<p>-1, still 80. </p>
<p>-2, still 78</p>
<p>-3, still 76</p>
<p>I doubt it but one can always hope :)</p>
<p>Yeah, even getting one wrong on PSAT Math can bring you down to a 77, and 77 is actually generous since it’s normally a 76 or 75. That curve looks more like the one for CR though.</p>
<p>It will prob be
-1 = 750-760</p>
<p>ahaha i wish >:[
but most likely:
-0 80
-1 77
-2 74
-3 70
:[</p>
<p>if it seemed hard, -1 = 77.</p>
<p>@Arch
what would -2 be then?
74?</p>
<p>Probably. I’ve looked at every curve for the modern PSAT. A test that I found “hard” would have a curve like this:</p>
<p>-0 = 80
-1 = 77
-2 = 74
… </p>
<p>An EASY PSAT would have something like this:</p>
<p>-0 = 80
-1 = 75
-2 = 72
… </p>
<p>The “old” PSAT (the one with analogies) sometimes would have -1 = 78, but that’s because there were more questions… </p>
<p>Yeah, don’t expect PSAT curves to be nice and friendly. But remember, <em>everyone</em> is on that curve, so don’t worry about it. All that matters is your relative rank in composite score if you’re looking for national merit recognition.</p>
<p>Even though I think i only missed two questions, i think the PSAT math this year was a little trickier than normal…there were alot of questions that have been hotly debated (the digit 7 questions, the ABX question, the angle in the circle, the I,II, III for x y and z, the intersecting sequence question…if -2 this year is not AT LEAST a 74, then something is wrong.</p>
<p>So if i got -5 CR, -2 math, -3 writing…national merit for FL that had a cutoff of 211 last year?</p>
<p>^your cutoff’s only 211. <em>**. ADD 10 pts to that and you have my cutoff. You’re so *</em>*ing lucky.</p>
<p>^ Wow, fresh101… that must be tough. 
</p>
<p>I live in Michigan, where the cutoff’s a mere 209. It’s INCREDIBLY low compared to many other states, so I guess I’m thankful for that. I was aiming for over a 220 though.</p>
<p>I got 1 wrong on the PSAT math section a few years ago and my score went to 75. 
Total score was 190 ish.</p>

<p>What?! A mere 209?! I would undoutedbly get NMSF w/o even trying.</p>
<p>^ Yeah haha, I would’ve qualified for NMSF even with my sophomore year score (210)…</p>
