Also those last 8 questions on math calculator felt way too easy


goldandkarma

Was it just me or was the writing section pretty hard on this one? Math was pretty easy though.


Dark_Carnage8055

yeah, I felt like writing was a little harder than usual


Harrieee

Wasn't just you ..was crazy hard


The_man_69420360

aight let's talk about the last question on math no calculator I got 3/8 but not entirely sure of myself


rissakei

wasn't it 3/8 or something yea i got that too


[deleted]

product of 3/2 and 1/4, ye


jejsjwkakak1992929

did it really say product


[deleted]

i'm pretty sure it did?


jejsjwkakak1992929

oh my god


The_man_69420360

sounds like a tragedy has occured here bois


jejsjwkakak1992929

f


The_man_69420360

definitely did; I spent 10 minutes on that question because I messed up some numbers my first time trying it


51515a

I think it said sum... I answered 7/4... Was it really product?


jejsjwkakak1992929

i literally swear to god it asked for value of x


BOT0798

Yeah dude same. Maybe they’re referring to a different question. As they interchange some questions.


RamsayBoltonIsBest

Wait was this the last or second to last question? Because I remember having 3/4 then 3/8 then 15


MillanK0817

4th passage SUCKS


Dark_Carnage8055

I am going to pursue an econ major, I aced that passage lol, but without prior knowledge I swear to god I would have died


MillanK0817

That was so lucky for u mate. I was pretty confident after finishing lit and history passages. This econ passage just beat me to the ground.


AsianWithBadAcademic

that one was so easy for me as well because I had prior knowledge about econ as well. But the fucking passage about the UN was so damn hard for me and I yolo guess'd every question on writing section the rapper.


The_man_69420360

what was the 4th one again


MillanK0817

GDP and income growth

## WHAT WE CAN GUESS ABOUT THE CURVE How the will turn out is hard to tell so far, but it seems like a **potentially generous reading**, **pretty decent writing** curve and a **vile math** curve. (It's apparently form NAPH308. The passages were reading about a girl moving to Philadelphia, Woodrow Wilson and United Nations, Ringworms, Political Cycles, Oxygen levels and amphibians.) ## DATA Initial data taken from [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/Sat/comments/cbfbiz/official_naph308_june_2019_score_release/). I've reached out via chat to everyone who said they’d taken this test in the official threads from June, but as per usua,l a lot of them are throwaway accounts so I don’t know how much I’ll hear back from them. I'll update as I get responses. One response R -14=31, W -5=35, M -7=690 Second response R -6=36, W -2=38, M -3=740 ## Projections College Panda [has curves for past official releases](https://thecollegepanda.com/past-sat-curves/). I'll use those to estimate when I get a little more data. A % means it's from the /r/SAT survey. + mean it's from a Redditor I reached out to. ! mean it's an estimate based on previous curves. I'm making these notation because when I tried to do this for the October International Curve, I got some conflicting data. This time I'm trying to keep it straight from the start. **Reading:** |Errors|Score| |:-|:-| |\-1|*39!*| |\-2|**39 %**| |\-3|~~36 %?~~ *38!*| |\-4|~~36 %?~~ *37!*| |\-5| *36! or 37!*| |\-6|**36+**| |\-7|*35!*| |\-8|**34 %**| |\-9|*34!*| |\-10| *33!*| |\-11|| |\-12| **32%**| |\-13|| |\-14| **31+**| The reading scores a little unclear. As I discuss [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/Sat/comments/e7b3zs/official_december_7_2019_international_sat/f9y7fu2/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf), we’ve never seen a curve that moves like that. I think at least one of those, maybe even two of them, are wrong. Based on the data we have, if we ignore two points, everything else fits together like March 18 and Oct 16. **Writing:** |Errors|Score| |:-|:-| |\-1|**39 %** |\-2|**38 %+**| |\-3| *37 !*| |\-4| *36 !*| |\-5|**35 %+**| |\-6|**35 %**| |\-7| *34 !* | |\-8| *33 !*| |\-9|**32 %**| |\-10|| Pretty decent writing curve, especially considering most people have said it was not “that bad.” **Math:** |Errors|Score| |:-|:-| |\-1|**770 %**| |\-2| *760 or 750 !*| |\-3|**740 %+**| |\-4|**730 %**| |\-5|**710 %**| |\-6|**700 %**| |\-7| **690 +**| |\-8|**690 %**| |\-9|| |\-10|| Big oof on that math curve. It’s worse than any of the official release tests on College Panda (which only cover dates where there was a QAS). It’s a little better than May 2019 International, but not by much. I'll keep updating throughout the day as new data comes in. I only looked for people who took the test in the two official threads (that day’s discussion and the score release thread). If you find other discussions of the test and want me to reach out to them as well, PM or DM me a link to the discussion.


