<p>Hey. I am a new member, so I am not sure how to start a new post. But I just want to ask my questions as a reply to this post. Sorry about that… :P</p>
<p>Anyways, I am going to apply for the Senate Youth Program (USSYP). I just wanted to know whether any of you knew about the selection process. </p>
<p>Also, as for the PSAT this year (I am a junior), do any of you know the cut off score or is it like determined after the test is taken? I want to be National merit and I am pretty nervous about that… Only a few more days!!! </p>
<p>My scores have been ranging like this in my tests (I tried taking real CB tests):</p>
<p>CR: 66-70
MA: 76-80
WR: 73-80</p>
<p>I am pretty nervous b/c there have been tests where I have only hit my lows - which is 66+76+73 = 215. I have gone below these ranges like once or twice - when I don’t concentrate much and leave out really stupid mistakes. </p>
<p>I usually hit 80 in math, but there are these times when I don’t read properly and miss out on 4 points. I know they are crucial to me - for I want to break 220 to be on the safe side. </p>
<p>Also, has the scale for writing been more harsh in the previous years, b/c I have seen scores drop to 71 in 2 mistakes (as in the 2013 practice test). I did only miss 1 on that test, but I do make more mistakes than that, and I don’t want to be in the danger zone of not making national merit. </p>
<p>Thanks
