<p>Nice list. Let’s hope that we can keep building upon it.</p>
<p>I thought the union/management one was an error because of the first part</p>
<p>^tREXtrainee wistful and melancholy is correct.</p>
<p>I put no error on management.</p>
<p>NE for union/managment.</p>
<p>For the problem where you had to factor x^2 - x - 6 > 0 to see which one was positive, can anyone with form S remember if option C was the correct answer? I can’t remember if I put (x+3)(x-2), which is incorrect, or (x-3)(x+2), which is correct.</p>
<p>This would really help me so if you remember the letter please @me!</p>
<p>I had form S. Pretty sure that was choice C.</p>
<p>If I got all correct in math and writing, does anybody have an estimate of how many CR I could get wrong and still get NMSQT in NY? (I didn’t omit any)</p>
<p>@mirell I deliberated between A and E for the longest time on that one, ended up going with E because I had only one other E and I couldn’t put a conclusive finger on how I would correct it.</p>
<p>x^2-x-6>0. I didn’t think that (x-3) (x+2) was the answer because the question was asking how to make the product of those two numbers larger than 0, so always positive. You just factored it as if it was equal to 0. Maybe I read the question wrong, so any input is fine.</p>
<p>Hey guys I want to get in on this. Im from NY and think i got a 210+. On the edge of historical National Merit scores. I got (x+2)(x+3) thinking that a positive value times a positive value would equal a positive value… Can someone explain where I went wrong?</p>
<p>@mouseman You needed a 216 in 2010, rounding up for safety I would think a 218 would guarantee you it. That means, on the average PSAT, you could get at least 6 wrong.</p>
<p>I’m getting my info from </p>

<p>What was the answer for math question that said when you add twice the smaller integer to the larger, its equal to subtracting twice the larger from the smaller, or something like that</p>
<p>@ncurcio6, for that question you were given a quadratic equation guaranteed to be above zero for all values of x. Then you were given five factored forms. One of the factored forms was the original equation factored.</p>
<p>The answer, (x+2)(x-3), when multiplied out, is x^2 - x + 6, hence it must be positive.</p>
<p>I got 16 as my answer</p>
<p>@mac21398 that was 12</p>
<p>^got the same answers as tREXtrainee, and i think the letter was E.</p>
<p>@mac21398, the answer was 12. This is how I solved for that.
L=larger integer
S=smaller integer </p>
<p>L + 2S = 2L - S (this is the question’s information written out)
-L +S -L +S
3S = L</p>
<p>The only answer choice that produced an integer when divided by three was A) 12.</p>
<p>Exactly. It was A) 12.</p>
<p>Hey what did you guys get for the last sc in the 1st section???</p>
