<p>@pizzabagel This is literally what they said " If the integers are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11, then m=6. Therefore, the median can be an integer." I’m not making any typos. Word for word, numeral for numeral. They have some seriously flawed reasoning.</p>
<p>Yes! maybe I can get a 570 in M after all!</p>
<p>@dhizzy Can you post the original question again? Does it say that 10 or more integers can be selected by chance?</p>
<p>“Ten different integers are between 1 and 100, inclusive. If the median of the ten integers is m, which of the following must be true?”</p>
<p>@dhizzy other choices aren’t MUST TRUE, maybe that’s why it was E</p>
<p>@sat2014 But, less than OR EQUAL TO 96 is not valid because it can never be equal to 96. That is a flawed answer choice.</p>
<p>Okay, so the explanation the College Board sent you is a bit flawed. But if 6 is removed, the median of the ten integers would be 6, an integer, so the answer is still E. I’m surprised the College Board didn’t catch that though.</p>
<p>And it’s not flawed. The phrase is less than OR equal to. Key word OR. Every possible median from the smallest of 5.5 to the largest of 95.5 will be less than or equal to 96.</p>
<p>I screwed up CR and some MC writing so bad! An 800 in math would relieve so much stress</p>
<p>Curve prediction. Writing will be fairly lenient especially with the essay. Good chance for -1 and 10 essay being 800. Math will be average. It was nowhere near as hard as people are saying and the median question is not controversial at all. -1 780. Reading will be harsh. Honestly you don’t know a hard CR section if you thought this one was hard. Vocab was probably the easiest ever and the passages were easy. Most the questions here shouldn’t even be debated (like frequently obvious and happily complying). -1 will probably be the max for 800. -2 at best and don’t count out a -1 790.</p>
<p>I think the reading curve will be average. -1 800 sounds about right. The sentence completion was easy, but some of the questions were ambiguous. Math was not hard but not easy so -1 780. I thought the writing was pretty easy but others disagree. I would love for -1, 10 to be an 800 but I don’t see that happening. Probably -1, 10 790.</p>
<p>My prediction for my own score with this curve: 2 to 5 wrong CR: 720 - 770, 2 to 3 wrong M: 730 - 760, 0 to 1 wrong (10 essay) 790 - 800. (I have a 760 backup for the writing superscored just in case). 2240 - 2330 (I would be ecstatic with anything in this range). </p>
<p>Hoping for 2200+ but I would be happy with anything above 2100+
Math is definitely what is going to save me. Still going for that 800!</p>
<p>Guys for the math grid in - you didn’t have to write the numbers in the boxes, right?</p>
<p>If you just bubbled the answer that would still work, right?</p>
<p>Did that to save time. </p>
<p><em>facepalm</em></p>
<p>Why would you write a letter to ETS about the median question? That was the only answer that worked, all others were false! 95.5 <= 96 is a true statement! What you SHOULD have written them a letter about was the kids in the car CR question, or even the writing question that’s bothering people here. </p>
<p>@7alman yeah im almost positive that they only grade the bubbles.</p>
<p>Personally, I feel it will be a harsh curve. I regret making so many simple sentence competition mistakes. They will come back to bite me in the rear end. Writing was meh. And personally, I thought math was easy, but I may be wrong. </p>
<p>damn, just realized we should of asked about the writing question… kids in the car is happily complying, I will admit that I got it wrong. all the SAT gurus are split 50/50 on that writing question. Curve for math will be average, Reading all depends on how many hard questions, and writing will be average too</p>
<p>I don’t think CB will budge unless it’s a math question. Math is not subjective… there’s one right answer. But they can say the correct CR answers are anything and you can’t really contest that. </p>
<p>didn’t think the car question was problematic, honestly. I thought they were obeying Sonny. There’s a “So” at the beginning of the sentence that indicates a causal relationship between Sonny’s encouragement and their kicking around in the car. But again… I could be wrong, lol. CR is ridiculous at the best of times</p>
<p>which is why I feel a question should be labeled a 4 or 5 if the answer choices sound really good. the passages were easy to read but some of the choices were like “well maybe or this does sound better than that” I hope the curve for CR is average. really hope so</p>
<p>I think there’s a decent chance it will be. Lots of pessimism here, but just remember that no one suspected that -4 800 curve either</p>
