<p>i got 5… i ended up having x-t = y-z and in the equation, y-z equaled 5</p>
<p>It was 15. if you add the 3 equations together, the variables cancel, leaving you with x-(was it z or t?) = 15</p>
<p>Uggg im soo scared!!! i skipped 3 and missed 2 in CR, skipped 3 and missed 2 in M and missed 1 in W, is it possible, with the difficulty of the test and curves at etc. that i could get a 214?</p>
<p>i also put wistful nostalgia!</p>
<p>I totallyyyy messed this up. :/</p>
<p>CR- i wouldn’t be surprised if I got less than a 50. I’d say somewhere between 45-55. (I didn’t get to finish both sections so I ended up not even being able to answer 10 or more. >.<)
Writing- I’d say 50-65. It could go either way for this one.
Math- I’d ay 63+</p>
<p>But who knows… D:</p>
<p>and YES! I put 50 for that question 
</p>
<p>For the one with the graph and how many points across the y… was it 1? I feel like I did that wrong o.O</p>
<p>I doubt anyone did well on this test; juniors literally had a trip to philadelphia the day before and we didn’t get home until 1 in the morning… We were all wearing sweats and sweatshirts and looked like total ****. xD</p>
<p>I’m sure I made NM but I don’t think I got a 240.</p>
<p>Probably</p>
<p>Reading 75-80
Math 73-75
Writing 78-80</p>
<p>yeah your right. I wish I knew what wry meant going in haha. narrowed it down to those two.</p>
<p>I was wondering if there is a typo on the test. For number 2 of the writing section, it said something like “Found in 1903, Boley, Oklahoma, soon became…”
Is the second comma after Oklahoma necessary? There are no other choices that fit</p>
<p>^^^
you can think of it as saying “Found in 1903, the city of Boley, located in Oklahoma, soon became…” its the same as “Found in 1903, Boley, Oklahoma, soon became…”</p>
<p>i dont remember that whole question but i remember boley oklahoma</p>
<p>Blehhh, I remember getting the union math one wrong, the right answer being m+k-2 when i put -4
For the hard vocab CRs: extemporilize and excoriate… missed the former
Writing wasn’t that bad though… I wasn’t sure but I picked “achieve it” as incorrect for the horses one.
Btw, I think it’s wry disapproval, mostly because he disapproves of the neglect the topic of gardening as a personal experience is; the definition that seems to fit for wry: “Being at variance with what is right, proper, or suitable; perverse”</p>
<p>For the union math question, I’m pretty sure it was m + k - 4…at first I got minus two, but when I read the question again it said the union of numbers in the sets that belonged only to one set. So it should be minus four.</p>
<p>I wavered between wistful nostalgia and bitter resentment…I went with the latter, but now I’m thinking it’s the former x.x;</p>
<p>I got m+k-4 as well. I’m pretty sure I got perfect for math, that’s the only one I was unsure of.</p>
<p>Rueful confession for me. In the end, it came down to the adjectives. Wistful, wry, bitter and rueful, the latter sounded best to me so I went with my gut.</p>
<p>The math one is M+K-2</p>
<p>The union of the two sets has m+k elements
2 of the elements are in both sets.</p>
<p>union of the sets - elements in both sets = m+k-2</p>
<p>EDIT: Oops, made a mistake, see below</p>
<p>i put that too because i think its m + k -4 now. say m: {2,4,6,8} and K: {2,4,10,12}
m +k= 8. but they share 2 and 4 so m+k - [same] = 4. so m + k - 4. ZZZZ i got it wrong im so stupid. should have gone over it twice</p>
<p>Oh, you know what, I think you’re right. 
I probably should have done an example like that first. </p>
<p>The union of the sets of the would actually have M+K-2 elements total. Then you take away the 2 elements and get M+K-4.</p>
<p>Oh well. :P</p>
<p>Ah well, hopefully the math curve won’t be as steep as last year… -4 for 1 question -_-</p>
<p>The curve for the tests is on the PSAT general discussion thread… somewhere… I don’t remember which post. it was towards the end</p>
<p>I put wry disapproval lol cuz i had no idea what wistful nostalgia meant… </p>
<p>math union one i got m + k - 4</p>
<p>I bombed the reading portion. I just went in and guessed on almost all of them lol</p>
<p>To buohuang, 99-49=50 so the answer was 49 and not 50. Come on now, it’s simple math.</p>
<p>1 child + 50 adults = 51 people. the answer wanted the child to be .2% of the people. 1/51 does not equal .2%</p>
<p>1 child + 49 adults = 50 people. 1 child / 50 total people = .2%</p>
