PSAT results are in

<p>i can understand the otehr scores, but a -5 giving you a 69....that's crazy considering last year's very generous curve</p>

<p>I got mine back today. I took the Wed one and I'm decently happy. But the curve was horrible. I got 232 with 78 is CR (one wrong), 76 in math (one wrong) and 78 is writing (one wrong). What kind of curve is that? last year 2 wrong in writing was 80. So the curve this year is BRUTAL.</p>

<p>math shocked me sr.....i only got 3 wrong (but for 1 you minus nothing cause of grid-in ...)... really was expecting 740 or even a little higher..... oh welll... CR was fair!</p>

<p>sorry guys but i need to boost my self esteem.... do you think a 204 will be below the cutoff this year for commended... i know that last yr was 203... do you think they will make this year a 205!!.. oh god - if i miss commended by 10 points.........</p>

<p>arrgh the writing curve must be like 80 78 76 74 72 70 69...thanks a hell of a lot for getting my hopes up, Sophie.
My chances of semi are now in the toilet.<br>
New Prediction:
76 CR (46)
68 M (33)
67 W (32)
211 :( </p>

<p>P.S.- the commended cutoff last yr was 202</p>

<p>oh really?!! you are the best digamma.... i would of liked NMSF, but NMC is fine for me!....barely made it though - one more question wrong on this ridiculous test, and i would of prob got in the 1900's (stupid stupid stupid curve)...
I guess collegeboard wasnt in the Christmas spirit this yr =/</p>

<p>what's -2 in CR</p>

<p>The writing curve now resembles the SAT writing MC.</p>

<p>guys, do you know how the percentage works.... i mean with a 2040...i dont think i beat 97% of juniors....idk seems very high for tht score...maybe CC has just taken me over... just seems weird</p>

<p>most likely 77 or 76..... one wrong is 78 (ouch ouch ouch) ...</p>

<p>DOn't worry dude...204 is about 97% and i think you should get commended...</p>

<p>ok...for all of you that did NOT get scores, revise your predictions.</p>

<p>are predictions were soo lenient... i put myself at a 220...lol .....
for sophs taking it again next yr: make the "fake" curve hard so you expect less...!!!!!!!!</p>

<p>Soph score:167
Jun score: 204</p>

<p>Not bad?</p>

<p>but anyway, we have to remember: these curves, though brutal as they seem, "reflect ideal fairness".
So in reality we should have no basis for complaining....but hey it does help us vent, does it not?</p>

<p>i can not believe the math curve for wednesday... i am doomed</p>

<p>no scores yet... I have to wait until tomorrow during homeroom =(</p>

<p>Your scores are great Vinny. That is a huge jump in just one year! I'm hoping I have a big jump too, did you prep a lot for the PSAT?</p>

<p>Who cares? It's only a practice?</p>

<p>Well...you can be a national merit semifinalist...so it is important in that sense...but generally, no it is not.</p>

<p>Hooray, I just found out I got a 220, I live in New York and took the Saturday test. Ahah, I guess I'm a semifinalist now.</p>

<p>hey...what were your raw scores Charchazwick?</p>

<p>Don't know yet. My guidance counselor only gave me the score, I get the score report in the mail tomorrow.</p>
