<p>Hi guys, sorry for another one of these threads but…</p>
<p>I got 2000 on the January SAT
670 CR
680 M
650 W w/ 8 essay</p>
<p>I normally only miss like 1 or 2 per reading section and like none for math… what gives?? I was expecting at LEAST 2200!!</p>
<p>You had a bad day? You weren’t used to the pressure of the time limit? You took easy practice tests? There’s a lot that could have gone wrong for you.</p>
<p>I did bb practice tests… and I had at least 5 minutes at the end of every section left! I thought the test was very easy too… maybe I bubbled in wrong -__-</p>
<p>buy the qas to see if where you tripped up.</p>
<p>I highly doubt that you bubbled answers incorrectly. The real thing is tougher and more pressured, hey?</p>
<p>I think you should look to the extra 5 minutes you had in each section and the fact that you thought the test was easy. I think you fell for some of the answer ‘traps’ that populate the higher level questions. These traps are written to reflect the mistakes people are most likely to make, especially when they aren’t paying close attention and double checking their work. You need to study the kinds of ‘distracters’ (wrong answer choices) the test writers tend to use and then go over your answers to see how many of them caught you.</p>
<p>The test’s curve was insanely hard this time. In fact, it was so difficult it wasn’t even on <a href=“http://www.erikthered.com/tutor/SAT-Released-Test-Curves.pdf[/url]”>http://www.erikthered.com/tutor/SAT-Released-Test-Curves.pdf</a>
… for both the mc subscore and CR!</p>
<p>Yeah, 2120 here…</p>
<p>The curve on that exam, from what I have heard, is terrible.</p>
<ol>
<li>harsh curve this time (as mentioned above)</li>
<li>actual test day pressures > pressures of taking practice tests</li>
<li>panic attacks during the test?</li>
</ol>
<p>lol i’m on the same boat as you -.-</p>
<p>you are already higher than me…</p>
<p>yea, the curve was pretty harsh. I got a 2170, but one more writing question correct could have pushed me to 2200…=(</p>
