I know I did terribly on the Critical Reading in the beginning of the test. 
I skipped a ton.
I dislike the error prediction method.
@lionbeast Okay I see, but for the CB to make that call seems awfully dangerous…
@lilypippili i understand that, but i’m wondering if they’ll separate the 25 min for math ppl and the 25 min for reading people and count the other 20 min sections and assess differently.
I’m freaking out the whole reason I retook the SAT was to improve my math score and if they’re making the curve harsher I’m going to have to consider retaking it in October which I REALLY don’t want to do :((
There’s so much stress for students to succeed on the SAT, CB should just give credit for the two sections… How do you guys think the public would respond to that decision
@lolokcollege I don’t think so, some people got extra time on both sections
@lilypippili SAME here. Im so mad!
Upon looking at the press release, I saw this statement:
“If one of the three sections is jeopardized, the correlation among sections is sufficient to be able to deliver reliable scores”
-from the press release
If 8 and 9 are indeed cancelled, then Collegeboard better do a damned good job and be able to support their basis for whatever method they use to predict overall scores. Just saying that a correlation indicated that the student is likely to get x questions wrong in 8 or 9 simply is NOT going to fly. If there is even one student that, after using this “prediction or extrapolation” got more wrong than what he or she actually scored on 8 and 9, regardless or extra time or not, I smell serious trouble for CB. They also better provide a good reason that this correlation is sufficient. Sometimes CB can be so obscure, any measure they try to use to “resolve” this issue better be damned good. Since this has been unprecedented, we should all be aware that if CB uses some unfair/questionable method to resolve scores and gets away with it, it will set a precedent for all future cases
@Ennnnn that would make me very happy LOL but I’m sure some people would object and say it’s not fair to everyone else who didn’t take the june SAT and didn’t get the free points
@lionbeast Ikr! This is all so messed up
@lilypippili @lolokcollege you know, if CB did score 8 and 9 and saw that the scores between students who had extra time or not did not differ significantly. then they could keep the scores and it would be extremely hard to argue that the extra 5 minutes gave the students an “advantage” to get the same score.
@jiyon1383 I saw that too and was thinking the same exact thing, like why the heck are they so sure?? Are they saying people who just get one or two wrong don’t exist?? There’s no way they can use a “correlation method” that just won’t fly. They should have offered an optional free retake because these scores are just all messed up and can’t reflect how a student truly did on the test.
this is so dumb. Moi statues passage was far easier than the other CR sections.
WAIT GUYS THINK ABOUT IT. THEORETICALLY IF THEY MAKE THE CURVE TRASH, everyone will get like 1800s or 2000s. They won’t do that because that means the test is harder than usual. Every test, they make the percentiles of 2400s, 2300s, 2200s the same. This means that they will still scale your score so that the same number of high scores exist. so guys don’t worry too much.
Leave it up to College Board to mess up their own test and then decide they can just predict how students would have answered questions like we are robots.
God I’m kinda pissed. After reading all of the answers in this thread, I’ve got like a 620 in math, but if they curve this harshly (Which is really unfair), I have like a freaking 540! That’s 40 points worse than I did as a freshman! They really should average it out imo.
Not fair at all with the whole prediction-correlation method.
@y0l0lsen Very good point. I was thinking about this earlier as well. This test must not only have a “standardized” set of results in terms of those who actually took the test, but also comparatively to other tests. Our test needs to align with the standard bell curve that normal results use, so the curve will likely be more lenient than many are making it out to be, IMO.
@jiyon1383 I would much prefer that but even that solution isn’t 100% perfect as “not significantly different” still means some people get screwed over. Still, I agree that would overall have a better result than what they’re doing now.
@y0l0lsen is that true? for real??
