<p>How hard did you think the PSAT was today? What do you think the curve might be? I know of 3 math questions that I got wrong, I hope I'm not screwed for that. I thought the sections seemed kind of hard besides writing...</p>
<p>I am indifferent. I skipped about fifteen questions, to which I am unsure was a good idea or bad idea, and probably missed some. Overall, I think I did well. The critical reading and writing were so-so to hard for me, but the math was rather easy.</p>
<p>The shaded hyperbolic curve inscribed in the square screwed me up on the math section.
~_~</p>
<p>^ o yea..it was actually easy..but i needed time..so i skipped that one..</p>
<p>The hyperbolic curve was confusing mostly because I did not understand what it meant by its centers being on the points A, O, and B.</p>
<p>I got 18 for that one.</p>
<p>^Same here...I actually thought it was easy. :)</p>
<p>Well it turned out that you could just kind of look at it and divide it into 4 parts and see that it was half of the area of the square. Of course I noticed that after doing 2 minutes of calculations. :P</p>
<p>I always liked analytical geometry over plane geometry. :x</p>
<p>How many questions did everyone skip?</p>
<p>I didnt skip any</p>
<p>The writing section was pretty straightforward. The critical reading was slightly harder. The math was average- maybe the last few questions of the written response were tricky.</p>
<p>I have a question. In the Japanese artist passage, what did she mean by "cast"ing a shadow?</p>
<p>putting forth or foreward</p>
<p>I put "put forth" for that one I think.</p>
<p>Guys, bad idea or good idea to skip questions? o.o</p>
<p>I thought the second critical reading section was easier than the first.</p>
<p>Skipping depends on whether you're aiming for high 700s/800 or not.</p>
<p>A few math questions...</p>
<p>the one about "the number of 3 digit numbers that have the odd numbers less than 6 as their digits"- did it say that they couldnt repeat? I put 6 and now I realize that it was probably 12 :P</p>
<p>and the one about the volume of the cut up box- 112?</p>
<p>and the last question-75<x-2/3<76. What's a possible value for x-2/6? </p>
<p>Is it any number between 37.5 and 38?</p>
<p>^ for the first, I put 27. Their digits could repeat.</p>
<p>112 is right.</p>
<p>all numbers between 37.5-38 are correct.</p>
<p>EDIT: I got that shaded conic one wrong (just kinda guessed) and the cube one wrong. :(</p>
<p>@xatuuatx:</p>
<p>I got 112 for the cut up box. </p>
<p>I put 37.7 for the one with the x-2/6 is less than thing in the math part.</p>
<p>The 3 digit numbers: I got 27, because the first digit is 5 or 3 or 1, same for the 2nd digit and the 3rd.</p>
