PSAT Curve

<p>I have yet to receive scores but I was curious as to the nature of the curve on this years PSAT test (i.e how many points off for 1,2,3 wrong in math, CR, and writing)</p>

<p>2 off in CR = 77
1 off in math = 78
1 off in writing = 79</p>

<p>IIRC</p>

<p>Hmm MJ, which form is that for?</p>

<p>1 off in writting 79???
we’ve been hearing -2 is a 70…</p>

<p>Until people actually start getting their PSAT scores back, the best guess is to go by past curves.</p>

<p>Here are the PSAT data at the top end, which is where the curve varies most dramatically, from 2005-2008. First number is the raw score, followed by the average PSAT score and the historical range of PSAT scores over the last 4 years.</p>
