<p>Any thoughts on the curve this year? Being from Maryland the cutoff is pretty nasty.....Last year I had like 9 wrong on the math <a href="Had%20not%20taken%20geometry">4, 5 grid ins</a> and I received a 61. </p>
<p>Why is there such a harsh curve on the PSAT?</p>
<p>the curve is always harsh. i got ONE wrong on math two years ago and got a 76.</p>
<p>they give such a harsh curve because the test is easier?</p>
<p>1) less questions than SAT
2) the group of kids taking the PSAT is pretty competitive, unlike the SAT which everyone takes</p>
<p>yeah, last year i got one fill in wrong for math...(no points off) and got a 75
i think thats crazy</p>
<p>The questions seemed quite a bit easier than the SAT I took in June. Are they supposed to be similar or is the PSAT naturally easier?</p>
<p>Getting one wrong in any section lowers your score by a LOT. Not just this year, but every year. Especially on the math section :/</p>
