<p>Anybody do one of these? Worth spending a Saturday morning? Any idea how long it takes to get results back? I guess soon, or else they couldn't sell you any services!</p>
<p>definitely worth doing</p>
<p>i'm planning on doing it
and i'm not sure when results come! good question tho</p>
<p>I did one of these before my Junior year started. I got something horrible like a 1650 out of 2400. The test made me freak out, but when I took the SAT only a few months later I scored in the 2200s. I wouldn't go; in my opinion, it's just a moneymaking ploy.</p>
<p>Yeah, I'm thinking it will be really hard to scare you into thinking you need lots of prep. But they got another thing coming if they think they're going to get a dime out of me! I'm just looking at it as a good practice run one month before the real thing.</p>
<p>You could also buy real previous PSATs from store.collegeboard.com, and simply take them. Much cheaper ($3 each).</p>
<p>Yeah, it's worth doing because it's a proctored test so it helps you get used to taking it for real.</p>
<p>Fignewton, do the previous test for $3 come with the answer key? Thanks</p>
<p>^^^^ Apparently, you call for the answers and they'll e-mail them to you. Why they don't send them with is beyond me.</p>
<p>How much does everyone have to pay for the PSAT at their school? I understand private schools may not have to pay (my son did not) but my daughter is at the public high school and it will cost $26 cash to sign up.</p>
<p>Is that the rate everyone else is paying?</p>
<p>My son's school pays for it.</p>
<p>my school funded for it
i would say it's worth taking just for practice sake
but i do believe theyll make the test slightly harder to convince you that you need to take the class lol</p>
<p>@travelthrulife: you only get the test, no answers. Call or email <a href="mailto:store_help@collegeboard.com">store_help@collegeboard.com</a> and they'll send you the answers.</p>
<p>I'm tempted to post the answers here, haven't had the time yet.</p>
