PSAT Crunch time

Please post... Random tips, score predictions 😉, sites with free tips/tricks, etc...

I'm counting on you ATOT.

Also feel free to make predictions on what I'll actually get. It's out of 240, the lowest score is a 60, I believe.

Last year I got a 214 and the year before that I got a 209. I'm shooting for a 220. On the last practice exam I took (Yesterday) I got a 218.

So help me out. I'd like to get National Merit, and I want this to look good, as I'm shooting for high calibre universites.

Thanks ATOT.
 
I switched schools and moved states, at my old school it was freshman optional, junior and sophmore year required. So, I took it freshman and sophmore year there. Now I'm a junior and am taking it here.

There's a national merit competition, but other than that it's not that critical.

When it's SAT time, I'm going to be ballistic.

218 should be good enough to qualify.

EDIT: Depending on your state.

Yes, it's the state part. I'm in virginia, and apparently it's tough to get in here.

I'm very drug-sensitive... even like, a coke makes me feel disguisting, and coffee makes me throw up, especially now that I've got a nasty virus.

Do you have over-protective parents by any chance?

Just relax and take it.

$12 isn't too bad. My parent will pay it as long as it related to my education. Plus, Ive heard simply repeating the experience will help your later scores.

I actually got a list of words that commonly appear on the test and studied it for a few days before, and it helped me a lot. I was a national merit scholar finalist.

Then you are a poser. SAT's are supposed to be a measure of what you know, not what you can cram. I realize that "everyone" studies and crams, whatever. I am sure with enough practice and Kaplan courses and books, anyone can score 1600, but that would be lying to yourself and others. I have no problem with cramming or studying for nearly any other test, but the SAT's, I think, should be taken honestly.

Knowing Latin (or even Spanish/French) can help. Especially when you only need to recognize the root of the word to find its meaning.
