Official SAT I Answer Thread - 12/4 - U.S. Version

<p>ahhhhh… well i’ll have to live with a 770</p>

<p>this may be getting annoying, but have you come to a consensus on as to what the curve will be? i checked up on your posts, i missed 3 math, not four, and 1-2 analogies (can’t remember which were verbal and which were not), and 2-3-4 SC. Critical reading is up in the air, last time i missed seven, so let’s suppose six or five.</p>

<p>Hmmm… I would guess it would be similar to
Math: 800, 800, 780, 760, 740, 720, 700, 700…
Verbal: 800, 800, 800, 780, 780, 760, 740, 720, 700, 700…</p>

<p>Or like the 1995 curve in 10 Reals or the 2000 curve in 10 Reals </p>

<p>Lol none of these are similar… but you have 3 to pick from.</p>

<p>what do you usually get on your practice tests? they’re usually pretty consistent esp if you did 10 REALS</p>

<p>so you’re saying like…760, 700??</p>

<p>Hmmm… I’ve never been consistent with 10 Reals</p>

<p>I have like 100 point gaps everywhere lol
Gains and Drops</p>

<p>Maybe its cuz I try different strategies each time I take it out of there :-&lt;/p>

<p>Well I’m consistent with the real test in a real test center, I keep increasing. Good enough for me</p>

<p>Sure 760/740 and 700/680</p>

<p>that would be orgasmic. I’m still probably taking it again in January, just to see if I can hit 1500+. I’m going to apply to Cornell and all, I’m hoping I did well enough on this SAT to feel secure about just taking the next for fun. NYU likes the scores,I’m guessing, too. BU, I hope a shoe in :|. Where are you applying michael?</p>

<p>Well I’m a sophomore right now… trying to apply to a math/science high school and I need about a 1250+ to feel safe, maybe 1300+ because my area is competitive.</p>

<p>I’m confident of getting at least 1370 this time and possibly up to 1480, but that’s a big range.</p>

<p>For college, I’ll probably apply to Duke (any other schools similar to DUKE :slight_smile: ), Stanford, Chapel Hill, John Hopkins, and Brown. I’ll have time to improve in a year or so for that new SAT.</p>

<p>yeh, i’m confident i hit the 1350+ range…just not sure how much higher.i got a 1270 when i took it as a sophomore. just got my PSAT results, 92nd percentile…missed the whole national merit thing by three percentile. made my day :smiley: (heh)</p>

<p>I heard the curve is really harsh this year… like Math goes from 800 straight to 760 :-&lt;/p>

<p>This was the year I knew what the PSAT was and did good <em>sigh</em>
Well next year is when it counts.</p>

<p>im a senior, gah, i cant deal with another harsh curve</p>

<p>for the E>D>f>C whatever hte answer was
was teh answer choice E???</p>

<p>the last one i took june ahh
curve was 1 wrong on Math 780
verbal was generous though missed liek 5 and got a750</p>

<p>wow… i didn’t even care about the sat until a few months ago… >_></p>

<p>i think it was e>d>c>f…i know F was at the end, and E was at the beginning. I can’t remember which choice it was…but i think it was E, I remember seeing the question</p>

<p>yes it was E</p>

<p>im hoping i put that…i know i had the e, f, at beginning and end, but im not sure what i put for the center…and also, im hoping the curve for sat math goes 800, 800, cuz i then have a chance at an 800…</p>

<p>i dont remember the curve from the last time i took this test</p>

<p>Yeah, me too!</p>

<p>It’s interesting, I had 3 math sections and 4 verbal sections and I don’t at ALL remember some of these “experimental” analogies/SC/bunny rabbits. Is there always only ONE experimental math and ONE experimental verbal?</p>

<p>And to anybody who’s not a junior and looking at competitive tech schools… DO RESEARCH. RIGHT NOW. Call up a professor from your town/a science-technology company and see what you can find. Look at Westinghouse and RSI and Siemens RIGHT NOW. Plan on trying for it; plan on doing research. Research is one of the main things you need to be super-competitive. </p>

<p>I wish someone had told me that.</p>
