**PSAT Discussion Thread 2015**

@garyasho2 That’s a possibility…because if they already have our scores, then why wait until Thursday to release them?

Disappointed that I missed the glitch.

I talked to my school counselor and she said she got an email regarding online scores available for educators. She is very fond of me and I hope to get my score in a few hours; but college board can pull another stunt :smiley:

OK. DS won’t like it but here it goes,
Reading (-11) LoL 32
Writing (-5) 33
Math (-3) 37.5
NM SI 205 commended may be?
R+W = 650 96%
M = 750 99%
Total 1400 99%

@garyasho2 I really don’t think (and hope) that missing even that few on R+W would bump you out. It’s based on top 1% of your composite score, not just 1 category. So missing 3 in math should mean the same as missing 3 in R+W, right?

@garyasho2 Check out those above scores… that gives me hope. Thank goodness

@JuicyMango Well, they’ve had our basic scores since December. They admitted to that earlier. They only pushed back the deadline this far because they needed to finish expanded scoring. So, I could totally see them having scored everything but waiting until Thursday for the official release because that is what they had already announced thoroughly.

Also, my Math score of -7 was a 36 out of 38 if anyone wanted to know.

Maybe the math section has gotten harder this year.

@tigerrocks13 missing a few in R/W might not bump you but that would much worse than missing a few in math.
Based on the practice test for example,

-3 Math = 37.5
-3 Writing = 36
-3 Reading = 37

clearly missing 3 in math is much better than missing 3 in writing or reading

@mg2isaboss99

It has in terms of concepts, but I didn’t find the math section too difficult.

The only difficulty I had was with the Frederick Douglass passage… I guessed on like 3 questions because I couldn’t break Ebonics in his rhetoric

Writing was a complete joke compared to the current SAT’s writing section.

@pillowspillows Yes, that makes sense. We shall find out in the next 48 hours haha.

@tigerrocks13 Also, if you checked this subforum, someone’s parent was lamenting about her child’s 320 on the PSAT (due to filling in the book instead of scantron, not sure how that happened o.O). So something tells me that these score reports are legitimate.

Dang college board, then why don’t they just release it -_-.

@JuicyMango To help us develop patience xD

Hopefully I’ll see my scores early tomorrow, since I live in Iowa, where 98% of the people don’t care much for their PSAT scores and took it just for the sake of taking it. Since my guidance counselor probably won’t receive many requests for access codes, she’ll probably be nice enough to give me mine tomorrow :slight_smile:

@payn4ward That score could probably be even NMSF depending on where your DS lives. If I score that high in the verbal section, I would be happy.

@FutureMMAChamp

We feed the CEO of College Board $1.3 million a year; I think this generous salary establishes precedent for College Board to accelerate the release of our scores not delay them.

@bsdsj22 I was joking =.=

@FutureMMAChamp

And so am I.

I think the ACT has far more red tape than CB does. At least the scores aren’t getting released in batches!

I posted my junior son’s scores earlier but I also was able to see my freshman daughter’s…96th percentile for RW 80th percentile for Math and 92 composite, no selection index score for her…
saw that somebody mentioned 99th percentile for math having missed 7. My son, also missed 7, also 99th percentile but happened to do very well in the no calculator section. Of the ones he missed they were all labeled “hard” so I am wondering if this makes a difference too? Are you dinged even more for missing what are considered to be easy or medium questions?
Also, I pulled out my older son’s score from two years ago when he was commended. He missed 4 in each section but there were also only 125 total questions. The one given this past October had 140 total questions.
