Whacked Out PSAT Questions

Test Preparation
1

<p>On the PSAT Wednesday administration, I got 2 math problems that bugged me. I have a 780M SAT I but these 2 questions annoyed me:</p>

<li><p>The question that asked for the possible combinations of the kids’ lunches. I put 6 but I’ve heard that other people put 2.</p></li>
<li><p>The grid-in that had the 4x4 square and asked for the greatest possible number of blue squares under certain conditions. I put 2.</p></li>
</ol>

<p>Any confirmation (or ummmm…telling me that I really screwed up this time) would be appreciated!</p>

<p>What is a -1 raw on PSAT Math? 78? 80 if nice curve? Man what is up with me being 1 raw point away from 800???????? lol 780 on October Math and this time i think i missed 1 raw for PSAT and thats prolly a 78 too. shucks! i hope its 80!!!!!!!!</p>

3

<p>The was 2 lunches and it was 2 of the green squares. 1 wrong will probably be 78 not 77 since this test was harder than the bulletin's math</p>

4

<p>Yeah it WAS much harder than in the bulletin. I got an 80 in the bulletin one, but those dang lunches got me this time. lol, yeah hope for 78</p>

5

<p>damn...i put 6 also...</p>

6

<p>does anybody remember the wording of that question?</p>

7

<p>I can barely remember any Q's from the psat. I think I did horrible on math. Math was much harder than bulletin.</p>

8

<p>i got the lunch one wrong (yeah i was so stupid and put 12 or something, realized i kept using the same lunch twice after the test) and then one wrong on the grid ins. what does that bring my score down to? </p>

<p>hope i didn't make any more mistakes..</p>

<p>Did you guys get your psats back already?? i thought they came in in december!</p>

<p>I don't get mine until January because of complications with the holiday break- they arrive when we're not there, so I have to wait like 2 weeks! :(</p>

<p>i think the question was worded like this:
The three Adams children each have a different lunch box. if they are to switch lunch boxes, with none of them getting their original lunch box, what is the highest number of combinations possible?</p>

<p>i got 2, by the way.</p>
