<p>-4 and 2 omit i think would be like a 650 area for math.
-4 and 1 omit on writing is good, lower 700 to 730 range.
4 omit and 12-14 wrong on CR.. eh not too good hehe. Id say 600 range.</p>
<p>wait, maybe 570-590.</p>
<p>cool,12- 14 wrong and 4 omit is still in the 600 range?</p>
<p>I hope the curve for math is 80 80 70. That would be funny, and as long as I don't get any more math questionss wrong, I'd get an 80.</p>
<p>what i meant by 600 range is 590-610. im not sure, im basing this guess on the practice tests ive taken and sheer memory. it could be as low as 550.</p>
<p>cool , i think i got 6 wrong on CR ... what ya think i would get???</p>
<p>6 wrong would be sweet. it would be like 700-730 area.</p>
<p>I wish shrvas ... even:
80
78
77
would be okay .. its when this happens when i get frustrated
80
77
73</p>
<p>I REALLY don't think the pentagon one is 36. They have the pentagon with two diagonals that form an isosceles triangle in the middle, and they give you the middle angle of the vertex that both diagonals end at as 72 degrees right? So then the pentagon is divided into 3 triangles, and the 2 edge ones are congruent via SAS, or SSS, whichever you prefer. Since the middle triangle is isosceles, and the one angle given is the 72, then the other 2 angles are both 54 degrees. So the angles of the top angles of the 2 congruent triangles are both 108-54= 54 degrees. And via subtraction, x degrees (what the question asks for) must be 180-108-54= 18 degrees, which is what i put.</p>
<p>That is unless I misidentified the angle that was given as 72, was it one of the congruent angles of the middle isosceles triangle or was it the one that was towards the bottom of the pentagon, as I believed it to be.</p>
<p>I only know of one question that i've gotten wrong for sure so far. I live in Florida, and I couldn't get that sultry meant hot and humid. That's not to say there aren't others, it's just that's the only one I'm positive I've missed.</p>
<p>For the grid in, I got 1111 too! I was so nervous about it too. I got 14 for the grid in on averages. I struggled with the Pentagon one, so I guessed with 36 since I don't lose any points. For the tough number 20, I think I got it wrong. I kept getting 24, which wasn't on there, so I think I guessed with E or D. I was stupid at times.
Then again, why am I so concerned with PSATs. Most colleges don't care about them at all for admissions, but just for scholarships and aid, right?</p>
<p>I got 18 too. But I asked someone, and he said that i identiaifed the angle wrong. And he's a MOPper, so I'm going to trust him. But Hopefully he's wrong.</p>
<p>drummer, I think you got a little too involed in this problem</p>
<p>You are given a pentagon ... so:
(5-2)*180 = 540</p>
<p>Each side then must be 108 ......
Two angel bisectors cut the angel into three equal parts... X= one of those parts
108/3=36
And your done!</p>
<p>it wasn't 72 degrees</p>
<p>pentagon one was 36. with all those isosceles triangles, you know that 72 + x = one corner of a pentagon. since a pentagon contains 540 degrees, divide that by 5 and you get 108 for each corner. 108 -72 = 36</p>
<p>oops ignore what i said before i editted this</p>
<p>How do you know it's a trisection like that? Urg I hate stupid mistakes like that where I think it's the wrong angle!</p>
<p>How do you know it's a trisection like that? Urg I hate stupid mistakes like that where I think it's the wrong angle! Maybe they printed mine wrong? I swear to god the angle a lot of people said it was was named liek EDA or something, but mine said DEA. Haha fat chance of that happening, but man that makes me angry.</p>
<p>for the triangle with angles a>b>c, did u put I and III are right? </p>
<p>if thats right, i got 80 on the math wooo</p>
<p>Many people are worried about the PSAT because:
1- It goes on your transcipt (hmm.. do you really think college adcoms just dismiss this number? maybe , maybe not .. so why dont u just do your best)
2-Some scholorships from organizations or some schools (prob. not extremely selective ones though)
3-An achievement that is seen as pretty good by college adcoms (Commended and Finalist)
4- Some selective colleges start to seek Junior applicants who scored extremely well on the PSAT ..... the more you get your name out there, the better ...</p>
<p>So, in some ways the PSAT is kind of important ...</p>
<p>what was the problem ilovemath??</p>
