[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I also heard that the cut-off in DC this year was 2 missed questions. So the DC semi-finalists missed either 0, 1 or in a few cases 2 questions (questions are not all weighted the same so some who missed 2 did not make it as a semi-finalist). In contrast in many states kids could miss 10+. So no way is that a reflection on DCPS. To miss 0 or 1 questions a kid has to both know the material and be a phenomenal test taker. Zone out for a minute? Your score is blown. I wonder in part if the environment the kids took the test effected their scores. Wilson gives the test to everyone. [b]You can imagine those PSAT classrooms could be chaotic.[/b] If the standard is perfection or 1 question from it, a difference in environment (quiet testing room vs. not) could easily affect who misses one question vs. who misses two. [/quote] That is a next level excuse. Kudos. [/quote]
