*OFFICIAL PSAT THREAD 2014 (US)*

<p>@schakrab: How did you get the math question with the roman numerals??? I’m jealous :P. I think I qualified for nm, but being a sophomore, I’m unfortunately disqualified from that honor…</p>

<p>that confused me- I don’t like questions where there’s an adjective in front of the noun. I thought you were just supposed to look at the noun, and reflection seemed better than narrative to me. Hope the CR curve is good</p>

<p>@Schakra so did i get it right or what?</p>

<p>@Pbobby how do you think you did?</p>

<p>the answer comes about by manipulating the two values they give you 5 and 3. Forget the exact equations, but no way you can get a 4 from there so it’s either 2 or 8.</p>

<p>Yeah I got a 231 last year and was pissed that I had to take it again especially after doing better on the SAT and ACT</p>

<p>could someone predict my score? -2 crtical reading. -2 math and -2 writing?</p>

<p>But first passage was definitely chronological, in my opinion
@JuicyMango‌
If abs(a-b)=5
abs(a-c)=3
a-b= either 5 or -5
a-c= either 3 or -3
So (a-c)-(a-b)=b-c= (3-5)or(-3-5)or(3–5)or(-3–5)
= -2, -8, 8, 2
And abs(b-c)=2, 8</p>

<p>hey guys, last year, when i was a tenth grader, i scored 190-psat and 1840-sat, this significant drop worried me that my sat scores will not be nearly as high as my junior psat. with a 190 on the psat i expected a 1970 on the sat, since most people report a significant increase. could the 60 point difference be because i took it in 10th grade? will i likely see my SAT score be higher in my junior year than my junior PSAT?</p>

<p>reflection implies that he reflected, which means to evaluate their memories. He didn’t. He merely stated which is a narrative</p>

<p>@gurlygurl: A philosophical reflection would be VERY deep. Deep as in, “Why is a dolphin called a dolphin”, or “why is the sky blue” kind of questions. He was merely presenting an anecdotal piece to help prove his point.
And generally, it is assumed you look at the whole word. For example “Deathly pony” could become a whole different animal if you just looked at the noun :).</p>

<p>@Rurouni‌ - Definitely NM, you really can’t predict a definitive score without knowing what the curves will be like.</p>

<p>Never have I seen so much debating over the CR questions. It is actually unbelievable.
This is why I like math / science / music – It’s either correct or wrong.</p>

<p>thanks @glasshours‌ </p>

<p>for the math one with the shaded square inside of a bigger rectangle (8x12), did you guys get x equals 4?</p>

<p>What are the chances that CB will actually reconsider the CR questions?</p>

<p>Got to go guys. I’m just going to start studying the new PSAT and SAT :). Hopefully they won’t be as ambiguous as this test.</p>

<p>this was their parting gift to us (with the new PSAT format coming out next time)</p>

<p>can you guys let me know what approximate score i would get if i missed 3 on cr, 2 on math and 2 on writing?</p>

<p>I agree, that’s why ACT may be a better fit</p>
