PSAT '09 Form W Thread

<p>anyone remember the last writign question from the corrections.
Was came wrong.</p>

<p>^^^ Lol, be grateful you missed just one…I started making random guesses, which I KNOW are wrong.</p>

<p>I didn’t even have my calculator on me …</p>

<p>I’m okay at critical reading (67-70); but the vocabulary was brutal, while the passage based questions seemed pretty easy… anybody else agree?</p>

<p>i missed two in math fersure…anyone know what that would be outta 80?</p>

<p>predictions:
CR: 72 (i hope? it was HARD~)
Math: 72 ? (hopefully…according to the booklet thingy)
Writing: 76</p>

<p>well i hope because that usually qualifies for natl merit where i live :)</p>

<p>Where are you guys getting the rubrics for your projected grades?</p>

<p>For me, it was vice versa - I knew most of the vocabulary but the some of the passage-based questions in the beginning threw me off.</p>

<p>I hope I do better than last year…</p>

<p>what did you guys say for the sentence correction one in the writing section… it was on the last page of the improving sentences i think, about the recycling?</p>

<p>did you get alot of Cs in the ened of the sentence correction></p>

<p>Are categorized score indexes for Nat’l Merit Scholars archived? I have no idea what a good score for a Marylander would be. Fingers crossed :)</p>

<p>I took it today, first time I ever took the PSAT. I’m usually very good in LA and weak in Math. Well, the first LA part I kind of freaked out and checked the time every min! The vocab was a lot harder and didn’t even know what the words meant. The math multiple choice was easier, don’t know why. I think I got some fill in the blank, but some wrong for sure. The writing I did good in the beg and then ran out of time, took too much time on this one for sure. I didn’t even get to read the last passage and just guessed on the last two questions, should have left it blank. I answered every single question, I personally just hate leaving any question blank. I know most kids didn’t even try lol! I don’t know how anyone rem’s the questions, because I don’t. When it was over, I tried not to think about it. They didn’t say you couldn’t talk about the questions, but I won’t to stay safe</p>

<p>Btw, I was really mad at the people giving me the test. They didn’t tell us how much time we had left for the first test. And they used their own clock, not the clock on the wall for timing. They also gave us less time on the math portion, they put the starting time up before we started the section.</p>

<p>MATH QUESTION:
I feel dumb asking about this one, but I didn’t see what I thought was the right answer on the test. It was the t-shirt question: there was a 150 charge (one-time) and then 10 for each T-shirt you order. Then you had to find the “function” that shows this – wouldn’t it be 150+10x, where x = # of tshirts? Was that an option?</p>

<p>Oh does anyone know when the results come in? Thankss!</p>

<p>You had to find the function of the price for each t-shirt. So it was:
(150 + 10 x) / x</p>

<p>Now it looks like I got 3 math wrong just because I made 2 stupid mistakes. The spinner one I’m pretty sure I got 1/4 or something like that because I like mulitplied the fractions together or something. Ugh. I probably ended up scoring like 199 or something else scarcely better than last year. However, I’m feeling like I did better on CR than I thought.</p>

<p>MNIJ, I was stuck on that problem too for a bit the answer was 10x + 150 all over x, the result would give you the cost of each tshirt with the 150 dollars calculated in</p>

<p>you are a noob. you forgot the 70’s. you got the question rong. feel free to go and cut yourself. i will dance in the blood. that is all.</p>

<p>mrbh12, thanks for the link.</p>

<p>Earlycollege, December.</p>

<p>1/4 for the spinner one is correct</p>

<p>Whoa Mondoman.</p>

<p>BTW, does collegeboard throw out PSAT questions in the same manner as AP questions?</p>
