Official Wednesday PSAT Discussion

<p>Can you guys post the hardest Math/Verbal/Writing questions? Would be greatly appreciated if I could get a look into what I'm in for Saturday!</p>

<p>For the math Q that was something like (a-8)(b+8)=1, did it want to know what the lowest value of a+b was, or aSQUARED+bsquared?</p>

<p>64 me thinks, = to 0</p>

<p>jrcho88, i think you'll get better than 60 CR. The answer is 64 (D). Let's keep that CR coming.</p>

<p>Lets get some more ?s from the black woman passage:)</p>

<p>Was the wednesday PSAT easier or harder than the practice test in the Student Bulletin?</p>

<p>lets say i miss 8-10 CR, what does that equal, approximately, as a raw score?</p>

<p>it was harder... but i think i made less dumb mistakes, so that's good. the writing, however, seemed a tad easier.</p>

<p>I probably got around 8-10 wrong, arg 66-62 CR. >=(</p>

<p>yes it was harder. missing 8-10 will give you around 67, but because this one is harder, i'll say 68 or 69.</p>

<p>the real thing was much harder than the practice test. i did very well on the practice test.. 234. but i'll be VERY lucky if i got 220+ on this. i already know i missed 1 in CR, 1 in math, and 1 in writing.</p>

<p>Missing 10 on the Bulletin one was a 63, are you sure it will be that generous?</p>

<p>I had trouble with this one</p>

<p>Sec 3.</p>

<ol>
<li>Unfortunately, Stella was typically so ---- that she was often excluded from events where ----- was of paramount importance.</li>
</ol>

<p>A) diligent .. etiquette
B) obstreperous... propriety (didnt know both words, but it's my guess)
C) duplicitous..uindiscretion
D) modest...decorum
E) odious...flagrancy</p>

<p>do you really think the curve will be much different on this test? i know it was harder, but they could have planned that... doees anyone know if the bulletin curve is usually tougher than the real one?</p>

<p>C that's what fits it! Thx jrcho88 for all this help! That way December will be better received!</p>

<p>i meant with the guessing penalty</p>

<p>i also said B for that question</p>

<p>What do you think will be about 15 - 17 missed in CR will scale out to...?</p>

<p>15-17 my opinion is 61-58</p>

<p>what about that black women passage????</p>
