Medium-Term Notes, Series D

Index-Linked Trigger Notes due

(Linked to the S&P 500® Index)

The notes will not bear interest. The amount that you will be paid on your notes on the stated maturity date (set on the trade date, expected to be May 22, 2013, subject to adjustment) is based on the performance of the S&P 500® Index (which we refer to as the index or underlier) as measured from the trade date to and including the determination date (set on the trade date, expected to be May 17, 2013, subject to adjustment). The return on your notes is linked to the performance of the index and whether a trigger event has occurred. A trigger event will occur if the closing level of the index has declined, as compared to the initial index level, by more than the trigger buffer amount of 22.10% during the measurement period. The measurement period will be every trading day from but excluding the trade date to and including the determination date. If a trigger event occurs during the measurement period you could lose your entire investment in the notes if the index level declines to zero. Additionally, the amount you may receive for each $1,000 face amount of your notes at maturity is subject to a maximum settlement amount of $1,150.00.

To determine your payment at maturity, we will first calculate the percentage increase or decrease in the final index level (determined on the determination date, subject to adjustment) from the initial index level (set on the trade date), which we refer to as the index return. The index return may reflect a positive return (based on any increase in the index level over the life of the notes) or a negative return (based on any decrease in the index level over the life of the notes). On the stated maturity date, for each $1,000 face amount of your notes:

· if a trigger event occurs during the measurement period, you will receive an amount in cash equal to the sum of (i) $1,000 plus (ii) the product of the index return times $1,000, subject to the maximum settlement amount; or

· if a trigger event does not occur during the measurement period, you will receive an amount in cash equal to the sum of (i) $1,000 plus (ii) the greater of:

· the product of the index return times $1,000, subject to the maximum settlement amount; or

· the product of the contingent minimum return of 5.00% times $1,000.

You could lose your entire investment in the notes. If a trigger event occurs during the measurement period and the final index level is less than the initial index level, you will receive less than the face amount of your notes and you could lose your entire investment in the notes. This means that while a 22.10% drop between the initial index level and the closing level of the index on any day during the measurement period will not result in a loss of principal on the notes (since a trigger event will not have occurred), a decrease in the closing level of the index level to less than 77.90% of the initial index level on any day during the measurement period may result in a loss of a significant portion of the principal amount of the notes despite only a small change in the index level. Further, the maximum payment that you could receive on the stated maturity date with respect to each $1,000 face amount of your notes (the minimum denomination) is limited to the maximum settlement amount of $1,150.00. In addition, the notes will not pay interest, and no other payments on your notes will be made prior to the stated maturity date.

Because we have provided only a brief summary of the terms of your notes above, you should read the detailed description of the terms of the notes found in “Summary Information” on page PS-2 in this pricing supplement and the general terms of the notes found in “General Terms of the Underlier-Linked Trigger Notes” on page S-35 of the accompanying product supplement no. 1067 and the description of the underlier and additional terms of the notes in the accompanying general terms supplement.

Your investment in the notes involves certain risks. In particular, assuming no changes in market conditions or our creditworthiness and other relevant factors, the value of your notes on the trade date (as determined by reference to pricing models used by Goldman, Sachs & Co. and taking into account our credit spreads) will, and the price you may receive for your notes may, be significantly less than the original issue price. The value or quoted price of your notes at any time will reflect many factors and cannot be predicted; however, the price at which Goldman, Sachs & Co. would initially buy or sell notes (if Goldman, Sachs & Co. makes a market) and the value that Goldman, Sachs & Co. will initially use for account statements and otherwise will significantly exceed the value of your notes using such pricing models. The amount of the excess will decline on a straight line basis over the period from the date hereof through November , 2012. We encourage you to read “Additional Risk Factors Specific to the Underlier-Linked Trigger Notes” on page S-30 of the accompanying product supplement no. 1067, “Additional Risk Factors Specific to the Notes” on page S-1 of the accompanying general terms supplement and “Additional Risk Factors Specific to Your Notes” on page PS-10 of this pricing supplement so that you may better understand those risks.

