<p>46 raw for math is a 700? No wayyy. D:</p>

:idk:
:)</p>

<p>^ what source are u using?
46 for math,ummm u’re looking at 650s LOL. 700 no way~</p>

<p>Kaplan
lmao.</p>

<p>LOL. Thought you took the real SAT tests. xD
46 raw should be 650-660.</p>

<p>I remember the January 2006 had a curve similar to this for math, but it was exceedingly difficult and a rarity.</p>

<p>The collegeboard’s official practice test 08-09 has a similar curve. In tht test 46 raw score = 680</p>
