Curves for PSAT?

Test Preparation SAT Preparation
21

<p>wait so 8 blank and 3 wrong in CR is really a 600? I thought it would be around 650.</p>

22

<p>^Not for the PSAT. There are only 48 questions of CR.</p>

23

<p>@KeepRolling</p>

<p>well last year's wednesday curve would say 62
last year's saturday curve would say 63
(don't have 2006 curve)
2005w would say 61
2005s would say 63</p>

<p><<<wait so="" 8="" blank="" and="" 3="" wrong="" in="" cr="" is="" really="" a="" 600?="" i="" thought="" it="" would="" be="" around="" 650="">> This is a score of 58 in CR</wait></p>

<p>How big of a role does luck play on the PSAT? this includes the type of math problems that shows up, as well as the type of vocab/passages</p>

26

<p>CR - harder than this year's practice test. 47/48 raw = 80
Math - again, more difficult (or more tricky) questions than the practice test. -1 = 77ish
Writing - about the same as practice test and last year's official test. So -1 = 76-78</p>

<p>@jamesford did you take the wed test or sat test</p>

28

<p>^ Wednesday</p>

<p>Gah, I'm freaking out!
Could someone tell me if approximately 2 wrong in each section (+/-1) would be enough for a 221? I assume that is what I'd need in New Jersey. I took the Saturday test, btw.</p>

30

<p>2 wrong in each should be plenty for a 221. I got 11 wrong last year (6 CR, 4 M, 1 W) and still got 212.</p>

31

<p>ouch im shooting for 200. Lol to atleast get commended.</p>

32

<p>I was also wondering, is commended based on a national cutoff or is it also based on the state cutoffs for semifinalists? If there's a national one, does anyone know what it has been for the previous years?</p>

33

<p>^Should be 200 for commended. I don't think it varies by state.</p>

34

<p>Can anyone guess what getting 3 wrong on CR, 2 on math, and 2 on writing is. At least 213? I took the test on wednesday.</p>

35

<p>That's like 222.</p>

36

<p>For CR if I omitted 5 and got 2 wrong could I maybe get a 65?</p>

37

<p>^ i think that's about a 65 for cr.</p>

38

<p>what 1 omit and 1 wrong for math?</p>

39

<p>Can anyone tell me approximately what a wrong answer and 4 omitted answers will receive in math?</p>

40

<p>^ 65-68</p>

<p>10 char</p>
