***Official January 2015 SAT (US ONLY) THREAD***

Wow, I did bad. I got my scores early through Naviance. 710 W (10 essay, 67 MC), 650 CR, and a 570 M (good lord). I think the SAT anxiety got to me while I was going through because I had taken two practice tests the day before and got a 2140 and a 2190, both timed and both set in test like conditions. I had studied so so so much since November. This is going to be hard to deal with when my friends will most likely break 2100 with little to no studying. I hate the SATs so much. On to March, I guess…

edit: time to rework my college list lol

@server456‌ @jfbr2314‌ How was the curve?

@singeorgina no clue. It only posts the scores. Not the amount wrong or anything. If it helps my MC score on writing was a 67

@jfbr2314‌ Aww, sad to hear that. If you’re still a junior, you still have a chance to get that score up. your college list should remain intace.

I guess writing curve is gonna be pretty nice based off of your score. Hard to determine math and reading though

GUYS THE WRITING CURVE IS BETTER THAN USUAL

@jfbr2314‌ If you don’t mind me asking, how was your essay? Like how long was it and how many examples did you use?

@yesyesyes1 Math: 530, Critical Reading: 580, Writing: 480, Essay: 3 (I overthought it and only got through a paragraph and a sentence or something, overthinking is likely to be a huge damper on all of my scores). You don’t get to see how many you missed when you’re viewing your scores on the admissions portal of a college website.

If you got your scores back, do you mind sharing your raw total as well as your overall score?

@singeorgina I thought my essay was pretty decent. I used a pretty common tutor format (4 paragraphs, 2 examples related to unique historical figures). I even got creative and used alliteration in my first sentence to try and get the literary terms point. I was sort of expecting closer to an 11, but I most likely made a couple of stupid grammar mistakes.

@Wingachu‌ the raw totals aren’t posted on naviance (where i saw my score) except for writing MC subscore which was a 67 with a 10 essay for a 710

@jfbr2314‌ Did you fill up both pages?
Sorry for all the questions, I’m just trying to gauge whether I failed writing or not.

Essay: 3 examples, filled two pages, on topic with dates/transitions, etc. = 11 (sadness, usually a 12)

Essay: 3 examples, filled two pages, on topic with dates/transitions, etc. = 11 (sadness, usually a 12)

@singeorgina Yep. Both pages filled

67 + 10 -> 710 on writing is a pretty nice curve. Last year when I took it I got a 68 with a 9 on the essay that got curved down to a 650.

@jfbr2314‌ Did you get the prompt about a “perfect world”? I feel like no one got that one but me ._.

@wingachu Certainly. I can’t gauge how bad the math curve is because I in no way thought I got more than 6-7 wrong and low and behold I didn’t even break 600.

@singeorgina Nope, sorry lol
