<p>W>CR>M</p>
<p>Math was alright, except the student responses.</p>
<p>im usually great at Writing and Critical Reading, but what the front door is up with the fact i wasnt on wednesday? at least i was killing the math section i guess.</p>
<p>So I looked at the test from last year (well some of the questions from it) and this one was by FAR much easier.</p>
<p>@Zombie: I just logged onto MyCollegeQuickstart to check your claim.</p>
<p>Math: It was definitely easier last year. The questions last year weren’t overly difficult and did not take a lot of time to solve.</p>
<p>CR: It was also easier. The hardest sentence completion question was shockingly easy, and the prose wasn’t that difficult to read either.</p>
<p>W: This section was definitely more difficult. My explanation for this being that more usage errors were present and therefore much harder to detect.</p>
<p>I really think that this is gonna be the curve this year:
CR: 80, 80, 79, 77, 75, 72, 70, 68, 66, 65, 62, 60, 58, 56
M: 80, 79, 76, 74, 72, 70, 66, 65, 63, 60, 58, 56, 55, 53
W: 80, 76, 75, 72, 70, 68, 63, 62, 61, 60, 59, 56, 54, 52</p>
<p>I took it yesterday and I was surprised to find that they reused a critical reading passage from last year. The Writing section I found harder than last year, and the Math section easier.</p>
<p>Edit: I’m amused by the fact that I hadn’t viewed the post above me before writing this post, yet came to the same conclusion</p>
<p>I don’t know if I’m correct, but I had suspicions that some CR questions/passages were reused from the March SAT. Anyone else? Some questions just seemed so goddamn familiar.</p>
<p>I think it is really impossible to objectively estimate the curve and how hard respective tests are. We’ll just have to wait until December :)</p>
<p>Also @ anaychi, some of the CR questions definitely were from the December 2008 SAT, it’s been confirmed</p>
<p>I’m not ready at all. I just took the practice test and got a score of 174. I’m still kinda angry that I got it. I just hope the real test tomorrow is a lot easier…</p>
<p>which vocab list u guys use?</p>
<p>and I had to get sick just now. with the PSAT tomorrow -_-</p>
<p>I’m fairly nervous. I had felt pretty prepared up til now, but now I’m pretty freaked out. I still need to do a practice test to see how I stand after my review.</p>

<p>Ugh I so wish I had the test on Saturday…</p>
<p>Today is the big day! Haha I hope this test is easy!</p>
<p>Goal: m-75 r-65 w-60 </p>
<p>:D</p>
<p>Math was hardest for me but not unbearable. Even though I’m double-accelerated in math, haha… I just have this thing about math tests where I freak out and can’t think in a straight line. CR and writing were really easy though. (Watch me do badly on them even as I say this :P)</p>
<p>My math teacher told us she always did better on CR and writing than math XD She said the math section requires you to know “tricks” (that they don’t teach you in school) in order to complete the section in 25 minutes. Like, if you actually had time to think about the problems, you could probably solve most of them, but the PSAT and SAT doesn’t give you enough time ._.</p>
<p>I thought math was very easy; I felt confident in all my answers. Writing was easy but had a few curveballs. CR was by far the hardest.</p>
<p>Math was sooooooo easy i had 10 minutes left for each section I used my time effectively watching a tennis match outside of the classroom i was in :)</p>
<p>It’s funny how different people think different sections are harder. I thought the critical reading was easy, the writing was insultingly easy, and the math was pretty tough. But then again I’m a failure at math. When I look at those equations I freeze up, forget what to do, and assign all the variables numbers so I can just work them out with actual values to compare. Needless to say, that takes way too much time. xD</p>
<p>What do you guys think about the guessing penalty? Some people tell me they like it because it means they can skip one they have no clue on and not feel as bad, but it freaks me out to see that empty bubble. And then if I think I might know the answer I’m frantically trying to decide whether guessing is worth the possible deduction. O_O</p>
<p>I hate the guessing penalty. Because of it, I might miss NMSF.</p>
