<p>@jasoncaa1 From what I remember the question went like this.
Given that x + 1/x > y - 1/y is true, which are possible?
I. x > y
II. x = y
III. x < y</p>

<p>All three are possible. Here are some test numbers.
I. x = 2, y = 1; (2) + 1/(2) > (1) - 1/(1), which is true.
II. x = 1, y = 1; (1) + 1/(1) > (1) - 1/(1), which is true.
III. x = 1, y = 2; (1) + 1/(1) > (2) - 1/(2), which is true.</p>

<p>∴The answer is (E) I, II, and III, since all three are possible.</p>

<p>@Janetnnho, I think I put appreciation for that one.</p>

<p>Ok so was that one of the two no errors? I think I put D for some reason, but now I think it’s actually E.</p>

<p>x and y can be the same number:D =. = not sure 1=1 x=y</p>

<p>What was the question for the 1999 grid in?</p>

<p>um, something like given x and y are 500-1000 numbers inclusive, what is the largest possible value of (x+y)/(x-y)</p>

<p>(1000+999)/ (1000-999) = 1999/1= 1999</p>

<p>hey guys, just out of curiosity what would be a potential math score for me if I missed 1 multiple choice and 1 grid-in question? thank you!</p>

<p>@anc10308 I’d say a raw score of 36 on the PSAT would translate to about a 73.</p>

<p>@anc10308 I’d say a raw score of 36 on the PSAT on the math would translate to about a 73.</p>

<p>hmm okay thank you…i’m just hoping the nms cutoff for my state isn’t as high this year as it was last year!</p>

<p>What do you think my score would be if I had
-2 Math
-1 Writing
-6-7 CR</p>

<p>@dn4144 that’s probably about what i got. i would say somewhere around a 217</p>

<p>-3math one omitted …damn!</p>

<p>@anc10308 Grid in questions don’t count if you miss them, so possibly a 76 since you only missed 1 question (going off of last year’s scores).</p>

<p>@dn4144 68-70 on CR, 77 on Writing and a 73 on math…so like a 218-220 (could be lower or higher depending on how they change the scoring this year).</p>

<p>@SemiBlackGirl i think they count, they just don’t subtract 1/4 of every grid in you miss. they wouldn’t penalize you like they do for multiple choice questions if you got it wrong but it still counts as a “wrong” answer…if that makes sense</p>

<p>@anc10308 On the PSAT score report it says that you don’t lose any points for incorrect grid in answers, so I guess you gain a point if it’s right and lose nothing if it’s wrong. That’s what my PSAT prep teacher said also, but I’m still unsure.</p>

<p>@SemiBlackGirl mm but if i missed all 10 grid in questions i wouldn’t stay at a 760</p>

<p>Getting a Grid in wrong is the same as getting any normal question wrong except that it doesn’t contribute to a penalty point.</p>

<p>@randomverll So instead of losing 1/4 of a point you lose nothing, right?</p>

<p>@SemiBlackGirl yes. it would be like omitting a question–you get it wrong, but it wouldn’t count as losing 1/4 of a point</p>
