Hi. I noticed on the release of the Score conversions by the CB for all 3 PSAT testing dates, that specifically, Satuday, October 14 had an UNSCORED question - #5 on the math no calc portion. Does anyone have their booklet or access to that question? I would be curious to know what question was unscored. It was the only unscored question that I see out of all 3 testing dates and all sections. Thank you.
I took the Saturday test and that is on my score report too. However, I don’t think we are supposed to talk about specific questions.
Could be that it was a demo question. They do trial questions that don’t factor into the score, but I am not sure if they do that for the PSAT. Or, more likely, the question was wrong. Maybe they messed up the answer choices, or worded the problem incorrectly. If that was the case, no one would have recieved credit for it and everyone’s score would be calculated minus that problem.
yes i don’t think we are supposed to talkk about specific questions, but I guess we will find out when the score packets are distributed to the kids in the next few weeks.
You can access specific questions by clicking on them in the score report.
nothing comes up for the unscored question. we will wait for the actual packet to be given back to students.
Specifically from the test booklet explanation: “The statistical analysis of this question led to a determination that it did not perform as intended. As a result, the question will not be scored and is identified as “unscorable” on reports” I assume this means that the question was not scored for anyone, so it does not affect anyone’s score (NMSI)?
not scored for anyone for the test on saturday. i was just curious which question it actually was…but I don’t think they tell you that.
I don’t think I can say the specific question but it was basically an inequality and said which of the following is a solution to the inequality. There was nothing erroneous about the question (worded with no ambiguity and only one right answer) but wasn’t scored.
