[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In addition to each state having different cutoffs, [b]it’s annoying that the verbal score counts twice but math only once.[/b] It will in many cases lead to two kids who have the same PSAT score with one being semi finalist and the other commended. [/quote] Three scores used in the calculation: reading, writing/language and math[/quote] But the score for the [b]two verbal is the same. Just counts twice[/b]. There are two maths sections as well. So why does that count once? A kid with perfect math but who misses two verbal questions will be shut out while kid with perfect verbal but who misses two math gets in. They have same total PSAT score and missed same number of questions. Seems totally biased and unfair to kids stronger in math. [/quote] I dont think that's correct. Looking at DS he had different scores for the 3 sections (reading-38; writing-36; math 37.5).[/quote]