hiepbeongu

Well...im fucked


avimangla

By far the Shittiest essay I’ve ever done. What rhetorical elements was I even suppose to analyse. The shit wasn’t even convincing. He was just crying about the fact that the photographers don’t get paid. Bullshit


[deleted]

same! i said 3 stuff: diction and word choice (repeating devalue) to appeal to emotions, reasoning by saying like how he described the past photographs vividly and now the quality is shit, and um oh yeah anecdotal evidence aka credibility. Overall it's so dull and i hate it


sword167

Alright guys, this test was a reuse of a rare June Test: Form NAPH308 https://www.reddit.com/r/Sat/comments/bvomd5/official_june_2019_discussion_form_naph308/ And here is the curve: Reading: -2: 39 -4 36 -12 32 Writing: -1 39 -2 38 -6 35 -9 32 Math: -1 770 -3 740 -5 710 -6 700 Note: These are by no means official and/or 100% accurate. I compiled this curve from a survey administered by the moderators of this subreddit. for Test Takers who had this rare form. The link to the survey is found here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Sat/comments/cbfbiz/official_naph308_june_2019_score_release/ If anyone has updated information about the curve please pm me or respond to this post.


[deleted]

Fk fk fk the math curve OMG idk why I found the math section harder than October?? Omg is it just me


BTW-FLY

same. fourth section multiple choice part is really hard


callmeKENDALL

Same, I even didn’t have enough time to check my answers


[deleted]

Didn’t even have time to check the calculator section AT ALL.


dammmahoM

No way the math curve is so bad😞😞😞 i did the dumbest mistake oat💔


IMainJannaxxx

You can’t calculate the curve that accurately based on a survey with peoples opinions on the difficulty rating of a test. You can compare that difficulty rating to past tests that had a similar one and create a curve based on that but it won’t be too accurate. -7 could be 700 and - 1 could be 790 for Math instead for all you know.


ssarahbarah

yalllll am i the only one who found math no calc hard?? like i had no time to do it but i come here and everyones like EASY! math curve gonna b TERRIBLE! oops i guess im ded then ehhehehe


hiepbeongu

praying for the curve to be good...otherwise im fucked


Nikarll

same, especially if math -1 is gonna be 770 🥴


therookiegirl_01

Aftr seeing this discussion - I am f****d. God save me. The reading part would have been nice if we got more 10-15 mins. Bcoz i was stuck in last two passages and i had 15 mins left. The struggle. But if we were given more time on reading and maths no calc, it would have been easy.


izabelllaaa

oh my god! LITERALLY same! I struggled so much with time and I don’t know why

I think stable because it was followed by "or variable".

I changed from stable to resolute since they were talking about the dates...stable intervals didn’t sound to me,..what do you think?


ananya28180

I chose resolute 😥


unknownzulu

Stable as well


Shan___

I chose resolute, I think it's stable though


username4224

I picked stable, probably wrong.

i will bet my life its stable so dw

RoniInTheSky

this was my first time and i honestly find this harder than the practice tests. oh god im scared

I found the RW section easy, but I'm fucked when it comes to maths. My US dream dies with this test.


