<p>you get like a 76. how depressing.</p>
<p>very....missed 2 and got 73 last year. </p>
<p>oh well. got 800 on sat though</p>
<p>i bet its even worse for the writing section...is there any kind of curve??</p>
<p>Actually, I think math is the steepest curve, cause many kids can get them all right.</p>
<p>Well, I omitted 2 and missed probably 2, so I guess I'm screwed out of NMS.</p>
<p>I'm hoping I will get in (I'm guessing I need about a 215 or so...)</p>
<p>I got an 80 on math 99% sure.
For Critical Reading, I think I got a 65-70.
For Writing, I think I got a 70-75.</p>
<p>^ same as above poster.</p>
<p>i only got 3 questions wrong last year on the whole test and i got a 227.. that means each one's worth over 4 points. ridiculouss</p>
<p>^ wow. that's crazyyy.</p>
<p>****! im screwed!!!!</p>
<p>I'm pretty positive i didnt miss a single one in the math section, i finished early and checked all my answers... maths my deal.. but I didnt get to do 4 of the writing section, how badly will this affect me?</p>
<p>I THINK I got all math, one wrong writing, one wrong CR.</p>
<p>So I should be NMS-qualified.</p>
<p>Some of the math wording was very tricky, though. And it's just from math in , like, 6th and 7th grade, so I don't know if I remembered as well as I should have...</p>
<p>I'm sort of in the same boat as swarzagor... I think math went great (knock on wood), but in my case the scariest was the critical reading. Still thinking (/hoping) I qualified for NMS, though.</p>
<p>In my test prep class, we took a practice PSAT and had to calculate our own scores, and I noticed that writing has the biggest curve - one question wrong is still an 80. At least that's what it was in 2005, I believe, and my teacher thought that the scoring hadn't changed since then.</p>
<p>Why does writing have the biggest curve? That's like the easiest section. It's all basic English grammar.</p>
<p>I always seem to miss one or two on the math due to careless mistakes...</p>
<p>I checked over my work 2 times for each question (since it takes me like 12 minutes to do the thing carelessly).</p>
<p>I'm pretty sure I got all of them write.</p>
<p>As for writing, it seems that a lot of people mess up at the improving paragraphs at the end if they got everything else right.</p>
<p>Liist, you might of missed the one that differentiated between write and right :P
And now I probably confused two words here and look like an idiot... oh well, I couldn't resist</p>
<p>critical reading has the biggest curve</p>
<p>last year i missed one math and got a 76
one writing and got a 77</p>
<p>totaled 222, one point shy of the MA cutoff</p>
<p>yeah I hate how high the MA cut off is compared to every other state</p>
<p>On the 2006 test, 2/39 wrong in Writing = 74, while 2/48 wrong in Critical Reading = 80.</p>
<p>Nice catch, hockey.</p>
<p>I was thinking of the writing section at the time and I was really tired when I was writing. (Almost typed "righting")</p>
