No matter how generous the CR curve is, -5 or -4 is gonna be in the low 700s right?

<p>So I’m debating whether or not I should cancel my scores, since I got a 740 on CR and a 2320 in total for the March SAT (800 Math, 780 Writing). </p>

<p>I took the May one because I got a free voucher to take it again with no cost, and I wanted to try and improve my CR.</p>

<p>However, after reading the CR thread, I’m pretty sure I missed around 4-5, (I put ludicrously instead of succint, empathetic instead of deferential, want definition as desire instead of lack, fit unexpected whim instead of sudden burst, and I’m pretty sure something else as well)</p>

<p>So no matter how generous a CR curve, -4 to -5 is definitely gonna be at or lower than 740 right?</p>

<p>(I’m trying to decide whether to cancel or not)</p>

<p>Well, you’ll get at least a 2280…if you don’t want that, cancel.</p>

3

<p>I missed every single one you said, now I’m worried.</p>

4

<p>basically, yes. Cancel.</p>

5

<p>i dont understand why you would cancel any score</p>

6

<p>some schools require you send all.</p>

7

<p>I would cancel, not because you should be worried per se, but why show colleges a downward trend? and 2320 is freakin awesome</p>

8

<p>I still think ludicrous is the correct answer; where is the proof that that was not correct?</p>

9

<p>oh god no…</p>

<p>Historically, the average for -4 is a 770. I think I missed 4 too, so maybe the curve will be generous.</p>

<p>Lol, I missed those exact questions so I hope kph is right… 770 would be awesome, actually. I’m probably looking at a 720 or something… ;-;</p>

<p>I still think it’s ludicrous instead of succinct too.
I mean come on. Comic artists = Ludicrous. How are they not…

<p>But painters aren’t automatically characterized as ludicrous. Whereas many paintings are succinct.</p>

13

<p>Sorry, I looked at the wrong one. It would probably be a 750 if you missed 4, but that’s still higher than your last score. I wouldn’t cancel it.</p>

14

<p>whats your opinions on the CR curve? harsh, generous, medium?</p>

15

<p>^^I wouldn’t depend on these past curves. SAT curves have been very harsh lately.</p>

<p>March CR -3 was a 740.
January CR -2 was a 790.</p>

<p>Even if you get 750 CR, your math/writing scores will probably be lower.</p>

16

<p>I’m pretty sure the answer was </p>

<p>Succient because they used the word economy.</p>

<p>October 2009 CR Curve:
RAW SCORE
67 800
66 800
65 800
64 800
63 780
62 760
61 740</p>

<p>@xgun</p>

<p>I doubt it will be that generous. SAT curves have been super harsh lately :/</p>

18

<p>Well, I said those are for the October 2009 SAT’s.</p>

<p>And those are usually considered the hardest ones. =/</p>

19

<p>^ months dont have harder tests… it doesn’t work that way…</p>

<p>btw CollegeBoard DGAFs about whether or not you thought it was hard. It is based on what they percieve the difficulty level to be… the past 3 have been VERY harsh curves and I see no reason why they would sudenly give us a lineint curve. They may be trying to restandardize the grades on account for everyone studying so much for the SAT…</p>

<p>I don think it works that way olleger. They use statistics to determine the percentiles of scores to serve as the basis for the curves.</p>
