<p>All y’all Cali kids need to stop complaining about the cutoff. It’s 223 here in MA (for last year) which is 2 pts higher than CA last year. Highest state cutoff in the country right here, sigh…</p>

<p>@andrew: Sorry, I didn’t mean to sound like that. We are in similar boats, though, compared with kids in the low or even average cut-off states!</p>
<p>woah, a whole thread dedicated to reviewing the psat</p>
<p>wow!</p>
<p>FYI the last grid-in was 1350. If you expanded (m+t)^2 you get m^2 + 2mt + t^2. Which is equal to (m^2 + t^2) + 2(mt) = (750) + 2(300) = 1350.</p>

i know we talked about this a while ago
but your post 354 i think is invalid
because xy=x would mean that x and why are different numbers
so 1x1=1 is invalid</p>
<p>o_o why would xy = x imply x and y are different numbers? just because they are different variables doesn’t mean they have different values. It just means they CAN have different values. so i’m pretty sure the answer is still i and ii for that question</p>
<p>quick example - I can plot the line y = x, right? so clearly x and y can be the same values.</p>
<p>yes ^^
the III part asked: x cannot equal y
but x CAN equal y
if x=1 and y=1, the equation of xy=x is valid
so i put I and II for the answer</p>
<p>for the question that asked the midpoint between the two decimals… the answer was like .416666666 and i rounded it to .42 on the answer sheet… would this be marked correct?</p>
<p>i dont think so… theres a rule saying that if theres a blank spot in the answer, then the decimal couldve been more specific. but im not 100% sure</p>
<p>hi guys
can someone please predict what my score would be?
math- 3 wrong 1 grid in omit
critical reading- 4 wrong
writing- 1 wrong</p>
<p>harvard - 67 72 78</p>
<p>What is the answer for the question:</p>
<p>The swim coach told Kate and me that we stand a good chance of qualifying next year if we train consistently.</p>
<p>I thought it was e, no error.</p>
<p>signatureCC, i believe the sentence ended with “if we train consistently next year” so I said stand was wrong and had to be will stand. I put B. would you still say its no error even with the “next year”?</p>
<p>I put no error for that swimming coach question, but I believe it should be B, since a present tense if clause implies a future or conditional then clause. That’s really annoying…I haven’t really seen a (P)SAT question test something like that, but I think the answer is B.
The number halfway between 1/3 and 1/2 is 5/12 to be exact, if you had a decimal it needed to be .416 or .417. Unfortunately 0.42 would not be accepted as it isn’t as precise (read the grid-in instructions and you’ll see that this is the case).</p>
<p>@LonghornNation NMSF goes to about 1% of the testtakers.</p>
<p>CR-m 3, o 0
MA-m 0, o 0
WR-m 2, o 0</p>
<p>Also, does anybody have any idea what the NM qualifying score for Oregon is?</p>

If x cannot equal y is implied, then the third rule would not be needed.
Why would they do that?
So I still think that my point is valid indeed.</p>
<p>x can definitely be equal to y, just because they’re different variables doesn’t imply that they’re not equal.</p>
<p>^ditto that</p>
<p>@Harvardjunkie123
and even if x cannot equal y.
2x3 does not equal 2.
So void. Only I and II are valid.</p>
<p>was the swimming one B or E?</p>