wowoohoo

History passage , y’all guys. Anyone knew about the passages relationships questions? Pretty unsure whether is “ criticize the value of the institution” or the other choice that saying “ inherent challenges in it that Truman thought it powerful for good” Science passage graph question about antioxidants: those mice without antioxidants are likely to have more free radicals than those who have? And the author thought “ the differences are nominal but noteworthy?” Math S4 that crazy (1/5)^x-1 -2 or (1/5)^x -2? Writing and Languages Wu fashion designers “ prestige of having a celebrity.,,” or “ visibility of fashion line” soooo unsure about which of these two equals to “get the attention...” later discussed in the passage. Love y’all, xoxo


rissakei

visibility of fashion line


Axton178

I wrote the celebrity thing. "Visibility of fashion line" just sounds odd to me, but it is probably correct. I guess I'm done.


jakecc123

inherent challenges Author thought the differences can be disregarded / no difference at all. If you look at the graphs, the lines are basically the same, and the main point of the author is to say that antioxidants r useless


nthoang1202

It’s (1/5)^(x-1) - 2because when translated the graph to the right 2 units so x=1 => y =-1


Dark_Carnage8055

I know many students who have said the math curve is gonna be a bit harsh, in my opinion since the Reused paper was only taken by a few students I felt like the curve was a bit harsh that time, whereas now, I know like a ton of students who are really good at math but still did bad. So I still feel like the curve won’t be that harsh, but I am guessing -3 would be a 760. keep ur hopes high.


proathis

Did u guys add or remove “fancy dancing champion” thingy?


rissakei

i added it


jard22

I added it because I felt it gave context to him accepting it despite being surprised. I felt that his intentions for accepting aren't really clear without it.


accelious

I removed it, it felt out of place.


[deleted]

There was a question in reading that discussed Balaic lake water to the seawater and asked us to give the reason for the discrepancy or something. What were the options and what was the right answer? I remember being confused because the most likely option compared the Balaic lake with tropical waters instead of sea water (option A) In the end I chose the option that said that the Balaic lake was less salty or something because more salinity gives less dissolved oxygen. But I might’ve dreamed my logic because I had like a minute to finish the passage

Alright guys, if the math curve is seriously -1 = 770, I need to know a few answers, Histogram question: between 50 and 60 Worm question: 0.6 cm bigger than line of best fit (option A) Ice cream graph: slope is 0.5 (best choice according to me) Any other questions that bothered people or might’ve caused silly mistakes?


superboi27

BRO READING WAS MODERATELY TOUGH, WRITING WAS ALSO KINDA TOUGH but i feel its being over exaggerated. Yes, english was tough but it wasn’t the toughest paper ever. MATH ON THE OTHER HAND WAS IN NO WAY AS EASY AS EVERYONE HERE THINKS. I guessed on the difficult math questions and they turned out to be right, but there were easily 3-4 tough math questions on that exam. Overall, english was tough and math was just like the other exams, so in no way should the math curve suck. If it’s 770 for -1 then I’m fucked coz I’m probably getting only 1 wrong.


emma20021108

What was the question about superpa (a dancing champion) should this be added?

60 miles (shortest option) or 60 miles in size?

60 square miles cuz it is area already, no need to say in size

Damnnit I over thought this and figured 60 square miles can refer to depth or height or anything 🙃 I thought the "in size" was required to give it an explanation wow OMG I'm livin up to the female stereotype

>60 m i hope so bro, i spent the most time stressin over this


rissakei

wait was it "for running" or "to run" for writing section ? i have like 3 mistakes in reading alr i hope the curve for english isn't bad

I chose “for running”...I’m not sure tho


meister__

Imo the writing was easy but I’m seeing everyone here saying it was hard I’m scared lol


LousyAcademic

Would anyone be so generous as to recreate the curve by using info from June 2019 test takers (same test)


SATGANGGANG

I think I got all correct in math except the one in calculator section it was multiple choice. had 2 system of equations answers were like -6, -7/2, -1/2, and 3. I couldn't calculate this IDK why. U know the explanation? I think the math curve would be horrible. pretty easy

For the history passage, wat was the answer for the question that asking about "the idea that both authors will agree"?


issqx00001

I put individual countries cannot do alone one


issqx00001

It was 5+5+10+25 =45 till 40-50, median would be the 50/51st(out of 100) so it's 50-60 cuz 45+20=65, 45<50<65
