***October 2015 SAT (US Only) Thread***

I got a 76/80 and 10 essay for a 780 in writing. I know I didn’t miss two questions because I answered every question so if I missed 2, that would have been a -3 raw score which definitely would not have been a 780. Getting that one MC right or an 11 essay would have given me the 800 but oh well haha

Just to give some insight about the writing curve :slight_smile:

@peblair
missing 2 would be -2 raw. It rounds in your favor.

Wait what. I thought -2 would be -2.5 which rounds to -3 no?

@Perbler There are a total of 49 writing questions.

49 - 2.5 = raw score 46.5, which rounds up to 47.

Thus, a -2 is just a -2.

@Perbler
-2 is -2.5 yes, but it rounds in your favor to -2. Technically what happens is you go ahead and subtract 2.5 from raw to get 46.5, then you round the raw. It would round to a 47.

@Perbler got a 76/80 and 10 essay for 780. My DD got a 76/80 and a 10 essay for a 770. The only explanation I can think of is that there is a different curve based on which essay you were assigned.

Congratulations!

What is your secret weapon to get perfect scores on cr and writing?

Oh okay that makes sense haha

Please… Someone with 800 CR…HOW DO YOU DO THE PASSAGES???

I got a 2260 (720 CR/770 M/770 W) up from a 2120 (680 CR/670 M/770 W) and am pretty dang happy with my score! I have a 35 ACT (35 CR/34 M/36 R/34 S) as well and hope that’s good enough to get me into top schools/get me good scholarships elsewhere! My ECs/grades are pretty strong so I think so :slight_smile:

My scores still not available yet??? Why?? can someone help?

Got a 2110
630 cr
680 math
800 writing(80/80 mc and 12 essay)
Is this good enough for a state school like university of Maryland?

I think that’s the only thing that makes sense. (Different essay received different scoring result) My daughter also got 76/80 with a 10 essay for a 760 on this test. She would have liked the 770 result, but she’ll still take the 760!

i got a perfect 800 on math but went down in my reading and writing scores

My sons scores are also not showing. So frustrating!! We called and they said they would contact us within 3-5 business days. Not helpful when you are planning on ED! Have you called CB?

@TheEpic2401Man Got an 800 CR on this test, message me :slight_smile:

I did call the college board #, they said they will accelerate to the exception team and contact by email in 5 to 7 business days. Ugh!!!

Math - 800 (didn’t miss any)
Critical Reading - 800 (either missed 1 question or none)
Writing - 800 (80/80 multiple choice w/ 10 essay lol)

2400 (first time taking it)

I studied really hard but it was totally worth it!!

Why retaking it when you already got a 2300?

How many incorrect is a 720 CR?