Original issue date (settlement date):		, 2012		Original issue price:		100.00% of the face amount
Underwriting discount:		% of the face amount		Net proceeds to the issuer:		% of the face amount

Accounts of certain national banks, acting as purchase agents for such accounts, have agreed with the purchase agents to pay a purchase price of % of the face amount, and as a result of such agreements, the agents with respect to sales to be made to such accounts will not receive any portion of the underwriting discount from Goldman, Sachs & Co.

The issue price, underwriting discount and net proceeds listed above relate to the notes we sell initially. We may decide to sell additional notes after the date of this pricing supplement, at issue prices and with underwriting discounts and net proceeds that differ from the amounts set forth above. The return (whether positive or negative) on your investment in notes will depend in part on the issue price you pay for such notes.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any other regulatory body has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of this pricing supplement, the accompanying product supplement, the accompanying general terms supplement, the accompanying prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

The notes are not bank deposits and are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency, nor are they obligations of, or guaranteed by, a bank.

Goldman Sachs may use this pricing supplement in the initial sale of the notes. In addition, Goldman, Sachs & Co. or any other affiliate of Goldman Sachs may use this pricing supplement in a market-making transaction in a note after its initial sale. Unless Goldman Sachs or its agent informs the purchaser otherwise in the confirmation of sale, this pricing supplement is being used in a market-making transaction.

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLES

The following table and chart are provided for purposes of illustration only. They should not be taken as an indication or prediction of future investment results and are intended merely to illustrate the impact that the various hypothetical underlier levels on the determination date could have on the cash settlement amount at maturity assuming all other variables remain constant.

The examples below are based on a range of final underlier levels that are entirely hypothetical; no one can predict what the underlier level will be on any day throughout the life of your notes, and no one can predict what the final underlier level will be on the determination date. The underlier has been highly volatile in the past — meaning that the underlier level has changed considerably in relatively short periods — and its performance cannot be predicted for any future period.

The information in the following examples reflects hypothetical rates of return on the offered notes assuming that they are purchased on the original issue date at the face amount and held to the stated maturity date. If you sell your notes in a secondary market prior to the stated maturity date, your return will depend upon the market value of your notes at the time of sale, which may be affected by a number of factors that are not reflected in the table below such as interest rates, the volatility of the underlier and our creditworthiness. In addition, assuming no changes in market conditions or our creditworthiness and any other relevant factors, the value of your notes on the trade date (as determined by reference to pricing models used by Goldman, Sachs & Co. and taking into account our credit spreads) will, and the price you may receive for your notes may, be significantly less than the issue price. For more information on the value of your notes in the secondary market, see “Additional Risk Factors Specific to the Underlier-Linked Trigger Notes — Assuming No Changes in Market Conditions or any Other Relevant Factors, the Market Value of Your Notes on the Date of Any Applicable Pricing Supplement (as Determined By Reference to Pricing Models Used by Goldman, Sachs & Co.) Will, and the Price You May Receive for Your Notes May, Be Significantly Less Than the Issue Price” on page S-31 of the accompanying product supplement no. 1067 and “Additional Risk Factors Specific to Your Notes — Assuming No Changes in Market Conditions or Any Other Relevant Factors, the Market Value of Your Notes on the Trade Date (as Determined By Reference to Pricing Models Used by Goldman, Sachs & Co.) Will, and the Price You May Receive for Your Notes May, Be Significantly Less Than the Issue Price” on page PS-10 of this pricing supplement. The information in the table also reflects the key terms and assumptions in the box below.


