<p>thanks patwu. =]</p>
<p>I went from about a 160 index for PSAT to a 2210 on my SATI.</p>
<p>wow.. robotfood. thanks. that's definitely very nice to know what people are capable of. i'll try my best to follow your footsteps ^^</p>
<p>The index is just an estimate of your skills at a point in time. It's definately possible to imrpove your scores, just practice with the right materials.</p>
<p>i just need to know quickly.
i want to apply to BU..but the thing is that i need to take two SAT II's.
do they offer SAT II lit/us history in june? and also, can i just take one SAT II in june and the other one in october/november?
i would apply regular decision obviously, not early..it gives me enough time to apply and get my scores back at the same time right?</p>
<p>plus, how hard is the SAT II Lit and the SAT II US History? what prep books should i buy and is a month and half enough time to prep for history and a whole summer to prep for SAT II lit?</p>
<p>hey thanks to you all whom respond!</p>
<p>of course not...sophomore year, i got a 163 and i thought i was screwed. junior year (without studying or anything), i got a 213. it definitely does not indicate anything (besides the fact that u may need some practice). but you are not screwed over.</p>
<p>Also, dont' stress over scores so much.</p>
<p>The score I sent to most of my colleges was 2090--and I got into every school except waitlisted at Stanford and Princeton--and I don't think it was cause of my scores.</p>
<p>Thanks guys.
ivyracer: definitely nice to know that 163 can go to a 213. Very nice improvement. I hope i can do that well too, i've been studying a lot and taking courses and stuff. Hopefully sophomore year has taught me enough for the next PSAT and the SAT's =/</p>
<p>robotFOOD: haha i'll try to. thanks. good job on getting into colleges. i really want to get a 2100+ =/ it'll be tough maybe lol. it'd be nice to get 2200 to be safe for colleges i want i hear. </p>
<p>to all: yeah. i got a bit worried.. cuz people here are like "oh man 191. i know.terrible terrible score."
whereas: mine is a 155 >_>...</p>
<p>To bijoux7: I think that 1 month and a half is definitely enough to prep for US History. I haven't taken it myself, but from what I hear, it's not anything insanely hard. SAT II Literature is definitely possible to prep with a whole summer. I'm not saying any of this from personal experience, but I'm guessing that if SAT's are preppable in a few months, an SAT II subject should be too. Just make sure you stay on focus and study, not screwing around. =] best of luck.</p>
<p>bump bump bump</p>
<p>hey thank you protege! i just want to make sure i'll get all my scores for SAT and SAT II when I apply regular decision for BU.</p>
<p>good luck bijoux7 =]. any other PSAT comments?</p>
<p>you can definately improve your score with studying...i know you are more concerned about your SAT but i got a 170 on my psat the first time and a 212 the next year</p>
<p>im definitely more concern with my SAT that SAT II's. actually, im kind of worried..it's april vaycay for me right now, do you have any suggestions how i should schedule each day with the SAT studying without overwhelming myself?</p>
<p>bijoux7: i'd have to say.. get some word smart, grammar smart, or math smart books, or maybe one of those big SAT books and start practicing them about.. one hour - 2 a day. and then spend the rest of time relaxing. Jus tmake sure you keep yourself on schedule. and you should be good with SAT's and relaxing. too</p>
<p>what do you mean by 155 index? is that the same as the score or is the index something else??</p>
<p>155 index = score of 155. sorry didn't make it clear. =/</p>
<p>I got a 164 PSAT index(I'm a Junior)..but I felt that I completely bombed the SAT on Apr. 1
I think for the index, you should just add a zero to the end..to make it look like an SAT score, for example my 164 = 1640..yeah, something like that...but for sophomore year, your index is pretty good protege, b/c mine was definitely a 144.</p>
<p>Thanks BigLA. I hope i do better though haha. I just took a Practice Real SAT (they get an old copy of the SAT and make you do it) I hope i do alright. I got a 1710 the last time on a practice. =/ hope by junior year i get better. =/</p>
<p>dont think u can do it....basically every normal kid in my grade got that a 150ish.......the kids who are gunna get the 2100+ are already pretty obvious :) i got a 204</p>
