*OFFICIAL PSAT THREAD 2014 (US)*

<p>im pretty sure the asterisk says whether you qualify…?</p>

<p>Hey! Thanks for the hack! What does it mean if <em>all</em> of the links turn up with an error?</p>

<p>(My College Quickstart is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later.)</p>

<p>I know it worked for my friend on the same computer, same internet access, same time. </p>

<p>Thanks again!</p>

<p>Asterisk is to indicate whether or not you are qualified to enter the competition itself regardless of the score. </p>

<p>Are you sure? I got an error for all of them, and I’m pretty sure I got at least one or two wrong in some places.</p>

<p>If you really want to know your score just use this method and go through each question to be sure. </p>

<ol>
<li>Go to <a href=“Student Score Reports”>Student Score Reports; and sign in.</li>
<li>Go to <a href=“Student Score Reports”>Student Score Reports;
This page will show you the first question and will say at the top if you got it right or wrong.</li>
<li>Change the ‘1’ at the end of the url to ‘2’ and repeat, until you have gone through all the CR questions.</li>
<li>Repeat steps 2-3 but with <a href=“Student Score Reports”>Student Score Reports; for math andhttps://quickstart.collegeboard.org/posweb/questionInfoNewAction.do?testYear=2014&skillCd=W&questionNbr=1 for writing.</li>
<li>Count how many you got wrong and then calculate your score with the curve fromhttps://<a href=“Understanding PSAT/NMSQT Scores - SAT Suite”>www.collegeboard.org/pdf/psat/understanding-psat-nmsqt-scores-guide_0.pdf</a></li>
</ol>

<p>I mean this should be accurate because I missed the exact questions I thought I missed.</p>

<p>See, I’m sort of confused. For example, @jdavies33‌ when you say (-1) for CR is that 4 questions wrong or 1 omit? Sorry to seem annoying but I wanna make sure Im calculating my score correctly.
Thanks!</p>

<p>@PoisonIvy20‌ on CR i got one question wrong, so i got 47 right minus the .25 deduction. That’s 46.75 which rounds up to 47 and gives me an 80 for the scaled score.</p>

<p>My guess is that the server is just overloaded with everyone trying, if people are still getting in this morning. I don’t believe that Temporarily Unavailable is an error message. Maybe someone could copy and paste the actual error message for a particular answer.</p>

<p>@HuckleCat‌ actually error message says</p>

<p>"Error 500–Internal Server Error</p>

<p>From RFC 2068 Hypertext Transfer Protocol – HTTP/1.1:</p>

<p>10.5.1 500 Internal Server Error</p>

<p>The server encountered an unexpected condition which prevented it from fulfilling the request."</p>

<p>okay got it, thanks @jdavies33‌ </p>

<p>Quick question: I’m a sophomore that plans to take the PSAT for the first time in my junior year. What prep books do you recommend for the best score possible? I’ll be taking the new PSAT, I believe, and I’m a bit worried as to how exactly I should prep (material-wise). I plan to take my SAT and ACT for the first time that same year, too.</p>

<p>@16elir, thank you! That was exactly what I was looking for. Looks like we will just wait for the paper score :-)</p>

<p>@puppylove97 Here’s a page with the cutoffs for the last seven years – you won’t know for sure until August or September next year as folks have said, but you can get a sense of how much it might change. Someone said the curve this year was most like the Class of 2010 so that cut off score might be a good bet: <a href=“http://hubpages.com/hub/National-Merit”>http://hubpages.com/hub/National-Merit&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>@tylerfrenchfrye, did you have form S or W because I got -5 multiple choice on writing and got a 65. I had form W. So if you actually got a -5 on the Writing on form W, you would actually have a 65 not a 68 in that section.</p>

<p>Hey guys using the quickstart thing I think I got a 218, do y’all think I can make the Texas cutoff this year? sooo worried lol
(Class of 2016) 65 CR (-7), 80 Math (0), 73 Writing (-2)</p>

<p>@Floridaboii<br>
Qualifying scores in Florida have been (from this year back to 2005): 211,214,211,214,210,211,211,212,215,and 214)…so you do have a chance. Unfortunately, you’ll have to wait until September to find out. Good luck!</p>

<p>According to some old posts, the hacks should be accurate, because they reflected the same score as did their physical score report. </p>

<p>Reading: 4 wrong, 1 omitted (-6)
Math: 0 wrong, 0 omitted (-0)
Writing: 1 wrong, 0 omitted (-1.25)</p>

<p>Can someone tell me my composite score, I would really appreciate it; for some reason the “understanding…scores” PDF file isn’t downloading. Thank you.</p>

<p>Wednesday or Saturday @mzr1998 ?</p>

<p>Wednesday.</p>
