<p>they are the same style, just like all the different versions of the SAT (October, June, etc)....</p>
<p>and the wednesday and saturday tests will be curved individually.</p>
<p>they won't be the same answers right, b/c we've just discussed them all</p>
<p>I hope the answers are same as 18th test i prob will get 80s on all HA HA!! (ok.. lol)</p>
<p>they are nottttttt the same answers.</p>
<p>i promise it is a different test.</p>
<p>How many grid ins are there on psat's?</p>
<p>there are ten.</p>
<p>Only 6 more hrs left 'till the test begins.. my stomach(guts) are about to make me o unconcious, i'm so nervous that i don't even know if i will be able to make it to the testing center?? (I drive thts why...)</p>
<p>I forgot to ask what range of scores is considered good in NJ for PSAT's?? Please answer quick...</p>
<p>the NJ cutoff was 221 the last couple of years, so i would say 220-225ish.</p>
<p>Thanxs.....!!</p>
<p>good luck tomorrow!</p>
<p>THOSE WHO TAKING PSAT's ON 21st:-
PLEASE TRY to remember what you put as answer, if possible question also, so that we can later see how we did or compare our answers etc.. Thanks!!</p>
<p>ok does anyone know if 2.74 was an answer for the (x-2.73)(x-3.??). Did it say interger. I recall it saying what number can make it a negative. Please reply asap. Thanks!!</p>
<p>also the how many 3 digit number have odd numbers in them. was that a grid-in</p>
<p>ok guys im freaking out here. my parents are like ridiculously azn and have been pressuring me to do well on the psats/sats ever since the beg of high school and to qualify for nat merit.</p>
<p>im thinking that i got 1-2 wrong on writing, 2-3 (maybe 4 if im really unlucky) wrong on math, and 2-3 wrong on CR... what kind of score do you think i'll get? (i live in MO)</p>
<p>did anybody else think it was pretty hard? i dunno if it was just my school or whatever, but i always had more time when i did practice ones at home.</p>
<p>i think you should get it....the cutoff this year for mo was about 214.....your score is about a 215-222ish, it could even be more, depends on the curve. good luck!</p>
<p>if you took the wednesday test, yeah i thought it was harder than the practice tests i have taken.</p>
<p>aahh thank u andrea, btw do we know cutoffs for nat merit this year ALREADY??</p>
<p>no, we dont know the cutoff for those who took the psat just now, in 2006. but yeah, 2005 knows.</p>
<p>does anyone know where that list of compiled commended and semifinalist cutoff scores are? I'm having trouble finding it. It had both scores for each state for 2006, 2005, 2004, etc.</p>
<p>About the math question with the area of the quadrilateral with the given coordinates. The best way to solve it was shoelace algorithm. Alternate methods included breaking it down into triangles, and subtracting the area of triangles from a larger rectangle. Google shoelace theorem, though. It is a complex thing, but it can be done really simply by an Algebra I student, if explained correctly. </p>
<p>P.S. - Pick's theorem was also a very good way to solve this.</p>
<p>P.P.S. - I have found a simple explanation of Shoelace Algorithm here:
