<p>So disappointed:
680 CR, 700 M, 770 W for 2150 total.</p>
<p>After waiting the whole day on “unavailable scores,” I’m just devastated.
I’ve never scored that low, not even on practice tests done in freshman year, and I had been shooting for upper 2300s. Walked out of the testroom feeling horrible about CR, but confident on math.
This curve was awful. Based on how hard/ambiguous people were saying CR was, I at least expected a lenient curve. Ugh, back to SAT prep books I guess. </p>
<p>should i retake if I got a 2310 (this is my first time taking the “real” SAT)
CR- 760
Math- 750 (that ONE question ugh)
Writing- 800 (80/10)</p>
<p>I’ve gotten 770-800 on practice CR, and 760-800 on practice Math sections (though I know the curve was really harsh this time around)-- should I retake the test to prove that I can do better (and for a better superscore), or is there no huge difference in college admission? I’m at that awkward middle ground where I could either take it or leave it… any advice greatly appreciated. Thanks.</p>
<p>I’m kinda confused… I went on #satscores on instagram and saw somebody post their scores a few hours ago that got a 760 in math… rather they’re lying or you guys are overshooting the curve.</p>
<p>CC is very widely followed and posted on. I would expect at least one person on CC to have a score between 750 and 800 if the Math curve is wrong. </p>
<p>So what was the curve in math? Is it true that -1 is 750, -2 is 720, -3 a 700 and -4 a 680? How do you guys know this? I don’t get my score analysis and how many I got wrong until Dec. 2. Also, do schools know the curve or are they just looking at the overall score?</p>
<p>People don’t know the Math curve for sure, but you can make a pretty safe deduction. The only scores in the 700s that people have reported are 750, 720 and 700. The absence of any score between 800 and 750 makes it seem fairly likely that the curve = 750 for 1 wrong answer. I guess it could be true that 0 and 1 wrong answer = 800 and 2 wrong answers = 750. But either way, it’s a very steep curve from 800 to 750 to 720 with no intermediate stopping points in between.</p>
<p>@engineerof2016 well now I am going to spend some of thanksgiving break and all of winter break to to study and retake it again in january. I really hoped I could get it done once and for all this november, but it seems all my luck was gone for the test. My practice tests were all 2200-2300 range too, so it seems like just cramming in practice tests will probably not help. I’ll need to find any other more efficient method or i might get a tutor in the last resort</p>
<p>my friend got a 710 on math</p>
<p>I think this is how the score for math goes</p>
<p>raw score
-1- 750
-2 720
-3 710
-4 700</p>
<p>note this is raw score, not number of questions wrong, so 2 wrong and 1 ommit gets 710 while 3 wrong gets 700</p>
<p>800 Math (YESSSSS)
650 CR
680 Writing
…
Well, this destroys my 28 ACT…
</p>
<p>Hoping a 2130 isn’t too low for the Ivies… Will be applying to all through Questbridge :P</p>
<p>@greyhelveticas I’m in the same boat as you. I’ve been getting practice tests 2250-2350 consistently and i felt so confident before the exam; suddenly on the actual exam i get a 2050… I’m just speechless. I spent the entire second half of summer and these past 2 months studying so hard from my mock exam in april (when i got a 1970). It’s just so agitating and now I have to spend time during thanksgiving+winter break and take it again in january. </p>

<p>This makes sense. 2 wrongs dont get you the extra negative point but 3 wrongs will.</p>
<p>Well my scores aren’t available yet. What should I do?</p>
<p>wait</p>
<p>@texaspg - I guess it is better to omit then attempt any hard problems. Although I didn’t really think there were any hard problems this time. The last SAT I took had harder problems, but I got the same score. </p>
<p>Depends on how many you are going to get wrong on a regular basis. As you can see, the first two wrongs or omissions have the same impact on your score. Again if it is 3 wrong or 4 wrong, you get the same extra negative point. So if you get 3 wrong and one omit, you have not done any better than getting 4 wrong.</p>
<p>I tell my kids to take the risk of being wrong, always, since the goal should always be to maximize your score.</p>
<p>Anybody considering doing score verification?</p>
<p>I thought I missed 3 in math and I got a 670…i was expecting at least a 720…what…the…■■■■</p>
<p>@LOLBeast1 </p>
<p>Yeah man, the math curve was brutal. You probably only did miss 3 questions.</p>
