Wednesday 2012 PSAT General Discussion

<p>lol the saturday thread completely died off…</p>

<p>I guessed on that one, I don’t know why I didn’t understand it while I was taking the test and now I do. Does anyone remember the possible answers for the K question?</p>

<p>The K question was a grid-in for me.</p>

<p>Can someone predict my score</p>

<p>CR = -6 no omits (not my best)
M = -0
W = -3</p>

<p>@ Renato

219 total</p>

<p>please someone tell me the water depth math problem where they started out with a certain depth (a number with a 4 in it) and then asked you to determine the ration of this depth to the depth some number of years later. Answer is 5/6? I forgot the problem and don’t know what I put. PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME!!! THANKS :D</p>

<p>predict my score:</p>

<p>M: -1
W: -2
CR: -2, OMIT 2</p>

<p>Predict my score?</p>

<p>CR: -5 to -3
M: -1 to -0
W: -2 (I’m pretty sure about those).</p>

<p>Thank you!</p>

<p>@kimmielouie:</p>

<p>M: 76-79
W: 71-75
CR: 72-74</p>

<p>Total: 219-228</p>

<p>@my88keys:</p>

<p>(if these are raw)</p>

<p>CR: 69-72
M: 80
W: 71-75</p>

<p>Total: 220-227</p>

<p>Just wondering. How are you getting these scores? Are you using a previous scale?</p>

<p>Yea, how are you getting those curves? Are they curved appropriately since this PSAT was easier?</p>

<p>But thank you regardless! I hope it’s the 228. :D</p>

<p>Haha. Moi aussi kimmylouie. A 227 would be fab!</p>

<p>Are you guys sure the answer to the fuel cell passage was" independence of fuel energy regardless of consequenses." Wasn’t there a better answer (how passage 1 would respond to lines… in passage)? </p>

<p>Also what were some harder energy/fuel cell questions in the long passage section 1.</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>I looked at a few previous PSAT curves and used them to give you my best estimates of your scores.</p>

<p>please someone tell me the water depth math problem where they started out with a certain depth (a number with a 4 in it) and then asked you to determine the ration of this depth to the depth some number of years later. Answer is 5/6? I forgot the problem and don’t know what I put. PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME!!! THANKS</p>

<p>@FireLion it was 400 or 450 I think, not sure which. The answer was 5/6, it was asking for the % change in the depth of the lake from the beginning of 200_ to the end of 200_ (don’t remember which year it was, but it was the last one in the chart).</p>

<p>@Smarty the bar graph question was really simple haha, it just showed a bar graph with the number of children who received 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 on a quiz or something, and it asked for the number of children who received >7 or something like that, you just had to add them up and the answer was 6, which was the largest of the answers.</p>

<p>@Smarty/heps1996 - Wait, the parabola one was ridiculously simple wasn’t it? Or are we thinking of a different question haha? I remember a question with a parabola and it said the vertex was (-1, -1) and there was another point on the parabola (-3, 3) (not sure if these are the exact numbers, but yeah). It was asking for another possible point on the parabola, that would just be (1,3) since a parabola is symmetric, -3 is 2 units from -1, and 1 is 2 units from -1. (-3,3) & (1,3) would be like symmetric points from the vertex.</p>

<p>I thought it asked for the water depth from the end of 200_ to the beg/end (i forgot) of 200_</p>

<p>yeah it asked for the water depth from the end of 200_ to the end of 200_</p>

<p>I think I put the water one in decimal form. .833. Should that be fine?</p>

<p>can someone refresh me on the bar graph one w/ answer 5 and the parallel lines one with answer 130? thanks</p>
