<p>I just found out my PSAT scores today and I did just horrendously and especially in math. I got a 65. I confirmed all the math questions discussed on CC and I only missed 1 question and omitted another. That must mean I got all the easy questions wrong. My composite score is a 200. I missed commended by 1 POINT! I’m so mad and dissapointed I can’t even believe it. My score from sophomore year was higher.</p>
<p>raiderade, could you have got off a question and shifted the answers?</p>
<p>hahahha thats actually pretty good… (the joke lol.)</p>
<p>Im gonna go ask my GC tomorrow to see my score… lets see if that works.
The hq is in evanston right? then every illinois schools should have them now…</p>
<p>Maybe that’s it. But usually I’m so careful about things like that. This is so disconcerting to me. I can’t believe I missed commended by 1 point.</p>
<p>“then every illinois schools should have them now…”</p>
<p>Mine doesn’t (unless they are lying, which is entirely possible).</p>
<p>same silver im not sure if my school has them and im in a suberb of chicago. thats y im going to go ask tomorrow cause i want to know before finals haha.</p>
<p>Eek. I just realized my research paper that I turned in today was my uncorrected version. The one I meant to turn in is in my hand right now. :(</p>
<p>^Ouch! I just finished a research paper of my own…anyway, silverturtle, do you know what the Ohio nmsf cutoff will be? I have not received my score yet, but I figure I will get 210-220.</p>
<p>Well, two years ago Ohio was 213; last year it was 211.</p>
<p>^^^i’m ohio too, but I only have about a 1% chance.</p>
<p>Chill the hell out guys! I got an 80 on the Writing and put no error for explanation of! Don’t spoil it for me! :P</p>
<p>But to lighten to mood, here’s another pretentious joke:</p>
<p>Renee Descartes walks into a bar, and the bartender asks him if he want’s a beer. He replies, “I think not.”, and instantly vanishes into a puff of logic.</p>
<p>^i’ve heard that one before…no not really. </p>
<p>Actually, that joke sucks!
What’s commended score? a 201?</p>
<p>It was 201 last year. Nobody knows for sure what it will be this year, but it usually doesn’t vary more than 1 or 2 points every year. So 199-203 is probably a sure bet for commended this year.</p>
<p>Do states that historically have only stayed the same with cutoffs or have had them lowered ever suddenly go up again? For some reason, I just don’t get the feeling thats Florida’s 211 will go up to a 212 for this PSAT, seeing as it has been 211 the past two years and has steadily gone down since 2004-2005ish.</p>
<p>^youll just have to wait and see, bro. For the average to go up, logically less people would have to have taken the exam, and a proportionately large amount of them would have to make high scores. The reality Is the test is getting more popular but as for whther smarter people are taking it, it’s a crapshoot.</p>
<p>Maybe it’ll be 212, maybe it’ll be 210, maybe it’ll be 220. Any of those options are distinctly possible. Just wait and see :-P</p>
<p>GC in KY does not have the PSAT scores as of 10am this morning (12/3/09). Said it could be as late as Christmas.</p>
<p>My d got a score of 206. So I guess she will be commended, but since we are in Texas…that’s it. still very happy.</p>
<p>Anyone want to post answers to ambiguous questions? :P</p>
<p>I just got mine back today – booklet, report sheet, the whole nine yards. I’m a Sophomore.</p>
<p>CR: 76 (1 wrong)
W: 75 (1 wrong - Wow, that curve sucked)
Math: 69 (4 wrong) - Odd, given it’s, at least I thought, rather, my best subject.</p>
<p>In Critical Reading, I got the vocabulary question wrong where the answer was “dirge” (I chose anthem). </p>
<p>Writing, I got one of those ever-so-fun “no error” questions wrong. I knew it was right, but I just hate, hate, hate picking “no error”. </p>
<p>Math - Venn Diagram (no clue, really), a^b = 64 (64^1, doh), Numbers with a ‘0’ between 99 and 1000 (Apparently I thought every number between 100-200 head a ‘0’ in it?), and some other one I don’t feel like looking up.</p>
<p>I’m from New Jersey, by the way. Sophomore year, so it means almost nothing, but I’m pretty happy where I stand.</p>
<p>Student2 - Did you omit one in CR? If you only got 1 wrong, with no omissions, then you should have an 80. I am assuming you took the Form S test.</p>