Key Terms and Assumptions

Face amount		$1,000

Upside participation rate		100.00%

Cap level		115.00% of the initial underlier level

Maximum settlement amount		$1,150.00

Contingent minimum return		5.00%

Trigger buffer amount		22.10%

Neither a market disruption event nor a non-trading day occurs on the originally scheduled determination date No change in or affecting any of the underlier stocks or the method by which the underlier sponsor calculates the underlier Notes purchased on original issue date at the face amount and held to the stated maturity date

Moreover, we have not yet set the initial underlier level that will serve as the baseline for determining the underlier return and the amount that we will pay on your notes, if any, at maturity. We will not do so until the trade date. As a result, the actual initial underlier level may differ substantially from the underlier level prior to the trade date.

For these reasons, the actual performance of the underlier over the life of your notes, as well as the amount payable at maturity, if any, may bear little relation to the hypothetical examples shown below or to the historical underlier levels shown elsewhere in this pricing supplement. For information about the historical levels of the underlier during recent periods, see “The Underlier — Historical High, Low and Closing Levels of the Underlier” below. Before investing in the offered notes, you should consult publicly available information to determine the levels of the underlier between the date of this pricing supplement and the date of your purchase of the offered notes.

Also, the hypothetical examples shown below do not take into account the effects of applicable taxes. Because of the U.S. tax treatment applicable to your notes, tax liabilities could affect the after-tax rate of return on your notes to a comparatively greater extent than the after-tax return on the underlier stocks.

The levels in the left column of the table below represent hypothetical final underlier levels and are expressed as percentages of the initial underlier level. The amounts in the middle column represent the hypothetical cash settlement amounts, based on the corresponding hypothetical final underlier level (expressed as a percentage of the initial underlier level), assuming that a trigger event does not occur (i.e., the closing level of the underlier has not declined, as compared to the initial underlier level, by more than the trigger buffer amount during the measurement period), and are expressed as percentages of the face amount of a note (rounded to the nearest one-thousandth of a percent). The amounts in the right column represent the hypothetical cash settlement amounts, based on the corresponding hypothetical final underlier level (expressed as a percentage of the initial underlier level), assuming that a trigger event occurs (i.e., the closing level of the underlier has declined, as compared to the initial underlier level, by more than the trigger buffer amount during the measurement period),and are expressed as percentages of the face amount of a note (rounded to the nearest one-thousandth of a percent). Thus, a hypothetical cash settlement amount of 100.000% means that the value of the cash payment that we would deliver for each $1,000 of the outstanding face amount of the offered notes on the stated maturity date would equal 100.000% of the face amount of a note, based on the corresponding hypothetical final underlier level (expressed as a percentage of the initial underlier level) and the assumptions noted above.

If, for example, a trigger event has occurred and the final underlier level were determined to be 50.000% of the initial underlier level, the cash settlement amount that we would deliver on your notes at maturity would be 50.000% of the face amount of your notes, as shown in the table above. As a result, if you purchased your notes on the original issue date at the face amount and held them to the stated maturity date, you would lose 50.000% of your investment (if your purchased your notes at a premium to face amount you would lose a correspondingly higher percentage of your investment).

If, for example, a trigger event has not occurred and the final underlier level were determined to be 103.000% of the initial underlier level, the cash settlement amount that we would deliver on your notes at maturity would be 105.000% of the face amount of your notes, as shown in the table above. Because a trigger event has not occurred and the hypothetical underlier return of 3.00% is less than the minimum contingent return of 5.00%, the cash settlement amount that we would deliver on your notes at maturity would be 105.000% of the face amount of your notes, as shown in the table above. If, however, the final underlier level were determined to be 107.000% of the initial underlier level, the cash settlement amount that we would deliver on your notes at maturity would be 107.000% of the face amount of your notes, as shown in the table above. Because a trigger event has not occurred and the hypothetical underlier return of 7.00% is greater than the minimum contingent return of 5.00%, the cash settlement amount that we would deliver on your notes at maturity would be 107.000% of the face amount of your notes as shown in the table above. In addition, if a trigger event has not occurred and the final underlier level were determined to be 150.000% of the initial underlier level, the cash settlement amount that we would deliver on your notes at maturity would be capped at the maximum settlement amount (expressed as a percentage of the face amount), or 115.000% of each $1,000 face amount of your notes, as shown in the table above. As a result, if you held your notes to the stated maturity date, you would not benefit from any increase in the final underlier level over 115.000% of the initial underlier level.

