PSAT 2011 Saturday General Discussion

<p>The remaining people would be 49 adults and 1 child. (so the child is 2% of the 50). Since there were 99 adults to being with, 50 would have to leave.</p>

<p>I felt so confident this morning when I was taking the test but now I’m sitting here worrying myself over what scores I got, because maybe I was too confident. I’ve never used a forum before but someone please give me some advice</p>

<p>yay I got it right that puts me a bit at ease</p>

<p>MissFrazzled - look at post 569 in this thread - that will either put you at
ease, or make you more frazzled! Its over with, so try not to think about
it for a few months.</p>

<p>:( I think I’m just gonna not think about it cause I think I set too lofty of goals for myself.</p>

<p>on the semicircle question was I seriously overthinking it that much? That was the only one I thought was hard was I seriously being that much of an idiot?</p>

<p>The error on the horse one was an ambiguous pronoun, something like “achieve it” that should have referred to speed, but speed was never stated. </p>

<p>The only ones we haven’t been able to come to full consensus on are “flipping the switch” and “wry disapproval”.</p>

<p>For Math about I, II one, isn’t it II only ? Because I remember something about x<2 on the given information.</p>

<p>CAN WE GO OVER THE CR? This is from post #498</p>
