<p>How many questions did everyone get wrong and what score did you get?
I made a lot of stupid mistakes (on easy problems) and got -8. My score came out to be a 660. </p>
<p>In my opinion, this curve was pretty bad.</p>
<p>What are your opinions?</p>
<p>did you take the international SAT test?</p>
<p>Nope, this was the US one. I forgot there were two curves; there were two different SAT administrations in November. I had the SAT with the negative campaigns passage.</p>
<p>Yuck. -3 got me 740 (test with negative campaigns).</p>
<p>I got -2 = 800. 19/19 sentence completion though, aw yeah.
Needless to say, I’m pretty pleased with the curve.</p>
<p>Test without negative campaigns. What passage are we using to identify that one? Grand canyon?</p>
<p>negative campaigns:</p>
<p>-8 = 700</p>
<p>The passage was about how politicians used negative campaigns as smear tactics. One of the vocabulary questions was about penguins; the answer choices being atavism, fanaticism, and pluralism.</p>
<p>I got 18/19 SC, I got the penguin question wrong :(</p>
<p>@sheep I meant 8 questions wrong, so it’s -10. Can’t update first post 
double sad face.</p>
<p>Yea the penguin question was hard. Last month’s test, 8 wrong would have been a 700.</p>
<p>Negative campaign test here. I missed 3 and got a 740… What a ridiculous curve. Last time I missed 4 and got a 760…</p>
<p>Wow… It sucks only because I thought this test was harder than last month’s. Too bad since I really only needed to improve my reading score, since my other scores were ok.</p>
<p>I was banking on a 750+</p>
<p>So what was the break down of question/difficulty?</p>
<p>Vocab: 19/19
Passage based:
Easy: 2 wrong (<em>fail</em>)
Medium: 2 wrong
Hard: 2 wrong</p>
<p>I canceled my October score (about 7 wrong from what I saw on the discussion threads) so that I could get a higher score on this one. That was a stupid decision.</p>
<p>Breakdown:
SC: 1 Hard
Passage: 3 Medium 4 Hard</p>
<p>But for the passage ones, they weren’t really “hard”. I got the simple stuff like peregrination and humorous wrong. If I only followed my gut instinct, I would have done better. (not really since the curve was still horrible)</p>
<p>Yeah, well at least you didn’t get two easy ones wrong… I really just needed a 730 since I got 800s on the other two sections… :(</p>
<p>Can someone confirm that -3=740? I don’t really believe that since according to this:</p>
<p><a href=“http://www.erikthered.com/tutor/SAT-Released-Test-Curves.pdf[/url]”>http://www.erikthered.com/tutor/SAT-Released-Test-Curves.pdf</a></p>
<p>-3 is at worst a 770.</p>
<p>So the distribution was:</p>
<p>-0 800
-1 800
-2 800
-3
-4
-5
-6
-7
-8 700
-9
-10 660</p>
<p>I had the other SAT version, not the political campaigns.</p>
<p>-2 = 790, 1 of each type, both were difficult.</p>
<p>I assure you that -3 is a 740. I’m just as incredulous as you are. I missed three hard passage-based questions (I know exactly which three they are too…)</p>
<p>@SheepGetKilled You are confusing the two different tests (Which had two very different curves). For our test (Negative Campaign ads one) the curve seems to be:</p>
<p>-0 = 800
-1 = 800
-2 = 780
-3 = 740
-4 = 730
-5 = 710</p>
<p>Talk about harsh…</p>
<p>3 questions wrong is -4. 2 questions wrong is -2. How do you guys get -3, did you guys omit or are you doing it by questions word above?</p>
<p>Wow that is a ridiculous curve, how easy was the CR section? I hope December is better.</p>
<p>I definitely had negative campaigns, and I got 6 wrong and got a 700. Therefore a -8 = 700. If you really want I can take a screen shot … you can also search my post history right after taking the test to see my comments about the negative campaigns.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>This should really be:</p>
<p>-0 = 800
-1 = 800
-2 = 780
-3 = n/a
-4 = 740
-5 = 730
-6 = 710
-7 = n/a
-8 = 700</p>
