<p>the “has shrunk” question was definitely has and it was no error because the sentence started in present tense.</p>
<p>Wait Overide I thought you were in MD? Huh apparently not…</p>
<p>STOP COMPLAINING 
. 214 isn’t too bad…try 221. :(</p>
<p>Yeah, I definitely wouldn’t get it if it was 221 Unless the CB decided to give more generous curves than last year, or happen to void out one of my missed answers.</p>
<p>Honestly, at the beginning of this discussion I was pretty confident but now 46 pages later I’m completely lost and don’t even know what I got right and wrong. I’m confused as to how you guys are estimating your scores. Please enlighten me.</p>
<p>same- im lucky if i’ll get 221.</p>
<p>@mascara- hehe- he’s probably intimidated by your awesomeness. cute. but ugh, yeah i hate when they compare</p>
<p>I didn’t think the Professor Mo bit had enough evidence support that he was mocking Duncan</p>
<p>did anyone else get no error for “has shrunk” and is confident?</p>
<p>I used the answer sheet on page 29, because I was pretty confident about all the others.
Anything different from the answer sheet I took off 1.25. (Only remove 1.0 if it was a grid question.)</p>
<p>Then if I had further worries I removed an extra point from that category. I came out to CR, -3; math, -3; writing, -3. The integer threes are because you round to the nearest score, so round(38-3.5) = 35 for example.</p>
<p>@Heybud</p>
<p>We estimate our scores based on the curves from previous years. In Critical Reading, you can miss one and retain your 80/800. In Math, -1 is about a 76. In Writing, I’m not sure. A 77???</p>
<p>@HeyBud:</p>
<p>We’re using last year’s cutoff scores for our states (the scores that get you to SemiFinalist):
[National</a> Merit Scholarship cutoff scores](<a href=“404 Not Found”>National Merit Scholarship cutoff scores)</p>
<p>And last year’s curves:
<a href=“http://professionals.collegeboard.com/profdownload/understanding-psat-nmsqt-scores.pdf[/url]”>http://professionals.collegeboard.com/profdownload/understanding-psat-nmsqt-scores.pdf</a></p>
<p>To estimate a) our scores b) whether or not we’ll make Semi Finalist in our state.</p>
<p>Don’t worry, CC will always give you a rough estimate of your score, but there’s always one or two questions that you’ll debate over until december.</p>

Asian parents. Seriously. Hahahaa (:</p>
<p>@jeffreycoleman:
I didn’t get that answer, but I’m certain it’s NE.</p>
<p>mocking- enmity the sentence before was the key word.</p>
<p>Tennessee - 213. Heck yes.</p>
<p>was the “has shrunk” no error?</p>
<p>Good night everyone, 12:42 AM, time to sleep and stop obsessing over my stupid mistakes on the math section.</p>
<p>@Overide -
I just realized the annoying kid I don’t like with a 231 also lives in Florida!
Haha, well good night and see you in december.</p>
<p>@jeffrey: Yes. No error.</p>
<p>Last post of self-pity: I even realized I made a mistake on one of my math ones, but I was in the middle of a question so I told myself I’d go back and fix it after this problem. Then I forgot to go back and fix it… So not only did I make a dumb mistake, I forgot to fix my dumb mistake after realizing it.</p>
<p>was the problem with the right and iscoceles triangle a grid in or not? thats the only wrong i know of after checking this…stupid mistake and wrote that sides could be 1, 1, 22 :(</p>
<p>^it was a multiple choice but seriously try to draw a 1, 1, 22 triangle lol
I made worse mistakes dont stress it tho</p>
<p>so what was the yoyo question in writing like again? haha</p>
<p>I know!!! and i breezed through that section too…had like 10 minutes to spare and somehow never caught that going through the second time. missing 1 on math is BRUTAL</p>
