<p>Is there any difference between a 240 and, say, a 225 on the PSAT? I mean, as long as your score qualifies for semifinalists, that’s all that matters, right?</p>
<p>Or do the NMSQ people actually differentiate potential scholarship recipients based on their scores?</p>
<p>Once you’re in semifinalist, it doesn’t matter what your score really was.</p>
<p>What were the choices and the question for the first problem on the gardening passage?</p>
<p>i know this question is really dumb but what exactly is the process for NMSC?</p>
<p>First you get a certain score or higher… then? are there different degrees of honor?</p>
<p>anybody know the exact question for the incompatible with romanticized views thing?</p>
<p>@christine - search the thread on the top right corner of this forum</p>
<p>anybody know the cutoff score for california last year?
i’m stressing because i made so many mistakes and overthought so much on CR
(i was going to put ‘wry disapproval’, but then i thought ‘well it isn’t wry…’ so i changed it)</p>
<p>What do you think my score will be? CR: -3 Writing: -2 Math: -0. I live in NJ.</p>
<p>Danielle2013: CR 74-76. Writing: 75-77. Math: 80</p>
<p>@dannielle2013, you are above 225, so no worries at NJ.</p>
<p>By the way, does ANYONE remember the actual question about human differences and the other choices in the Walden question.</p>
<p>@China: Did you try searching the thread? I think most of the questions especially regarding that passage have been discussed.</p>
<p>Yes, angelspeed. I have looked though all pages. Do u know the exact ques. with other choices. Everyone is just saying “human interference”</p>
<p>Hmm, I’m not sure, but maybe it had to do with this line:</p>
<p>“Yet traditionally, when we have wanted to think about our relationship to nature, we have gone to the wilderness, to places untouched by man.” </p>
<p>Perhaps something about why people generally go to nature or something like that. “Free from human interference” would make sense in that context. </p>
<p>Maybe someone else recalls the exact question?</p>
<p>whoa you really think it’s that high? @kayshoe</p>
<p>^I doubt the NJ cutoff would jump four points in one year. Last year’s cutoff was 221, as I recall - same as California’s. (Please correct me if I’m mistaken!)</p>
<p>Typically cutoffs have only increased by 1-2 points at most. But 225 is a safe cutoff to assume since that would probably give you a slight buffer in terms of the real cutoff.</p>
<p>LOL. I thought it was 223 (not to depress you or anything) but NJ is HARD</p>
<p>Oh I know that 225 isn’t the cutoff. I was referring to kayshoe’s post about my predicted scores. haha last year’s was 223 not 221 in NJ.</p>
<p>I was wondering if anyone could predict my scores?</p>
<p>Cr -0
M -2 (■■■)
W -2</p>
<p>I live in cali D:</p>
<p>Predict?
