<p>for all of you who got 800 and used Barrons, what did you get on Barron’s practice tests?</p>
<p>@realchk I got an 800 on the real thing, but I only scored low to mid 700s to high 600s on Barron’s.</p>
<p>@realchk I also got an 800, but scored 720-760 on the practice tests</p>
<p>i got an 800…am i crazy for feeling like there is a glitch in the system and i didn’t actually get an 800??</p>
<p>@needagoodscore: Yeah, pretty much.</p>
<p>800 as well! I used barrons</p>
<p>Wow, 8 skipped and still an 800? (based on a previous poster)</p>
<p>Congratulations to all with a perfect score, but a 42/50 is way too low imho.</p>
<p>An 8 question curve isn’t exactly uncommon. Most SAT Math II curves fall between 6-8 question curves, with 8 signifying a harder test. Here is Sparknote’s Math II curve table, which gives a general idea of what score to expect based off a raw score. <a href=“SparkNotes: Today's Most Popular Study Guides”>SparkNotes: Today's Most Popular Study Guides;
<p>Hey guys i just checked my score report and it says i got a percentile of 83! 83 percentile for an 800???
THAT’S WAY TOO LOW! </p>
<p>Is it possible to get a 800 without a graphing calculator? :(</p>
<p>Are there questions you can’t answer unless you have a graphing calculator?</p>
<p>Yes @IvyHopeful , on my test there was only one question on which you HAD to have a graphing calculator.
It dealt with setting up a linear regression. You could have done by guessing and eliminating answer choices though. I believe it is very possible to get an 800 without a graphing calculator. I dont remember using mine on the test (besides basic scientific calculations) except on this question and maybe i used it once to double check on a question which asks you where does this expression intersect blah blah. And i got an 800. Even my friend had not used one and he got an 800! So dont worry! But if you can maybe borrow from someone, i would definitely use it!
:)</p>
<p>It’s going to be a LOT harder though.</p>
<p>Considering I’ve never used one before, I don’t think I’ll be able to learn how to use one in 5 days so I’m just hoping I don’t need one for the June 7th test. Fingers crossed.</p>
<p>Son got a 710 previously, he’s very happy he got an 800 in May. None left blank.</p>
<p>You’re definitely going to need one, but there aren’t many that it’s absolutely necessary for. Sure makes things a million times easier, though, especially statistics.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t recommend solving standard deviation of a set with more than ten numbers by hand. That would not be fun.</p>