The cash settlement amounts shown above are entirely hypothetical; they are based on market prices for the underlier stocks that may not be achieved on the determination date and on assumptions that may prove to be erroneous. The actual market value of your notes on the stated maturity date or at any other time, including any time you may wish to sell your notes, may bear little relation to the hypothetical cash settlement amounts shown above, and these amounts should not be viewed as an indication of the financial return on an investment in the offered notes. The hypothetical cash settlement amounts on notes held to the stated maturity date in the examples above assume you purchased your notes at their face amount and have not been adjusted to reflect the actual issue price you pay for your notes. The return on your investment (whether positive or negative) in your notes will be affected by the amount you pay for your notes. If you purchase your notes for a price other than the face amount, the return on your investment will differ from, and may be significantly lower than, the hypothetical returns suggested by the above examples. Please read “Additional Risk Factors Specific to the Underlier-Linked Trigger Notes — The Market Value of Your Notes May Be Influenced by Many Unpredictable Factors” on page S-32 of the accompanying product supplement no. 1067.

Payments on the notes are economically equivalent to the amounts that would be paid on a combination of other instruments. For example, payments on the notes are economically equivalent to a combination of an interest-bearing bond bought by the holder and one or more options entered into between the holder and us (with one or more implicit option premiums paid over time). The discussion in this paragraph does not modify or affect the terms of the notes or the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the notes, as described elsewhere in this pricing supplement.

We cannot predict the actual final underlier level or what the market value of your notes will be on any particular trading day, nor can we predict the relationship between the underlier level and the market value of your notes at any time prior to the stated maturity date. The actual amount that you will receive, if any, at maturity and the rate of return on the offered notes will depend on the actual initial underlier level and the actual final underlier level determined by the calculation agent as described above. Moreover, the assumptions on which the hypothetical returns are based may turn out to be inaccurate. Consequently, the amount of cash to be paid in respect of your notes, if any, on the stated maturity date may be very different from the information reflected in the table and chart above.

ADDITIONAL RISK FACTORS SPECIFIC TO YOUR NOTES

An investment in your notes is subject to the risks described below, as well as the risks described under “Considerations Relating to Indexed Securities” in the accompanying prospectus dated September 19, 2011, “Additional Risk Factors Specific to the Notes” in the accompanying general terms supplement, and “Additional Risk Factors Specific to the Underlier-Linked Trigger Notes” in the accompanying product supplement no. 1067. Your notes are a riskier investment than ordinary debt securities. Also, your notes are not equivalent to investing directly in the underlier stocks, i.e., the stocks comprising the underlier to which your notes are linked. You should carefully consider whether the offered notes are suited to your particular circumstances.

Assuming No Changes in Market Conditions or any Other Relevant Factors, the Market Value of Your Notes on the Trade Date (as Determined By Reference to Pricing Models Used By Goldman, Sachs & Co.) Will, and the Price You May Receive for Your Notes May, Be Significantly Less Than the Issue Price

The original issue price for your notes, the price at which Goldman, Sachs & Co. would initially buy or sell your notes (if Goldman, Sachs & Co. makes a market, which it is under no obligation to do) and the value that Goldman, Sachs & Co. will initially use for account statements and otherwise will significantly exceed the value of your notes using such pricing models. The amount of the excess will decline on a straight line basis over the period from the date hereof through November , 2012. After November , 2012, the price at which Goldman, Sachs & Co. would buy or sell notes will reflect the value determined by reference to the pricing models, plus our customary bid and asked spread.

