Getting pumped for PSAT scores.

Test Preparation
21

<p>lol i never thought we could be "mad stoked" about numbers but I guess that's the sad reality these days</p>

22

<p>ugh shoot im really hoping i can be a semifinalist. im in new york and the cutoff is 2180...... do u think i can make it with 3 wrong in writing, 1skip and 1wrong in math, and maybe at worst 10 wrong in CR? omg 10 wrong..... sounds bad....</p>

23

<p>bump........</p>

24

<p>vinny, 33 raw, 38 raw, and 35 raw in math, CR, and wr. respectively would translate to a 68, 64, and 77 according to the wednesday curve for 2004. So your selection index would be about a 209.</p>

25

<p>i'm really upset and depressed about my psat because i failed the math section horribly
i really wanted semi-finalist but i probably won't be commended even</p>

26

<p>I really don't know what I got, I think I did pretty well on all the sections and I think the MN cutoff <em>might</em> be relatively low, but I don't actually know what it is. Think I got a 217 or so on the practice test and the real one was probly close to that. I hope.</p>

27

<p>i hate to be a pest but can someone predict my score using the curves last year or tell me last years</p>

<p>i think:
math- 1 wrong, 3 omit
writing- 2 wrong
cr- 3 wrong 3 omit (ouchies here)</p>

28

<p>69 M 67 CR 80 W = 216</p>

<p>Please refer to this PDF file released last year:

<p>December 5 PSAT/NMSQT: Shipping of Score Reports to schools begins</p>

30

<p>I'm going to pester my GC for my score. If they mail my report on December 5 then my school should receive it on the 6th.</p>

31

<p>The GC's at my school are kind of slow so we'll probably get them after Christmas break...</p>

<p>Best Case: 71CR/76M/77W = 224
Worst Cast: 67CR/70M/71W = 208</p>

<p>Hoping for a miracle!</p>

32

<p>i just want over a 210 ..... all up to the PSAT Gods I guess ..... I am praying tht since the PSAT was harder (wasnt it?) this year, the curve will be better than 2004 ....
I mean c'mon - the Math and Cr was kinda difficult... if i was a junior last yr.. i would of rocked that PSAT ... grrr.. enough of this!</p>

33

<p>Best Case: 70CR/80 M/78W = 228
Worst Case: 60CR/75M/70W=205</p>

<p>Oh....man...Cutoff for NMSF in NY is about 220 so as you can see, I'm pretty nervous</p>

34

<p>Where does it say shipping begins Dec 5?!</p>

<p>And is that december 5th, 2005...or december of 2005?</p>

35

<p>@RunRinCT: Of course we're "mad stoked" because those numbers = $2500!!!!!</p>

<p>Best Case: 75CR/80M/80W=235
Worst Case: 65CR/77M/72W=214</p>

<p>I think I'm pretty safe for NMSF!!! My school had 9 last year! That's pretty crazy!</p>

36

<p>Our school had 6 NMSF;s...</p>

<p>OK here's the WORST possible scenario for me.
Math: perfect score(:))
Writing:-5
CR:-8 and 1 OMIT </p>

<p>The MI cutoff has been hovering at about 210 for the last couple of years, so based on these hypothetical numbers, would I make it???</p>

37

<p>lavendercloud, the MN cutoff was 213 this year...good luck!</p>

38

<p>Bump It Up!!!</p>

39

<p>Evil Asian Dictator
Math 80
Writing 71
CR 62
My predictions based on last year's curve..so that is a 213..</p>

40

<p>Do you guys think this year's curves will be more generous than last year's?</p>
