2007 PSAT Scores

Test Preparation
281

<p>CB wants you to get your scores from your school with an explanation of what they mean. CB recommends that schools have a presentation for students and parents when they deliver the scores. I am of the opinion most schools do not do a presentation, but just hand out the scores. My S school does nothing, never has had a formal presentation. </p>

<p>The CB sends the scores to all schools “around Dec 1”. Schools should have the scores in hand today.</p>

<p>It is just another way CB manipulates and controls the testing of high school students.</p>

282

<p>So we are waiting on the counselors, even if that’s after the first of the year?</p>

283

<p>Yes, you are still waiting on counselors if scores not available until Jan. </p>

<p>If you really want your scores, let them know what you know. That CB sends them the scores in early Dec. That other schools across the nation have already distributed scores, etc. Be proactive. </p>

<p>My S school did not distribute scores until May past years. I told them what I knew about when the scores were available to them, suddenly scores will be distributed this Fri.</p>

284

<p>Everyone keeps talking about how one wrong answer on the writing takes you down to a 76…well is it one point, or one wrong answer? If you get two wrong answers, your raw score rounds up to the equivalent of an 80, right?</p>

285

<p>If you don’t mind my asking, what state are you in? </p>

<p>I’m in Texas and I can’t remember when they were given out last year but it seemed like it was the first day back in 2007.</p>

286

<p>One wrong answer equals one point.</p>

<p>So two wrong answers would be a 73</p>

287

<p>i thought one wrong answer is minus 1/4 point</p>

288

<p>A better way to think about it is that you lose 1 pt for skipped and 1.25 for each wrong. (counting down instead of up)</p>

<p>I got two math questions wrong and got a 73.</p>

289

<p>Sophomore:</p>

<p>75 CR
71 Math
72 WS</p>

290

<p>omg!! i just noticed the the one writing question i got wrong was a scantron mistake. I COULDA GOT A 240. :(</p>

291

<p>Does being in the top 1% qualify you to be a semi-finalist?</p>

292

<p>top half of top 1% by state, check the cutoff thread and probably add 2 or 3 points (to be safe) to know if you probably made it or not.</p>

293

<p>depends on ur state. most likely no, cuz top 1% is like 210 and some states cutoff is like 220</p>

294

<p>Why won’t collegeboard post the scores? It’s not like they’re not ready…for god’s sake they were on the site 2 weeks ago!</p>

295

<p>Would the scores be available tonight? What do you guys think? any past years experiences?</p>

296

<p>You can’t retrieve your scores online without first getting the hard copy from your school. And actually, in my case last year (I took it last year as a junior), I never was able to access my online scores because the database got messed up, and they still didn’t fix it after I contacted them… Long story short, you can’t access your scores until your school gives them to you.</p>

<p>It’s interesting that the national average only came out a point lower than last year’s… scores were released at my school today, and although last year we had lots of students over 200 and three National Merit Semi’s, none of the juniors this year even topped 190. I assumed it was a test difference and not a class difference, but after seeing that, I guess they just didn’t perform well?</p>

297

<p>Does anyone know if a score of 219 in New York is enough to qualify for National Merit based on the cutoffs of previous years? (This is for students graduating in 2009).</p>

298

<p>Yay, I got 217. (73 CR, 80 Math, 64 Writing)</p>

<p>Don’t even ask about the writing.</p>

<p>But it should be good enough to make the Florida cutoff, hopefully. (I got 99th percentile and the cutoff last year was 212, and the year before was 215)</p>

299

<p>I keep forgetting to ask for my scores. Chee…</p>

300

<p>anyone able to acess college quickstart. I have my score report, i just wanna use the feature.</p>