In addition to the factors discussed above, the value or quoted price of your notes at any time, however, will reflect many factors and cannot be predicted. If Goldman, Sachs & Co. makes a market in the notes, the price quoted by Goldman, Sachs & Co. would reflect any changes in market conditions and other relevant factors, including a deterioration in our creditworthiness or perceived creditworthiness whether measured by our credit ratings or other credit measures. These changes may adversely affect the market price of your notes, including the price you may receive for your notes in any market making transaction. To the extent that Goldman, Sachs & Co. makes a market in the notes, it may receive income from the spreads between its bid and offer prices for the notes, if any. The quoted price (and the value of your notes that Goldman, Sachs & Co. will use for account statements or otherwise) could be higher or lower than the original issue price, and may be higher or lower than the value of your notes as determined by reference to pricing models used by Goldman, Sachs & Co.

If at any time a third party dealer quotes a price to purchase your notes or otherwise values your notes, that price may be significantly different (higher or lower) than any price quoted by Goldman, Sachs & Co. You should read “Additional Risk Factors Specific to the Underlier-Linked Trigger Notes — The Market Value of Your Notes May Be Influenced by Many Unpredictable Factors” on page S-32 of the accompanying product supplement no. 1067.

Furthermore, if you sell your notes, you will likely be charged a commission for secondary market transactions, or the price will likely reflect a dealer discount.

There is no assurance that Goldman, Sachs & Co. or any other party will be willing to purchase your notes and, in this regard, Goldman, Sachs & Co. is not obligated to make a market in the notes. See “Additional Risk Factors Specific to the Underlier-Linked Trigger Notes — Your Notes May Not Have an Active Trading Market” on page S-32 of the accompanying product supplement no. 1067.

You May Lose Your Entire Investment in the Notes

You can lose your entire investment in the notes. The cash payment on your notes, if any, on the stated maturity date will be based on the performance of the S&P 500® Index as measured from the initial underlier level set on the trade date to the closing level on the determination date. If a trigger event has occurred and the final underlier level for your notes is less than the initial underlier level, the amount in cash you will receive on your notes on the stated maturity date, if any, will be less than the face amount of your notes. Thus, you may lose your entire investment in the notes, which would include any premium to face amount you paid when you purchased the notes.

Also, the market price of your notes prior to the stated maturity date may be significantly lower than the purchase price you pay for your notes. Consequently, if you sell your notes before the stated maturity date, you may receive far less than the amount of your investment in the notes.

The Return on Your Notes May Change Significantly Despite Only a Small Change in the Underlier Level

If a trigger event occurs during the measurement period and the final underlier level is less than the initial underlier level, you will receive less than the face amount of your notes and you could lose all or a substantial portion of your investment in the notes. This means that while a 22.10% drop between the initial underlier level and the closing level of the underlier on any day during the measurement period will not result in a loss of principal on the notes (since a trigger event will not have occurred), a decrease in the closing level of the underlier to less than 77.90% of the initial underlier level on any day during the measurement period may result in a loss of a significant portion of the principal amount of the notes despite only a small change in the underlier level.

Your Notes Will Not Bear Interest

You will not receive any interest payments on your notes. As a result, even if the amount payable for your notes on the stated maturity date exceeds the face amount of your notes, the overall return you earn on your notes may be less than you would have earned by investing in a non-indexed debt security of comparable maturity that bears interest at a prevailing market rate.

The Potential for the Value of Your Notes to Increase May Be Limited

Your ability to participate in any change in the value of the underlier over the life of your notes will be limited because of the cap level, which is equal to 115.00% of the initial underlier level. The maximum settlement amount will limit the amount in cash you may receive for each of your notes at maturity, no matter how much the level of the underlier may rise beyond the cap level over the life of your notes. Accordingly, the amount payable for each of your notes may be significantly less than it would have been had you invested directly in the underlier.

The Notes are Subject to the Credit Risk of Goldman Sachs

Although the return on the notes will be based on the performance of the underlier, the payment of any amount due on the notes is subject to the credit risk of Goldman Sachs. Investors are dependent on our ability to pay all amounts due on the notes, and therefore investors are subject to our credit risk and to changes in the market’s view of our creditworthiness. In addition, any decline in our credit ratings or any increase in our credit spreads is likely to adversely affect the market value of the notes prior to maturity.

