What did you all think of October 15th 2008 PSAT?

<p>i got 1998 for the consecutive even numbers problem also, but now i see why i got the volume one wrong. i'm soo happy you don't lose points for stdent-produced answers!</p>

<p>hey what did you guys put for that one writing question about Mr. Bret's departure.
I don't remember every single option but I had it narrowed down to 2:
"Mr. Bret's departure will diminish the reputation of our school like none other."
"Nothing will diminish the reputation of our school as much as Mr. Bret's departure will."</p>

<p>:O In the passage about the japanese artist her name could mean either nose or flower in japanese.</p>

<p>thats all I was thinking throughout that passage.</p>

<p>then I started transcribing the japanese words in hirigana...I think I hd a bit of extra time.</p>

<p>the second, if i am remembering correctly.</p>

<p>why the second?</p>

<p>Skipping questions just leaves points on the desk that should be on your score report.</p>

<p>I agree. In all the standardized tests I've taken I've never skipped an answer... I always give it a shot if I can eliminate one or two. Did everyone here have "Put Forth" for the cast problem in CR? I found myself picturing an obelisk moving shadows around and chose that choice.</p>

<p>ya its def put forth.... all of the others were implying human action i believe....</p>

<p>does anyone remember the other options for the "sunflower description within parenthesis"? it was a hanna the artist one.</p>

<p>My son didn't have much to say about the test except this: "There was one really easy math question. It asked how many points are above the line. No kidding. Just count the dots."</p>

<p>Really? Was there more to it than that? Or was it really that simple?</p>

<p>I'm pretty sure that was the extent of it DougBetsy. And I think the answer was 9, if anyone wants to back me up.</p>

<p>Yes the answer was 9. 9 Above and 4 below the line of best fit. Nice to see some easy points here and there.</p>

<p>Hey, just wondering, are we going to get our PSAT results back earlier on collegeboard.com or will the printed version come first?</p>

<p>Reading this thread has made me horribly nervous for Saturday. That said, I should be practicing but I'm ready to set my practice tests on fire.</p>

<p>@ ashleyL</p>

<p>I'd say the printed version because don't you need the code to access your score report online?</p>

<p>For the passage based questions about mars, was the answer for the authors views topographical vs. mineralogical? And for the math question about the maximum number of points a circle with a radius of 6 and a circle with a radius of 12, 2?</p>

<p>Opus2317, I believe those were the correct answers.
I dunno why I picked another choice for the Mars question...</p>

<p>does anyone know when the scores for this psat are sent?</p>

<p>For the departure I put the second one. I think it would not be the first one because it says none other but does refer to any other event or any other sort of departure by anyone else. I think I missed 3 or 4 for sure on the math and felt good about my CR's. I skipped 1 MC math and 1 free response and 1 CR.</p>

<p>You may not see official score reports till after the turn of the year. The flood of mail from colleges usually begins in January.</p>
