Are these PSAT/PLAN scores good? Also, post your info.

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>I am currently a 10th grader in high school. I have a 4.0 GPA, taking fairly advance classes, and I am a varsity wrestler. I received a 183 combined score on the PSAT, with a 68 in reading, 64 in math, and 51 in english. On the PLAN (PACT) I received a composite score of 27 with a 30 on math and reading, 24 on english, and 25 in science. Do these scores mean anything, are they good, and what colleges do students with these scores typically go to?</p>

<p>It depends. </p>

<p>And PSAT means nothing, does not really have much to do with intelligence. Your scores are fine though.</p>

<p>I'm a soph too, kinda um, bs'd the reading section (got too lazy), tried on the math part:</p>

<p>205, 80 Math, 70 Writing, 55 Reading.</p>

<p>Yeah, i messed up on english but I am taking a language usage and grammar course at my school next year to help improve those scores. My math scores should go up as I learn new information in more advanced clases, and I will concentrate more during the reading</p>

<p>Goodness is relative</p>

<p>You multiply by 10 to get the supposedly equivalent SAT grade. 1830 is in the range of a lot of schools. </p>

<p>I don't think sophomore PSAT does anything for you. That kind of sucks for me, since I got 222 in 10th grade and 212 in 11th, though I did get an 80 reading in 11th. </p>

<p>Reading is easy for me, I'm pretty intuitive at vocab. The math section is consistently my worst even though it's my best subject, I don't know a lot of the statistics and probability stuff.I don't like the writing, because I never feel really certain with the "which section is wrong" questions. It dropped my second time. I'm worried about the essay for the real SAT, since I didn't do all that great on the state writing test.</p>

<p>I find the books that focus more on drills to be better. I really don't like the Rocket one, the math strategies kind of suck.</p>

<p>A high enough PSAT score in junior year opens up the National Merit scholarship stuff. Looking at some information on the internet, I think I missed it by 3 points.</p>
