<p>Yes, but you either skip something or you don’t. How do you hope for something to be omitted :p?</p>
<p>it means ETS removes the question from the test so instead of being out of 39 questions it’s only 38. I hope becuase i said “that” was the error…</p>
<p>Omitting = CB throwing out the question and not counting it because it was a horribly designed question or they realized that 2 answer choices really could’ve bother been considered “best” and it was a fluke on their part.</p>
<p>As do I. I chose ‘that’, but I also see the arguments for the other two options.</p>
<p>Maybe a ton of people getting it wrong could affect the curve as well, I think.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>What was the original question?</p>
<p>So far, I’ve missed </p>
<p>1 passage (CR) (-1.25)
1 vocab (blank) (-1) </p>
<p>1 math (blank) (-1)
1 math (wrong) (-1.25)</p>
<p>honestly i do so good in practice…like 800 Math, 800 Writing, 740-770 CR, but that just hasn’t translated into the psat today. -2 for math (really stupid mistakes), -4 for cr, and -1 to -2 for Writing. Goodbye national merit scholarship.</p>
<p>@f1yin, yeah that one bothered everyone at my school too. however, the sentence structure starting with “that” looked familiar to me so I didn’t choose it.</p>
<p>The question was “What was the effect of sentence one?” (Mo: “You need to assign your students more homework.” Duncan: “But I already assign them four hours of homework.”)</p>
<p>The answer choices were:
Mo was an accurate judge of character, Duncan’s students were being rowdy, Duncan couldn’t control the classroom, Mo wanted to limit Duncan’s teaching ability and one other one.</p>
<p>Mo wanted to limit Duncan’s teaching ability was the only one that made sense.</p>
<p>Although I may be remembering something incorrectly.</p>

</p>
<p>Actually, that answer choice was that Mo was a shrewd judge of character. That’s what I put. Shrewd can mean “piercingly cold,” and Mo can definitely be perceived as such.</p>
<p>I put the same as IceQube for the ‘shrewd judge of character’.</p>
<p>Also its kind of annoying how the PSAT can only be taken once and is the sole qualifier for the National Merit Scholarship. A couple accidental/careless mistakes on a bad day can make a large difference in your education.</p>
<p>I think the question where it is retraction vs. concession the answer was hypothetical musing.
Also for the question elitist and shortsighted the answer should be well intentioned but irresponsible? BEcause he states that their intentions are a like touchy feely good type of thing; however, the change has to happen and they are being irresponsible about the issue</p>
<p>“That” on the thieves question was definitely not an error, despite how weird it sounds.</p>
<p>There was a similar question in this year’s practice booklet:</p>
<p>[That] the American Discovery Trail comprises [more than] 200 local, regional, and national trails [came] as a [surprise to] the visitors from the city.</p>
<p>It was no error; the CB explanation was:</p>
<p>There is no error at (A). The pronoun “That” appropriately introduces a clause, “That the American Discovery Trail comprises more than 200 local, regional, and national trails.” The clause serves as the subject of the sentence.</p>
<p>Does anyone remember the roman numeral question - it was like</p>
<p>x < y < 0</p>
<p>I. ?
II. ?
III. x/y > 0</p>
<p>What was the answer?</p>
<p>@ iceqube i don’t remember the question very clearly, but i think i chose I & II</p>
<p>^III is def. true … lol</p>
<p>Mo wasn’t piercingly cold, though. He was jealous of Duncan. He was arrogant, pompous, jealous, immature, and lazy. What was the evidence for the “shrewd” choice?</p>
<p>I thought it was x/y < 0 for number three?</p>
<p>If it wasn’t… I read that wrong, and it would be I, II, and III. But if III was x/y < 0, then its I and II.</p>
<p><a href=“x<y<0 and (x/y) < 0[/url] - Wolfram|Alpha”>x<y<0 and (x/y) < 0 - Wolfram|Alpha;
<p>i definitely put 1 2 and 3…</p>
<p>does anyone remember what the question was for the artifice question?</p>
<p>If I got that wrong due to another lapse in reading…</p>
<p>At least I’m learning that I need to take my SAT slightly slower later this year and be sure to read the question + answer twice.</p>
