October 6th Sat -- what to do?

Hey everyone!

I'd like to start by saying, no this isn't a thread for self-gratification and for praise or what not.

I took the SAT yesterday (junior now), and I wanted to estimate my score to see if I needed to cancel it as many colleges demand to see all your scores.
From your past experiences, can you perhaps help me determine where my score will fall?

Probably 10-12 Essay
-1-2 CR
-0 Math
-1-2 Writing

I'm really trying to hit 2350+, and I just wanted to ask you guys if you think this will cut it.

EDIT: the reason why I didn't post this on college confidential is because I don't have an account, and I know many of you do have exp. with the SAT

Thanks again!

@AmyrIin: Anything below 800 in math is humiliation.

I averaged out the past curves. Worst I could do is 760 760 750 if i added a few more errors here and there. Best I could do is 800 800 800. Idk bro best luck to me i guess.

How'd you do on it?

Go for the best. Get those scholarships. Succeed. I lucked out with a 27 on my ACT and got a $5,500 scholarship to my school. Go for the best score you can get!

[quote=alostwish]The December one has the best curve since everyone is studying for finals.
Yesterday's SAT sucked because there was a freaking fire or w/e and we had to wait outside for 40 minutes. </3[/quote]

[quote=AmyrIin]Dang that makes me wanna cancel it.
I thought the Oct curve would be the best seeing as the dumber seniors who either wait until the last moment or failed before take it now.[/quote]
True, but all the tryhard juniors who studied over the summer all take it as well. I remember the OCT one being historically a harder curve. My bro took the november one and got only -10 for a math question, -20 for a writing, and a -10 for a reading.

[quote=Tabris]Yes it is. But to answer your question, probably low 2300s, maybe even high 2200s. If you get a 12 on the essay, and get only one wrong on each of the two you mentioned, then yeah, 2350+ is possible. I wouldn't cancel anyways. The October SAT curves are pretty brutal. I don't know why I took it this time.[/quote]
