[quote=Anonymous]My son took the digital PSAT in October (11th grade). Overall, he didn’t do well. Last year he took the paper PSAT/NMSQT in 10th and scored in the 90+ percentile on both math and ELA. This year, he did okay on the ELA section but poorly on the math— 150 points less than last year. We looked over the scoring report, which doesn’t tell you which questions your child missed but does give the score range and which types of questions/areas of math/ELA he missed. It’s clear that he had the harder module 2 for ELA but not for math.

Based on practice tests in the past (he hasn’t taken the official SAT yet) and his score report from 10th grade, my child makes careless mistakes but didn’t struggle with higher level math. I think this is a problem for the new testing format (although he has always done well on MAP tests, which are also adaptive but get progressively harder vs capping the score).

I think he was capped at 600 points for math, based on his score. Unfortunately, you can’t tell from the report how the questions are weighted in each section. Did he miss too many questions in module 1 or only harder questions? He already took the ACT and did well and will take it one more time this spring to see if can gain 1-2 points. I don’t think we will bother with the digital SAT.
