually 700 on other tests), Math: 770 (1 wrong), Writing 590 (Improving Sent 9, Identifying sent error 3 Improving Paragraph 2 and 9 on Essay)</p>
<p>I heard American Test was much easier according to my friends in the US.
But the Essay prompt and math was harder than international test.
Honestly, I barely get any wrong on improving sentence and I was literally forestalled by my score. I expected at least 700.</p>
<p>I am planning to call college board after NOV test and if anyone is interest getting your legit score back Email me at <a href="mailto:sc0tty319@naver.com">sc0tty319@naver.com</a></p>
<p>Both the int’l and US October math tests had -1=770, this means that the two tests were very similar in difficulty (for the math portion at least).</p>
