<p>@PAMom21 the cutoff has been 211 three or four times before. I believe the last time was 2010, the curve in 2010 was similar to this, so i hope I have a chance. If anyone else could give advice it would be much appreciated! Thanks again!</p>
<p>Is it possible to get a good estimate using the state reports, I tried to yesterday for the previous years, but I couldn’t see the correlation…</p>
<p>@palm12341 I bow down before you!</p>
<p>It makes really happy that the mean scores on the understanding the scores were for last year. I was wondering how they matched up so perfectly with last years means. Hopefully this year’s will be lower. </p>
<p>I think it may be higher for math it possibly lower for reading and writing. Does anyone still have the Understanding your scores 2013, not the 2014 one. Thanks!</p>
<p>I’m getting the not available message. What browser is it working in?</p>
<p>State reports are hard to read, but using mostly the top data, rather than the mean data, you should be able to get a feel for whether cuts are going to go up or down, or land roughly the same. I was pretty sure PA was likely to go down, but just a nudge, and it did go down one point. It’s a shame they no longer post current mean data, which they did years ago from a current junior sample, rather than a previous year exact, as that data is the most useful. But there’s no way to get it,

<p>Have any homeschoolers received their scores yet?</p>
<p>For 2013, which was data from the class of 2014:</p>
<p>Mean 142.7
SD 13
96th percentile 200
97th 303
98th 208
99th 215
99th+ 225</p>
<p>Commended 203, most states near record highs.</p>
<p>@HarvardMITBooth Do u mean @palm12341’s method isnt reliable?</p>
<p>230 in Oklahoma so I’m basically a god among men.
77 CR -2
80 M
73 W -2</p>
<p>@tchonka97 Are you including the penalty for guessing.</p>
<p>CR and W are MC. If you got 2 wrong in each, in addition to discounting the points you missed for the question, you have to subtract .25 per each = .50 then you have to round it up a point.</p>
<p>So, instead of -2, you have -3 in CR and W.</p>
<p>That’s what I think :-(</p>
<p>@californiasailor hey bud missed grid ins count as omitted. no one is trying to cheat you</p>
<p>I combed through all of our reports, and FINALLY found one that had an X.25 score, and it does appear that was rounded down for scoring purposes (from 2012)</p>
<p>@kittymom1102 no, you subtract of the -2.5 from your score then round up. so i wouldve had a 45.5 on cr which rounds to 46. thats how college board says its calculated.</p>
<p>Actually, two wrong works in your favor. You total your correct, then subtract the wrong (0.5) and round up the result, which would be X.5, and move up. </p>
<p>Hey guys, when you receive your actually score report please let us know when you got it and what state you live in. I believe the method is reliable but I’m very nervous about my math score. The thing says that I omitted the first two gridins which are always a joke. I might have forgotten to bubble but that is highly unlikely considering I have never done this. This brought me down 7 points. I’m still anxious to receive the actual report. Thanks guys!!!</p>
<p>Good to know! We were thinking that my son had missed a point :-(</p>
<p>Thank you SO MUCH!</p>
<p>@danwgun missed grid ins count as omitted. thats why.</p>
<p>But those were the only 2 maths I missed. There’s no way I missed those because those are practically free points. It’s still possible but highly unlikely. I also remember getting 150 and 216 as answers.</p>
<p>I just looked at 4 reports I have for the past two years, and was able to verify that yes, wrong errors are subtracted first, THEN the total is rounded up. XX.25 does NOT round up, and XX.5 does. Hope that helps!</p>
