So, how'd you do on the PSAT?

Test Preparation SAT Preparation
21

<p>IBtired, how long is that period of time?</p>

22

<p>Math: 0
Writing: I understood them all but I tend to make careless mistakes so… 0-3
Critical reading: 4-7 hopefully? I’ve never been good at CR but thankfully I just looked up the words from vocabulary and I got lucky and got all the vocab right.</p>

<p>Hoping for 225 could’ve been a lot lower if there’s a math mistake I’m not forseeing and if I got on the bad side of my writing estimate.</p>

23

<p>My prediction is -0 on math, -2 on writing, -5 on CR LOL.
Brain dead atm. x-o</p>

24

<p>CR: -10 ( I know I got 7 wrong already)
W: -4 ( I know I got 3 wrong already)
M: -3 (I know I got 2 wrong already)</p>

25

<p>^ I have similar results. </p>

<p>What would that equate to out of 240 points? I’m guessing 185-190?</p>

26

<p>Cr: -2
w: 0
m: 0</p>

27

<p>Omg I was so nervous today. I hope I did good.
But, unfortunately, I probably got:
CR: 6 wrong (I wish I was lying)
M: 3 wrong (I always end up making mistakes on medium-level questions, but I triple-checked all of them this time)
W: 3 wrong (Surprisingly, even though this is usually my strongest part, there were a few questions I struggled with and kept on changing my answers)</p>

<p>Using this scale,
@Movingtotexas/jpvn2015 You probably got around a 199. The rounds are different every year though so…</p>

29

<p>M: 0 (Unless I miss something careless like last year)
R: 0 or 1 (I feel really confident about the reading this time around)
W: between 0 and 3 (depending on how many dumb mistakes I made; I didn’t have the opportunity to double check the section because I blew all of my extra time checking over a single problem I was thinking way too deeply about.)</p>

30

<p>The writing curve on that one is extremely harsh.</p>

31

<p>I think the writing curves are always really harsh though. Aren’t they? o3o</p>

32

<p>Do you guys think that its possible to get a 190+ if I skipped about 15 questions?</p>

33

<p>80, 76, 71?</p>

<p>No way. I’m used to like 80, 76, 74, 71 (ETC)</p>

34

<p>Writing curves rnt always THT harsh…</p>

35

<p>I remember taking a practice exam (2003, I think?) at school, where you could miss 2 writing questions and get an 80. At least I thought that’s what our teacher told us. Now with all the discussion of harsh writing curves, I’m not so sure.</p>

36

<p>Do you guys think that its possible to get a 190+ if I skipped about 15 questions?
^Definitely. I think I got at least 20 questions wrong last year and I got a 189 so if you omitted 15 questions and got the rest right then you should be fine.</p>

37

<p>guys predict my score:</p>

<p>M: -1
CR; -2, omit 2
W: -4</p>

<p>please be above 215 !!</p>

38

<p>Cr. -1
M -0 (Omitted a grid)
W -1</p>

<p>I had to pee during the last two sections. :(</p>

39

<p>@overachiever1: I missed 15 last year as a sophomore (only 5 of which were omits) and I still got a 204.</p>

<p>@kimmylouie: When you say omit 2 does that include the -2 (for a total of -4?). If so:
75-76M, 71-75RC, 67-70W.</p>

40

<p>What would you predict this score to be?</p>

<p>-1 CR
-0 math
-1 writing</p>
