<p>Well all I was trying to do was be optimistic, Mr. Negative...</p>
<p>zoogies 220 is an accomplishment so get off your high horse and get a life.</p>
<p>It's an accomplishment...but it would be a deprovement from last year, so it's not really an accomplishment at the same time...and it's below semifinalist levels.</p>
<p>Zoogies - What did you get sophomore year? I got a 220 (with a 67 M!), but I thought there was no way to go but up b/c of my math score (I'm in BC Calc this year, I think last test was just an abberation).</p>
<p>To find the sum of the 1-48 inclusive sequence, I remembered a handy formula that was posted on the old CC on one of those SAT math prep threads...</p>
<p>n(a + b)
2</p>
<p>where n = the number of terms in the sequence, a = the first term of the sequence, and b = the last term in the sequence.</p>
<p>what's the cutoff for WA?</p>
<p>I got 223. 77 Math, 80 Writing (<em>cough</em>fluke*cough), 66 Verbal. It would really suck if I made the cutoff sophomore year but not junior year...</p>
<p>Setzwxman, do you know the formulas for just the odd or even? Because that's going to annoy me...</p>
<p>Can you predict my score:</p>
<p>-3 grid ins in math
-4 critical reading
-3 writing</p>
<p>Yeah, my writing last year was really high, too. Last year - 78 W, 75 CR, 67 M.</p>
<p>tcuhna, probably about a 220.</p>
<p>I just realized that, for most people I calculated for (before tcuhna) I accidentally overestimated by 2-3 points. Sorry about that.</p>
<p>anyone want to predict my score?</p>
<p>-3 multiple choice math
-1 grid in
-10 verbal
2 verbal omitted
-3 writing
2 writing omitted</p>
<p>(i'm only a freshman though):D</p>
<p>tx46, you probably got about a 203.</p>
<p>Ehhh, I'm guessing:
-1 m/c in math (horrible curve...this would amount to around 76)</p>
<p>used to get 80 in writing, now get high 60's
around 67-75 in CR</p>
<p>Means I could make the CA cutoff for semi.</p>
<p>I hope someone scans in the test...then the answers I stored in my calculator won't be useless.</p>
<p>Zoogies, I do not know of a formula to determine the sums of a sequence when they use odd or even parameters. Perhaps someone else knows. I, personally, used my calculator (quickly!) to add up all of the numbers for I and II, and then used that formula for III.</p>
<p>"I, personally, used my calculator (quickly!) to add up all of the numbers for I and II, and then used that formula for III."
I don't know if you've already been told this or not (if so I will just sound annoying), but you could've simply added 49 and 50.</p>
<p>is nmsct really that important anyways?</p>
<p>Does anyone have a scanned copy of today's test to share?</p>
<p>i hope so..</p>
<p>Yea...Officially, all people who want to take the PSAT took it already...Okay, well, except for a few who I hear are taking it on the 20th (?).</p>
<p>No guilty conscience!</p>
