<p>DAMN</p>
<p>CCers are so damn smart</p>
<p>its funny</p>
<p>"Lissa and DiGamma,
What rank are you guys in your class out of how many students?"</p>
<p>Sorry Patrick, but I'm really not sure. I'm homeschooled, so I don't even know if I have a class rank!</p>
<p>anybody from minnesota get their scores yet</p>
<p>Lissa,
Oh, okay. What are CCers?
Pat</p>
<p>bold statement, coming from someone who has posted a grand 7 times.</p>
<p>lol not that I really care, but drummerboy24 you have posted 6 times. Your comment seemed really ironic coming from you (although I agree that heretodemonstrate's post was uncalled for). </p>
<p>Anyways...OT: I hope I will recieve my scores this week! Argh I'm so anxious I just want to get them NOW!!!!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>Oh: and just to answer some questions: Lisa homeschoolers don't have class ranks (their transcripts are treated differently) and CCers are those who roam the realms of College Confidential (this site in case you haven't noticed :p)</p>
<p>Hmmm... not sure what you take offensive by putting my name at the end. It is actually just a habit.</p>
<p>Guys your fighting over nothing plus this is a PSAT thread...
Does anyone have any idea what the curve is for CR,M,W? Although I see that 1 wrong in math is a 76 and 1 wrong in CR is a 78, can we determine any curve further than this...</p>
<p>JT007, i realize that I posted 7 times. But, I'm not going around telling people off for being new members. Plus, that guy has been ****ing me off all day. Just look at all his posts.</p>
<p>Haha...this is just like highschool.
Only the cool kids that have been around long enough get the privledge of signing their names. Which is odd, considering that this is a "dorky" site. Haha. Oh well. Boys will be boys. </p>
<p>blythe :D</p>
<p>Mine...</p>
<p>72 CR (62 CR)
76 M (80 M)
60 W (53 W)
208 (195)</p>
<p>The parenthetical scores are what I got sophomore year.</p>
<p>I don't understand why the writing questions I missed were wrong...that's the scariest part. I missed 10 on writing, haha...</p>
<p>So that's definitely National Merit Commended and POSSIBLY semifinalist? I'd get the one for National Achievement Semifinalist right?</p>
<p>Drummerboy,
Just out of curiousity, what did I do wrong?</p>
<p>Let's see...one of the writing questions I missed:</p>
<p>Widowed in 1859, novelist Margaret Oliphant succeeded to provide for her own and her brother's children with the profits from her books, which numbered well over 100 volumes.</p>
<p>HOW THE **** IS THAT INCORRECT?</p>
<p>i think the:
"succeeded to provide for her.." part. Just a guess.</p>
<p>shouldn't it be "in providing"?
is that one of the options? I haven't gotten the test sheet or my scores yet</p>
<p>So has my writing score screwed up my chances of getting National Merit?</p>
<p>first of all, for NMF, it depends on where you live. a 200 in wyoming will get you NMF so...</p>
<p>and all the answers for the psat are on the collegeboard website now. they just don't have the curves. <a href="http://www.collegeboard.com/student/testing/psat/psatextra.html%5B/url%5D">http://www.collegeboard.com/student/testing/psat/psatextra.html</a>
go there and sign in and it should be there.</p>

<p>Corrected sentence: Widowed in 1859, novelist Margaret Oliphant succeeded in providing for her own and her brother's children with the profits from her books, which numbered well over 100 volumes.</p>
<p>The error in this sentence occurs at (A), where an improper idiom is used. In the sense in which it is used in the sentence, the verb "succeeded" requires as its complement the preposition "in" followed by a gerund ("in providing") rather than an infinitive ("to provide").</p>
<p>There is no error at (B). The adjective "own" is correctly placed after the possessive pronoun "her" to form the first of two coordinated modifiers of the noun "children."</p>
<p>There is no error at (C). The preposition "from" is idiomatically used to begin a phrase modifying the noun "profits."</p>
<p>There is no error at (D). The adverb "well" idiomatically modifies a prepositional phrase introduced by "over."</p>
<p>Yep. I had a hard time on that one as well. I think my main problem was not reading carefully, and I definitely learned.</p>
<p>See, I don't even know what gerunds are.</p>
<p>its basically just has to sound right. i dont know what gerunds are either.</p>
