Anybody remember the math question with the bar graph answer of 6? Everyone keeps mentioning it...

jpvn2015

The answer is definitely six, but I don't think it was the highest number.

Did anyone feel that the practice test in the CB booklet was way easier than the actual? Because I hardly missed any in the practice, but then I totally failed the one on Wednesday.

(Or maybe because I derp too hard. 180 degrees in a circle, indeed.)

Hey which SC was this answer : "imitate.. an original"

Sorry I completely forgot ):

Does anyone remember the diagram for the parallel line question? I remember 30 degrees, 20 degrees, but I can't replicate the diagram. >.> I guessed 120 on that one, I couldn't come up with the answer without wasting too much time.

"showing the reason why Machu Piccu was an important place (the special architecture)"

" passage 2 speaks of people who don't believe in the theory of passage 1 (something along those lines)"

"useless (I don't remember if that was the exact answer, but it was asking about how the second passage's author felt about that process that might negate environmental benefits, I think another answer choice was Harmful, which I guess could also be a possible answer)"

What were the questions for these ones?

Wait so there were 3 e no errors? Also, for the passage 1 passage 2 for the brain/control question. Was passage 2 was speaking out to those that were undermined in passage 1? (something like that)

Did this thread disappear this morning for anyone else?

I think there was a question with a bar chart that told the grade distribution of a test. The question was something along the lines of "how many people got an 80 or over on the test". I believe the answer was 6. Can anyone else verify that this was the correct answer? I might be remembering wrong.

@OACLJV
6 was indeed the correct answer.


Although the authoritarian regime afforded significant rights to the ____ of the opposition, their rank-and-file members still had little ____ to engage in political activity."

The correct answer is "elite...latitude"

I cannot remember what I put, and missing this would bring my raw score down from -2 to -4 (I don't omit). Was "plebeian" an answer for either of the blanks? Elite...latitude seems like something I would put, but the word plebeian keeps sticking in my head as the answer I put. Am I just imaging things or did I pick the wrong choice?

kimmylouie

I picked the largest number. So if 6 is the largest out of the choices, then so be it

Yeah the thread did disappear. Does anyone know the exact date we recieve our psat scores?

Does anyone have a general idea of what a -3 in math would do to the score? I.e., is the curve going to be really harsh this year?
I took the 2 practice tests for 2011 and 2012 a couple days prior to taking the test and got a 230 and 231 respectively but only got around 1 or 2 wrong in math; I'm not sure if I just had a really crappy day, as everyone said the math was super-easy...
I'm a junior in multi-variable calc so the questions prooobably should be easy-I think I just got tripped up by silly errors/totally forgetting how to do a "how many paths"-type question.
I live in a state where the cutoff is around 220ish (was 219 the last year and 221 the year before) and if I don't make the cut I'm going to get shanked.
