October 2013 PSAT Takers

<p>Was that one math one with the chart 116 or 124?</p>

<p>Does anyone remember the details of the vocab question regarding … not used to taking a … role? Also the author question?
I am trying to remember the book question, with the chances of books and students? It was a fill in math?</p>

<p>The book question? Are you talking about the college major one? I think it was 3/8 probability? or something like that.
Does anyone remember the free response math questions?</p>

<p>Yes, I am trying to remember the total number of books. Which free response question?</p>

<p>Grid-In questions</p>

<p>Um the total number of books was 120 and then answer was 45/120 = 3/8, no ninadasiy, you are correct. </p>

<p>For the computer usage problem i put 116 because the problem stated that each (total of 8) students used 2 other period so 132 - 16 = 116</p>

<p>120 total books,
35 Math
40 English
45 History
45/120
=3/8 or .375</p>

<p>-sorry typo-</p>

<p>6, 875, 7, 1/9, 36, 3/8 or .375 (not 37.5 guys really), 1999, 4, 3 (not sure of order really guys who do you think i am jesus or something)</p>

<p>passive… balk vs confrontational…reciprocate
although she was recognized for x, y, z it is her musical compositions for which she is most recognized (something along those lines figure it out guys)</p>

<p>What did you put for the writing question between “add to before arrange” and “change but to and also”?</p>

<p>Exactly when do we get our scores back? I know it’s sometime in early December, but is there a specific day, and will I be able to see them online from my CollegeBoard account?</p>

<p>If someone takes the test this year as a sophomore and gets above the National Merit cut off score, will they qualify for NM this year? How much do scores go usually go up between sophomore/junior year? When do scores arrive?</p>

<p>the question with the books…I think the question was overly ambiguous…someone should definitely appeal that one…it asked for probability which can be either assumed to be out of 1 or out of 100(if you assume it wants a percentage)…many put down .375 and others might have put down 37.5(in percentage form)…</p>

<p>Sophomore scores do not count towards National Merit and are not seen by colleges. Scores should arrive in December.</p>

<p>think i got 124.</p>

<p>no jk… just checked my calc… got 116</p>

<p>can you please explain 116? I got 124</p>

<p>Any predictions on the scale? I came out of the testing room thinking I had a 230, but I keep finding more and more CR questions I missed (thinking 65/80/80 now, but totally unsure on writing). Missing a few writing questions will kill off NMS. Ugh.</p>

<p>anyone know what past PSAT scales have been in the previous years?</p>

<p>It was definitely 124, there were 140 total and you had to subtract 16 b/c the 8 students went twice other than their lunch period so their seemingly 24 usages of the lab should be deemed as 8 (24-16), not 24-24 b/c you still have to count one of their visits</p>

<p>@timemachine1</p>

<p>nah, probability means fraction in general so 3/8, or in other words .375. they never asked for percentage and if they wanted it in percentage, they would’ve said (Disregard the percentage sign), etc.</p>
