<p>Some good news-</p>
<p>Math- 1 wrong=78</p>
<p>@xatuuatx: how do you know??</p>
<p>My friend got her score.</p>
<p>hmmm, wonder what the curve will be..last year as sophomore, son got 4 wrong in math with no lost points and got 69, maybe this year 4 wrong will be 72?</p>
<p>They're back already!?! Are you sure they won't be posting them online sometime soon????</p>
<p>Wait?? What??!! Lol..how did you guys get the scores? I looked online and they weren't there..did you ask your counselor?</p>
<p>i received a 540 in reading and a 570 in math... 1110 total :)</p>
<p>my school doesn't give them to us until like february or march :(</p>
<p>@ Ryusei,</p>
<p>Would you mind sharing the number that you got wrong/omitted to recieve those scores? We are looking to determine the curve.</p>
<p>@ xatuuatx -</p>
<p>Did your friend take the Saturday or Wednesday PSAT test and got -1 for a 78?</p>
<p>And yeah, for people that got their scores, list the curves =p</p>
<p>She took it on Wednesday.</p>
<p>Good point-</p>
<p>To anyone who lists their scores and number wrong- please also state whether you took the test Wednesday or Saturday. It makes a difference.</p>
<p>I don't understand why she received the scores so early, but I for one am going to go pester my guidance counsellor tomorrow. Usually our scores come out mid December, but I am extreeeeemely anxious to know.</p>
<p>@ ryusei: do you mind if i ask where you live?</p>

<p>That's not a PSAT score; that's an SAT score. Something is amiss here.</p>

Yes, my friend (in NJ) got them back and scored a 212.

<p>Clarifying questions here: who in this thread has PERSONALLY seen his or her own scores from the 2008 PSAT/NMSQT test? Which day did you take the test (Wednesday or Saturday)? What form of score report did you see (online or paper)? What did the score report indicate next to the score about whether or not you are eligible for National Merit Scholarship consideration? </p>
<p>Details, details. Some of what is being written above doesn't square with standard operating procedure for the PSAT/NMSQT.</p>
<p>Is -1 really 78 on the math?? </p>
<p>Can someone else clarify this?</p>
<p>Last year I got -1 and a 75 on math ...which is quite a big difference from a 78.</p>

<p>(The article is about the SAT Reasoning Test, but similar principles apply to the PSAT/NMSQT and to the SAT Subject Tests. It's best not to use the term "curve" to describe how the standard score is derived from the raw score on a particular form of the test.)</p>
<p>My daughter is a sophomore; took the Sat. test. She got a 67 writing, 60 in the other verbal part, and only a 49 in the math. The math kind of shocked me, as she is generally really good at math. This is in Connecticut, if it matters. She is looking over her test now, but if I get a chance I will post the #s wrong and omitted later. That's what you all want, right?</p>
<p>BTW, I was a also surprised that her 67 writing was in the 99%. Seems like her score is kind of low for that. Do sophomore scores typically go up a lot as juniors?</p>
<p>Just saw I missed replying to a question. This is a paper score report she got today.</p>
<p>^ I think i got a 53? on the writing part of my soph PSAT. Haha. I ended up getting a 790 on my junior SAT.</p>
<p>For Sat Test -1 on math was 75</p>
