<p>thanks
weird… i thought it was closer to 220
dont mind though, better chance to be SF</p>
<p>@Opaline Dude. I’m so scared because I’m from Texas, and last year, the score jumped up by 4 points. It was insane. I’m so scared that it’ll just up even further.</p>
<p>I’m at 2 math questions definitely wrong (parallelogram/car), 2 more possibly wrong (don’t remember what I put for them y intersection/x<y<0), maybe the thief one wrong, and two CR wrong (one vocab/probably 2nd paragraph wrong).</p>
<p>That’s anywhere from a 224-236…</p>
<p>f1yin9hi9h, it jumped FOUR points?</p>
<p>Wow, apparently you Texans are getting better at test-taking. Good luck, man. </p>
<p>Good luck to all of us, in fact. We all need it.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>The College Board won’t use the exact same question twice. </p>
<p>I did, however, note that one math problem from the PSAT today was taken almost directly from the Blue Book. Another one was taken almost directly from an old SAT.</p>
<p>Aj39vn23cf2, I think I’m in the same boat. 2 or 3 wrong for math, maybe 1 or 2 off on writing, and maybe 3 off on CR. Do you think we still have a chance?</p>
<p>

<p>Yeah, TX jumped up 4 points last year so I have no idea what to expect.</p>
<p>It’s looking like I’m at -2M, -4CR, -2W. Could go either way I guess.</p>
<p>^Hopefully!</p>
<p>@Opaline Yeah, man. It was like holy eff. No one saw that coming. But yeah. Best of luck to everyone (: If you haven’t taken it, don’t freak out over everything we’re saying (; And if you have and you’re worried sick, stop! Just breathe. It’s done and over with. There’s nothing you can do to change it. (:</p>
<p>@Iceqube Yeaa most tests are super similar cause they’re testing over the same strategies so it’s kind of predictable, but kind of not.</p>
<p>Gahh so mad right now that my parents didn’t jump next door into West VA. They have the lowest NMSF requirement…204!! Are you serious!!!</p>
<p>223 for the top education states last year- that’s insane!</p>
<p>and 204 is like a joke… (compared to other states)</p>
<p>Which of these are still under debate?</p>
