OFFICIAL October 8, 2005 SAT I Forum

<p>im in mississippi so I guess I have to wait till 8:00 A.M. right?</p>

<p>Though the site says the scores will be up by 8 AM EST, they are usually posted a few hours earlier. They should be up whenever you wake up, unless that is before 3AM…</p>

<p>Prediction:</p>

<p>M:800 W: ~700 R: ~700</p>

<p>I’m hoping for at least a 2100…please collegeboard… </p>

<p>I got all the questions right that people were complaining about on here. So, reading this board, I was initially stoked. Then I realized, whenever I think I’ve done well on an exam, I usually haven’t. </p>

<p>I used Kaplan to prepare.</p>

<p>I thought the writing section was easy…very easy…well, that means I must have made a lot mistakes.</p>

<p>I thought the reading was average… So I probably missed a few…</p>

<p>I checked my answers for most of the math section…so I’m hoping to get an 800. </p>

<p>(I’m actually hoping for a 2250 for the next one)</p>

<p>I am so unbelievable anxious. I wonder if there’s any chance they’ll post scores a couple days early like they did the June SAT IIs. Probably not. </p>

<p>This is the last SAT for me- these scores will determine so much… Can’t wait.</p>

<p>Oh, and by the way:</p>

<p>a little over 100 hours left until they reveal results,</p>

<p>106.5 hours to be exact… (if the 3AM time is correct)</p>

<p>tick tock tick tock</p>

<p>Sounds like so little time, yet it is so much.</p>

<p>OCTOBER SAT SCORES ARE UP EARLY <a href=“http://collegeboard.com%5B/url%5D”>http://collegeboard.com</a></p>

<p>Just kiddin. But seriously, relax! Jesus!</p>

<p>…said it best: '“Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?” - Luke 12:25.</p>

<p>can we get a countdown going?..how many hours now?
@ this rate…i will spend muh entire tyme on here just checking…</p>

<p>I heard we spend 1/5 of our waking life waiting for something</p>

<p>Please don’t let some scores do that to you</p>

<p>do you guys think there will be curves for this SAT? i hope so…i don’t want to take it again…</p>

<p>Haha- Don’t worry, I’m not losing any sleep. </p>

<p>There isn’t such thing as “curve” on the sat. There is a normalalized score range that is assigned to each raw score. If the test is hard, scores will be at the top of this range. If the test is easy, scores will be at the bottom of this range. On my test (the one with “equating” being the first writing MC section) I don’t see any reason for anything other than the middle of the score ranges. MAYBE slight positive deviation in the reading (due to the MLK,) but everything else seemed normal. The firetruck question wasn’t that hard (don’t worry, I missed it.) </p>

<p>I’m predicting a middle score range for raw scores. I.E. No “minus one” or “minus two” 800s. </p>

<p>Above 1500 (M+V) would be amazing, but not expected, for me
I’m pretty sure I wrecked that writing section- I wrecked it so hard it was screaming for me to stop- if I got a 5 on the AP Lang then I better get a 12 on my essay. I didn’t think MC was hard.</p>

<p>I dunno, for math, maybe not, but maybe for the reading section they might have the minus 1 or 2 800s, but that’s just me. hopefully i broke 2100…i worked pretty hard to get my 1920 up…</p>

<p>one question: on the collegeboard site they’ve put up the sections which were supposedly experimental…I dont exactly remember which section number correlated with what…so if someone had one of the first two types of the test (10 sections + the ninth section being math) please let me know which one is experimental.</p>

<p>My SAT went really well…but here’s the catch…there was a misprint in the test - section 10 allowed us to have 25 minutes but the proctors cut it down to 10 minutes because thats what the usual test allows. In section 9, the instruction manual said that we only had 10 minutes…whereas I had a math section and needed 20 minutes. The proctor was a complete moron and gave us only 10 and because the students in the front row had a different form (critical reading as section 9) the idiotic proctor made us put our calculators under the table. We had to actually convince her that our test had a tenth section so that she would let us do it. THe other sections had gone really well for me which is a complete bummer because the way my ninth section was screwed will really ruin my score! a lot of complaints were made…my guidance couselor and a lot of my friends but nothing seemed to happen.
anyhow, thats my sob story - please let me know what the experimental section was for my form of the test.</p>

<p>Sorry to hear about that- collegeboard would usually allow a retest under such conditions. Best of luck.</p>

<p>How bad do you think it hurt you? We’ll find out in…</p>

<p>83 hours!</p>

<p>That’s 4980 minutes, guys.</p>

<p>Or if you’re really anxious, 298800 seconds.</p>

<p>Has anyone read Hawking’s Brief History of Time? I wish I could find one of those wormholes…</p>

<p>so if early…21st?? 22nd??</p>

<p>Isn’t section 10 always the 10 minute writing section? I thought the format of the SAT went like this</p>

<p>1: 25 minute essay
2-9: combination of 3 CR, 3 math, 1 writing, 1 experimental in mixed order depending on the version of the test
10: 10 minute writing section</p>

<p>i noticed the typo thing too, but i think they only made the typo on the test itself and not on the proctors guide thingy, so i guess some proctors and some students never noticed it; but with situations like yours (chittychittybangbang) going on i hope they give bonus marks for everyone!!!</p>

<p>there was a question on the sat…student reponse math…that had a line going throu pts (-3,0_ and 0, -2) it asked for the perpendicular line going thru origin…anyone remeber the q im talking about?..what was the answer to it?..i think that was the right question.</p>

<p>if you look through from first page, you will easily find it</p>
