<p>That writing curve worries me =\ I felt pretty confident on all of my answers for that section (especially since writing is usually my best), but I also got 3 hours of sleep that night so I could have completely failed, lol.</p>

27

<p>Thanks for posting the curve silverturtle! Did you get that from collegeboard?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>That is the most ridiculous curve that I’ve seen in my life…which sucks for me since all the questions that I missed were in writing…</p>

<p>AEERGH! me want scores !</p>

<p>When I first checked silverturtle’s post, I thought she had placed incorrect values for the PSAT Form S CR section. For three questions wrong, she wrote down a grade of 75 points.
But when I check the official PSAT scoring document, her number was right.</p>

<p>I got three questions wrong on the CR section. I, however, got a score of 74, and not 75. Is it a mistake or am I missing something here? If it is a mistake, should I call?</p>

31

<p>^ It’s based on raw score, not number wrong. For each question wrong you lose an additional .25 points. So technically, you had a -3.75, which translates to a -4, hence your 74.</p>

32

<p>I haven’t gotten my scores yet, so I’m waiting for the email in addition to the written report that my school should be giving me. How did you all find out?</p>
