<p>man, i really wish i get National Merit; after all this work, if i dont, im gonna get pretty mad...</p>
<p>hmm.. what do you think the worst case scenario score is for 3/4 wrong on CR, 1 on math, and 1 on writing?</p>
<p>77+80+71 = 228 = National Merit everywhere!</p>
<p>haha i definitely hope so! my state (ma) has a ridiculously high cutoff</p>
<p>oh haha, sux to be you in MA.... its cause of all the ridiculously smart kids in prep schools that raise the average.</p>
<p>It's bad enough in CA, but its worse in MA</p>
<p>yes i remember the circle question and i didnt know wut to do i went blank</p>
<p>i took it today</p>
<p>wat did u guys say for the one about the difference of the biographer?</p>
<p>i think i put down that the 2nd said stuff about how his stuff is read later, and the 1st didnt
i dont think this is right, but it was the best one...</p>
<p>man... i think i screwed up on the writing section. I didnt manage my time effectively</p>
<p>I got more than one non error</p>
<p>I got D on the charlotte bronte</p>
<p>what did you guys put for the one about the 2nd hiking passage that said, "What was the author's reaction to seeing to two men?"</p>
<p>I think i put astonishment...</p>
<p>I put astonishment b/c he later describes that they were in awe and their physique</p>
<p>yep I put astonishment too</p>
<p>Does anyone know the Math curve?
I suppose that 2 wrong on the math would be around a 74?</p>
<p>good! that's what i thought.....</p>
<p>i think it might be higher...like 76</p>
<p>Okay that doesn't seem that bad, even though the 2 mistakes were really dumb (I said half of 72 was 36, and found the radius of the circle but forgot to find the diameter)</p>
<p>I suppose there is still a good chance that I could whip out a 225 or higher, since I haven't found any mistakes with writing or CR (Which is super unusual considering I am a math asian).</p>
<p>Oh well, it sucks living in MA.</p>
<p>72 36? what problem is this?</p>
<p>my bad I meant 64 to 36 (it was the square in the circle).</p>
<p>See these are the stupid mistakes I keep making.</p>
<p>According to the practice booklet for the PSAT, one wrong on Math is a 76 and two wrong would be a 73. I think the real curve is like + or - 1 from this.</p>
<p>Ok, don't feel bad. I didn't get the 80 cars of the x+y thing. I made a couple of mistakes in the enlish sections. Thats taking for granted that i didn't get bubble dyslexia (filling in a different bubble than what you want to)</p>
<p>eh...CT isn't much better lol</p>
