<p>well despite not doing as well on writing, I correctly predicted my sentence error score. Said I got the galaxy one wrong and the chimpanzees one wrong. went 16/18 for sentence error. went 3/6 on Improving Paragraphs 
and got 4 wrong on improving sentences with a crappy 8 essay. Don’t laugh but I only got 22 correct Passage based questions :O</p>
<p>Only got 3 wrong in writing, got 4 wrong in Math, and let’s not talk about CR, although I didn’t miss any vocab questions, which were a main problem in the past for me…</p>
<p>Wow, actually overall had not that many more errors on this one than in March, I don’t know why my score is so much lower…lol</p>
<p>To anyone who disagrees, the curve was ■■■■</p>
<p>Has their ever been consecutive SATs with harsh curves? Because if there hasn’t, this bodes well for the October SAT. </p>
<p>Wow-- looks like I only wrote 1.5 pages for my essay. Not making that mistake again. The math curve was really harsh</p>
<p>Although people contend that there is no easier month and that there are no good curve, bad curve months, I disagree, my friend figured out this whole pattern thing. I really hope October has a good curve, it’s a last chance fr most of us. </p>
<p>See! The math curve was absolute bs. </p>
<p>I should have gotten at least a 700 for math, but I got the worst possible scenario.
I understand the math section was really easy and that I only made stupid mistakes,but come on now, it didn’t deserve the harshest curve possible.</p>
<p>It’s funny how one question can drop you 30 points on math</p>
<p>@humbugs It’s ridiculous, and it’s not even that we don’t know the math, it’s a simple misread or a simple mistake where we do the problem too fast. I hate the way the scores work. </p>
<p>@scarlettlovesivy i guess if they didn’t make it that harsh, everybody would get 800’s and scores would lose their value </p>
<p>Another mistake I made was not omitting a single question on the test…</p>
<p>@humbugs You’re absolutely right, it just hurts for those of us who are so close to that 800. I know I am so capable of getting it, I know all the math, like I said it’s stupid mistakes, and they keep robbing me of my perfect score. I need that 800 too because I’m looking into engineering.
By the way are you retaking in Oct?</p>
<p>@scarlettlovesivy I sure am. There’s less stress since I know I can take it again in november even for early action applications</p>
<p>@humbugs What are you gonna do differently in terms of studying? And, I would do that too except it would be my 4th time and I don’t want to do that, plus I need 1 more subject test.
By the way, didn’t you get a great score this time? haha</p>
<p>@scarlettlovesivy I’m gonna do full practice tests. I chunked my tests into category so I only did like 1 hour sessions at a time. I wasn’t prepared for the mammoth 4 hours of staying still lol. </p>
<p>I’m less nervous about the test now so I won’t stay up until 4 am the night before 
and I absolutely won’t do a full practice test the day before like I did this time. </p>
<p>@humbugs WOAH, SAME, that was exactly my problem, not taking full length tests so I wasn’t used to the 4 hours and thats why I couldn’t concentrate. I couldn’t sleep at all the night before haha. </p>
<p>@scarlettlovesivy I didn’t practice for the essay at all and I got slapped with an 8. I really liked my essay but I guess it’s not what graders are looking for. Looks like the foolproof method is 1. Agree or disagree with prompt 2. A couple of examples 3. conclusion that restates intro. Way to suck the life out of writing! </p>
<p>@humbugs IMO chilling/relaxing 3-4 days from the actual exam is the ““best way”” to prepare when you’re that close to taking it. Besides going over some math and grammar rules and practicing them an hour (or at max, 2), you’re not going to improve much, if at all.</p>
<p>Hmmm, I don’t think the curve was especially harsh for math this time. That, or the curve was harsh for January. Back then I missed four omitted one and scored below 700. </p>
