<p>hey!!!! =)</p>

22

<p>Days till I receive PSAT score : 40
Hours: 960
Minutes!!! :57,600
Seconds :sigh: : 3,456,000......</p>

<p>borderline as well! hope the curve is lenient...
at least i got commened =/ .. i think... oh god!</p>

23

<p>I hope writing is 80 80 80 again, I think math will be 80 77 74, there were a couple questions that I found harder than usual. English I'm not too sure but my fingers are crossed for an 80 80 79, although I guess I'll be fine if it's the same as last year's.</p>

<p>Vinny, what's the qualifying score in your state?</p>

24

<p>I got three wrong on writing last year and scored a 76. Why would the curve be 80 80 80 76?</p>

<p>I'm confident that I only got one math problem wrong, so I'll probably get a 77.</p>

<p>I'm expecting an 80 in writing.</p>

<p>...Which means I need a 65 on CR. Ugh, I bet I got a 64. I got a 60 last year.</p>

25

<p>Three wrong is a -4 which was a 77, I got the same as you last year. The curve was 80 80 80 79 77.</p>

26

<p>Haha mibad.</p>

<p>Ah, *** is up with different curves for everyone. Last year I got one math wrong and ended up with a 76. A friend of mine - who goes to my school; we got the same exact tests - got a different question wrong and got a 77.</p>

27

<p>Writing last year was:
80 (0 off)
80 (1 off, = 1 wrong)
80 (2 off, = 2 wrong)
78 (3 off, = 2 wrong, 1 omit)
76 (4 off, = 3 wrong)</p>

28

<p>218 last yr .. prob 219 this yr ...=/ .. sigh</p>

29

<p>I'm pretty sure the curves are the same for everyone.</p>

30

<p>are you sure they didn't take the saturday test, theoneo?</p>

31

<p>I honestly think math will go 80 77 75....</p>

<p>I think the PSAT practice has curves that should be about the same as the real thing.</p>

32

<p>Last year for Wednesday it was 77 for -4 writing and 76 for -1 math.</p>

<p>I agree with sr6622 on the math curve, won't be as bad as last year's.</p>

33

<p>''what do you think of 80 78 75 73 70 or so for wednesday math? and will it still be 80 80 80 79 for writing?''</p>

<p>whoever wrote this should get slapped. 80 78 75 73 70 for math is wayy too lenient. -2 on the SAT was 760 and the curve for PSAT is way harsher. More like 80 76 74 70 68 66.</p>

34

<p>80 78 for math is almost impossible but 80 77 is likely imo.</p>

Both of us took the test on Saturday. I didn't think there were different versions for the same day and same school, though. Whatever. As long as it doesn't happen this year (when it counts). ;)</p>

36

<p>what do you think the math score would be if i got 1 wrong and had 2 omits....</p>

37

<p>My Guess....MATH
80-77-74-70-68</p>

<p>WRITING
80-80-80-78-75</p>

<p>CR
80-80-79-77-74</p>

38

<p>I my two experiences with the PSAT, look at the curve in the practice booklet. The curve on the actual test follows the general rule that </p>

<p>on the CR and Wr: for example, it if the raw score is a 36 on the WR in the book, look at the scaled score for a 35.</p>

<p>On the math: for example, if the scaled score says 77, then make it a 76. </p>

<p>However, I must warn you that this is from my personal experience, and there may be a few discrepencies. It's not perfect, but it should give you a start.</p>

39

<p>I like s snack's curve but I doubt CR will be that good, probably 80 80 78 76 74.</p>
