Psat 2012 saturday

<p>Yeah, I got the absolute value one to be four as well. What do you guys think these raw scores would be scaled:
Math: -1
CR: -1 or -2
Writing: -1</p>

<p>@random: i’d guess 68 72 80 based off previous scoring rubrics</p>

<p>Um guys… what was the answer to the math question about “the highest possible median of three different integers adding up to 50?” 23? or 24?</p>

<p>wait i thought “some lady politician winning votes because she stood on this viewpoint, the sentence” was the choice “in” because i thought you ran for office, not run in office</p>

<p>smileykins I’d guess 76, 80 or 79, and 79</p>

<p>@mikey12790 it was 24 and can someone explain to me which is correct over the other in depicted and had depicted and why that is so?</p>

<p>Dangit…
Well, here are my scores then:</p>

<p>Is this gonna be like 235-ish?</p>

<p>Math: -1
CR: -0
Writing: -0</p>

<p>Also how do you guys think the grading will work? Last year the grading was fairly tough (3 wrong in math drops to a 72 and one wrong question in writing was quite the dropper. I expected to get a 65 in reading based on my practice tests (I’m not that good at reading) and I think I may have gotten around that score today, maybe a little higher. For math I made one stupid mistake towards the end and in writing I thought I got only one wrong but based on the answers in this thread I may have gotten 3 or 4 wrong. Apparently people think this test was more difficult than the others so does that mean the grading will be more lenient? I’m aiming for around a 213 since that’s usually the average score required for NMS in my state.</p>

<p>@qwerty: Another answer choice for mantle was crust (and i think another was shelf). appearance is right though, as you said. </p>

<p>Does anybody remember the Edgar Allan Poe CR vocab question? It was in the first section like #4 or 5. I said that the answer started “s” I don’t remember the word.</p>

<p>I do remember this year being easier than last year… so the curve probably won’t be easier? Also, will the one stupid mistake in math (I put 23) drop me a lot?</p>

<p>@theuntruth
What was the question exactly?</p>

<p>@mikey: it was 24. the 3 numbers were 1, 24, and 24.</p>

<p>@untruth: it was seminal.</p>

<p>@theuntruth
seminal, it’s the right answer</p>

<p>@jacobjay I found it fairly easy. Reading, writing, and math are my strong points but math is the one I think I will miss the most. I didn’t think it was incredibly hard.
I know I wish we could know our scores like next Friday!! December is soooo long.
Also I too was tossing and turning last night out of all nights! </p>

<p>^^ I made the same mistake in math…i’m so annoyed, that was the only one I got wrong!</p>

<p>Oh and also, did anyone else put the “investigated the sponges” answer for the passage about how the guy followed the guidelines about science not being biased? And for the one right after, did conservative biologists feel that convention was “not aggressive enough”?</p>

<p>Anyone remember the exact/close to exact train one involving 20 mi at 60mph then 8 mi at 40 mph?</p>

<p>What was answer?</p>

<p>@Toasty and Eternity: Thank you so much!! I feel so much better now :slight_smile:
@VSinclair: Agreed, we have to wait wayyy too long to get these back. Do you know exactly when it is in December?
@Scholar1: I’m pretty sure the answer was 52.5mph, because it is 28 miles and when you divide that by the total amount of time (I don’t remember exactly, you got 52.5)</p>

<p>scholar - 52.5 mph</p>

<p>@Scholar1 52.5 i believe
@mikey12790
I don’t think it was “not aggressive enough” what were some other choices?</p>
