<p>So far, to my comparing answers in the other thread:</p>
<p>-2 CR, but of course, on practice tests I usually get -8 to -15
-0 math
-0 writing</p>
<p>aab123: I got 75 for that problem as well.</p>
<p>trckrazie88: Yes, one of the sections had 23 questions (it was between the 7th and 10th section; CR or W)</p>
<p>i had the same situation with the essay- was right in the middle when time was called. the proctor didn’t even give a warning!</p>
<p>Listen, it’s not the end of the world. Relax, forget about it, focus on school, and pave the path for the APs and SAT II. You screwed up; you’ll live. Wait till the 11th, get your scores, see how you did, and take it over. No reason to fret.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>agree, except i don’t remember the 9th question. i thought it was about what the townspeople’s speech/actions showed… and i put that they showed how they were oblivious to duvell’s change or something because it pretty much stated that directly in the passage.</p>
<p>Curve is brutal, since people here have been asserting that they’re pre-validated and all this and that. Check page 12 i believe of the Mar 12 Discussion thread.</p>
<p>Claridge/aab123: but everyone posted the grid-ins…and the second one was 66.6, and the third was 75…and I don’t remember bubbling in 2 75’s, but I know I got 1…what was the question for 66.6?!? o_O</p>
<p>phew thanks claridge</p>
<p>The essay prompt was interesting… I found it more vague than other practice essays I’ve taken. Though (for the “majority as a guide” essay) I wrote in a school situation and discussed school elections, as well as decisions made by the student body (as a majority) and provided examples from my own school. In comparison to other peoples’ subjects, mine doesn’t seem to be too on-topic. What do you think?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>Wut did u guys write about for your essays…i used Jesus and past presidential elections to prove that the majority’s opinon often leads to a poor course of action!!!</p>
<p>iIs the SAT I writing section exactly the same as the SAT II writing test?</p>
<p>navyblue…that’s what I got for #9. It was talking about how they remembered their own kindenss, but her kindness was used only to underscore how much she had changed.</p>
<p>I think it is, except that in the SAT II writing you only got 20 mins for the essay.</p>
<p>anyone used The Fountainhead as an example for the essay? Just curious</p>
<p>800,800,800,800,800,800,…790 :)</p>
<p>My three examples were sound examples, at least imho. I had the Galileo/Darwin/other scientists incident, but I put “16th century and earlier” 
I don’t think that would matter; this isn’t SAT II History of Science (not that such a test exists)…and besides that, I had woman’s suffrage and Howard Roark from The Fountainhead (absolute epitome of majority = wrong).</p>
<p>I don’t think it matters that much - in a Princeton Review book, I believe for the MCAS (statewide qualifying exam for MA), they ENCOURAGED you to make up obscure/random words of wisdom from obscure/random/make-believe cultures (i.e, ‘As the ancient Thyleian idiom goes…’) </p>
<p>The graders spend two whole minutes ‘reading’ your essay. It won’t mark down your grade. Colleges may see it; I don’t believe they will but some people have said they would. </p>
<p>At any rate, making up things is a mixed blessing. There’s no time to really make up ideal sayings or quotes. If you’re unsure of a fact though, it should be okay if you get it wrong.</p>
<p>“i have a feeling that some of you don’t think it’s easy, and perhaps post to bolster your own egos, not all of you, but some”</p>
<p>Note, I see the “not all of you, but some,” it’s just that I need to be confidence.</p>
<p>Trust me, I have no reason to lie. Not that I’m trying to convince you of anything, but I have been and will continue to be open about it: I got a 1110 on the Jan 22, 2005 SAT and I knew it was hard when I was taking it. That was without a writing and essay score, but it had analagies and quantitative math (both of which I blow at) Without those two, plus more sentence corrections and more kiddie-math, I am 100% confident that my score sky-rocketed. My PSAT Writing score indicated that I am in the 660-730 range, and I don’t think that takes into account the 25-minute essay, which I truly believe I nailed today.</p>
<p>I don’t think I am sounding pretentious, because I acknowledge my weaknesses just as much as my strengths. Quite frankly, I think it is good to be optimistic about the outcome of one’s test, at least for me.</p>
<p>Three wrong on the math should be something in the 750 neighborhood, no? </p>
<p>Pre-validated?</p>
<p>For those of you who took the original SAT, how did you think it compared. For me, I got 800 verbal on the old one, but i dont think i did so well on this new one. For math, last time, due to dumb mistakes i got 760. This time math was easier. The writing is way easier than the SATII Writing btw. I wonder why the media is making such a fuss.</p>
<p>Marks from pressing the pages together?..</p>
<p>Are we allowed to swear on these forums? I didn’t even look for those.</p>
