*OFFICIAL PSAT THREAD 2014 (US)*

<p>@balrog29‌ </p>

<p>I believe the behavior passages were in the first section? </p>

<p>@Tennistiger‌ - Thanks for the consolation :slight_smile: Hopefully the CR curve will be forgiving…</p>

<p>Are you talking about the dolphin 1?</p>

<p>@balrog29‌ </p>

<p>Yes the dolphin one </p>

<p>what about(please predict guys)
cr:=-6(at best)/-8(at worst)
wri: -2 at worst
math:-1
last years cutoff in florida was 211 do i have a chance for nmsf or f</p>

<p>the first one used an anecdote which was central to the argument</p>

<p>I’m freaking out about this PSAT and I know it’s absolutely no good because it’s a fait accompli…
Math: -5 (at best)
CR: -4 (at best)
Writing: -1 (at best)</p>

<p>I know I won’t make NM, so I really want to be Commended. Any chance?</p>

<p>@db6006 the Chinese women question had to be e) cannot be determined. The question only specified the percentage of women and the percentage of people who spoke chinese. For all we know, only the men might have known chinese => 0 women speaking Chinese. Since the question didn’t describe the relationship between the two proportions, the only viable answer was e.</p>

<p>Please Predict my Score

<p>was one of the writing questions errors simultaneously at the same time ( or was that from practice test i did)</p>

<p>someone please predict my score- math: -1 CR: -5 WR: -1</p>

<p>Can someone please predict my score?</p>

<p>CR: -2
M: -5
W: -1</p>

<p>Hopefully it’s 211 or above, since that’s been the cutoff in Florida for National Merit.</p>

<p>@icequeenforever CR: 80 (That said, many of the questions are suspect, so I would say more around 75 for -5 points.) M: 68 W: 79</p>

<p>o you think that this PSAT was deliberately screwed up by the test makers</p>

<p>why are there no more discussions going on here? Could someone make a compilation of something regarding predicted curves?</p>

<p>When will the curves come out (the official one by the college board)?</p>

<p>@mathgeek2013 People are afraid to discuss it now; I think more than a few people had different answers than the so-called “census” and have been scared of learning how many answers they supposedly got wrong.
People want to let it go for now. Everyone needs to remember, though, that the toughest SAT questions are designed so that only 15% get the answer right. I’m sure that, on the CR, at least one of the questions heavily debated here was basically automatic for you during the test. Consider the math portion – I think it’s a joke, but acknowledge that only 25% or probably less got the hexagon question correct.
I am not saying that the popular answers are wrong, just they are not absolute. I remember that last month I took the 2009 QAS for some month, and then looked on these forums to see what the discussions had been 5 years ago. I must say, it was highly interesting to see the most popular answers turn out to be incorrect for CR and even Writing. I think CB needs to take a serious look at some of those questions and re-evaluate them for this PSAT, however. </p>

<p>I still remember an AP Euro question that had 8% correct responses… That was funny – I had gotten the correct answer when our teacher administered the test in class and everyone just dismissed my answer. </p>

<p>This makes me feel a little better thanks. Cutoff in Hawaii is about 215, so I’m aiming for national merit there. I might have missed 1-2 CR, 2 Math, and 0-2 writing, so I’m hoping… If not, I’ll just try to better in the November SAT. I actually think that this PSAT was easier than the practice tests I took.</p>