We May Sell an Additional Aggregate Face Amount of the Notes at a Different Issue Price

At our sole option, we may decide to sell an additional aggregate face amount of the notes subsequent to the date of this pricing supplement. The issue price of the notes in the subsequent sale may differ substantially (higher or lower) from the issue price you paid as provided on the cover of this pricing supplement.

If You Purchase Your Notes at a Premium to Face Amount, the Return on Your Investment Will Be Lower Than the Return on Notes Purchased at Face Amount and the Impact of Certain Key Terms of the Notes Will be Negatively Affected

The cash settlement amount you will be paid for your notes on the stated maturity date will not be adjusted based on the issue price you pay for the notes. If you purchase notes at a price that differs from the face amount of the notes, then the return on your investment in such notes held to the stated maturity date will differ from, and may be substantially less than, the return on notes purchased at face amount. If you purchase your notes at a premium to face amount and hold them to the stated maturity date the return on your investment in the notes will be lower than it would have been had you purchased the notes at face amount or a discount to face amount. In addition, the impact of the cap level on the return on your investment will depend upon the price you pay for your notes relative to face amount. For example, if you purchase your notes at a premium to face amount, the cap level will only permit a lower percentage increase in your investment in the notes than would have been the case for notes purchased at face amount or a discount to face amount.

THE UNDERLIER

The S&P 500® Index includes a representative sample of 500 leading companies in leading industries of the U.S. economy. The S&P 500® Index is calculated, maintained and published by Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC (“Standard & Poor’s”).

As of April 27, 2012, the 500 companies included in the S&P 500® Index were divided into ten Global Industry Classification Sectors. The Global Industry Classification Sectors include (with the percentage currently included in such sectors indicated in parentheses): Consumer Discretionary (11.23%), Consumer Staples (10.84%), Energy (11.12%), Financials (14.70%), Health Care (11.35%), Industrials (10.56%), Information Technology (20.38%), Materials (3.46%), Telecommunication Services (2.88%) and Utilities (3.48%). (Sector designations are determined by the index sponsor using criteria it has selected or developed. Index sponsors may use very different standards for determining sector designations. In addition, many companies operate in a number of sectors, but are listed in only one sector and the basis on which that sector is selected may also differ. As a result, sector comparisons between indices with different index sponsors may reflect differences in methodology as well as actual differences in the sector composition of the indices.)

The above information supplements the description of the underlier found in the accompanying general terms supplement. In addition, Standard & Poor’s has updated its policies with respect to the S&P 500® Index such that certain de minimis merger and acquisition related changes may be computed and implemented quarterly and no adjustment to the divisor will be made if a spun-off company is added to the index but no company is removed. For more details about the underlier, the underlier sponsor and license agreement between the underlier sponsor and the issuer, see “The Underliers-S&P 500® Index” on page S-31 of the accompanying general terms supplement.

Historical High, Low and Closing Levels of the Underlier

The closing level of the underlier has fluctuated in the past and may, in the future, experience significant fluctuations. Any historical upward or downward trend in the closing level of the underlier during any period shown below is not an indication that the underlier is more or less likely to increase or decrease at any time during the life of your notes.

You should not take the historical levels of the underlier as an indication of the future performance of the underlier. We cannot give you any assurance that the future performance of the underlier or the underlier stocks will result in your receiving an amount greater than the outstanding face amount of your notes on the stated maturity date.

Neither we nor any of our affiliates make any representation to you as to the performance of the underlier. The actual performance of the underlier over the life of the offered notes, as well as the amount payable at maturity, may bear little relation to the historical levels shown below.

The table below shows the high, low and final closing levels of the underlier for each of the four calendar quarters in 2009, 2010 and 2011 and the first two calendar quarters of 2012 (through April 27, 2012). We obtained the closing levels listed in the table below from Bloomberg Financial Services, without independent verification.
