OFFICIAL Saturday, October 15 PSAT Thread

<p>I like how they included WEB Dubois AND Zora Neale Hurston in the CR sections.</p>

<p>OMG I think I put that! I had no clue what I was talking about though. =D</p>

<p>The question like "which of the following would most likely be tossed into the 'discard pile'. I said the psychologist's belief that memories are not compeletey accurate. The dog/grandparents/relatives answers were all too similar.</p>

<p>yankees, </p>

<p>identify the error question about role models. i think i said that "in addition" was the error. i thought it should be replaced by "however"
-> me too.</p>

<p>identify the error question about classical music. I chose choice D, which said "any century." I thought it should have said "any previous century" or "any other century." -> me too</p>

<p>i dont remember any of the others- sorry.</p>

<p>theoneo.</p>

<p>i think heal/conciliatory, and preemptive/abrasive were two different questions</p>

<p>hey what was the answer to the polygon question i got 6 sides, a square</p>

<p>what you guys think the cutoff for Commended / and Semi-Finalists will </p>

<p>be based upon this year's difficulty?</p>

<p>i think 200 for commended, and 216 for semi-finalist (NY)</p>

<p>kevin --- thats what i did too.</p>

<p>kevin/ doesn't matter</p>

<p>Haha I meant (something?)/solicitous and peremptive/abrasive.</p>

<p>kevin- it doesnt matter where you gridded it.</p>

<p>phd- it was 4 (triangles)</p>

<p>so how do you guys think you did? prediction of scores????</p>

<p>Yeah, I think the correct answer was preemptive/abrasive</p>

<p>If I got 80M/80W, then all I need is a 62 on CR to be a semifinalist!</p>

<p>foolonthehill - I thought the word was peremptive, not preemptive. But does either one make sense?</p>

<p>For that one I think I put the one with bombastic in the choice...yeah...definitely got that wrong...</p>

<p>It's preemptive, not per.</p>

<p>meh. I missed at least 1 on Math (the ABCD graphing grid in) and CR & W was just bad.. I predict below 200......</p>

<p>wow. i feel stupid. i predict..... 590 V. yes i'm serious i thought it was really hard. maybe low/mid 600s for W and M. the highest i got on practice tests were 730 W last night, 660V, and 610 M so i'm looking forward to a low score. lol. </p>

<p>i think i put bombastic too. lol.</p>

<p>What is the curve on the writing section? I heard last year, you could get one wrong and still have an 80. But this is unconfirmed.</p>

<p>And to theoneo: lol, I may be wrong. Some really smart girl told me after the test that it was correct, though.</p>

<p>I also put bombastic o_o</p>

<p>i got one writing wrong last year and got an 80.
now it is confirmed.</p>

<p>Hey can we talk about the roman numeral passage? I had only 4 minutes to read the passage and answer questions. EEEKKK!!! What did you put that was the "main topic" of the Roman numeral one?</p>

<p>lol is ANYONE sure of the answer? :P</p>
