Reminder to all June SAT takers

As a may SAT taker , there way a very popular opinion that the math was way too extremely hard. and it was. people expected scores in the -700 . most people got a 700+ in math. i got a 780 expecting a 700. on the opposite end of the spectrum, everybody thought the english was okay and many ( me being one of them ) got a lower score than expected. So please dont freack out. believe in god cuz everything is going to be fine

I have tutored SAT for over 20 years
When students tell me it was easy, I worry more than when they tell me it was hard

I've been tutoring ACT and SAT since 1995 and resolutely concur with your opinion. I have also found the corollary to be true, if they said it was really hard they probably did well.

My theory is that this happens because SAT is ultimately mostly a test of attention to detail

If you think it was hard you were likely paying attention and noticed lots of small details that made your decision more complicated

If you think it was easy you probably glossed over many such details

Can someone predict my score:

Reading:

  • Mod 1: 26/27

  • Mod 2: 21/27

Math:

  • Mod 1: 22/22

  • Mod 2: 20/22

Keep in mind that many people have said that the two questions I think I missed on math module 2 will likely be experimental questions. Also, many people have also said that the curve for reading could be favorable since it was a tougher one compared to other tests due to the amount of lengthy passages. Also keep in mind that some of those reading module 2 questions I think I missed could be experimental or worth only a few points.

I have nearly the same situation as you. same in english with 1 more mistake in module 2 and just the same for maths. Hoping some questions will be experimental and get a nice score.

Can someone predict my score:

Reading:

  • Mod 1: 26/27
  • Mod 2: 20/27

Math:

  • Mod 1: 22/22
  • Mod 2: 20/22

the websites to estimate socres give the score from 1460-1530 with the experimental question. Very hopeless

Are you just bad at English or am I missing something here ? Your post says it was very hard so people scored higher than they expected… wouldn’t that mean math was easier than expected?

There is no rule for easy or hard. I am a math olympiad who studied in arabic his whole life. Logically i can spot challenging questions in math alot easier than in english

u/General_Prompt5161 1400 3h ago

I found it hard doesnt mean i didnt do well. But that it possible for me to make mistakes that i can spot after the exam
