Horrible PSAT Score

Test Preparation SAT Preparation
1

<p>I'm currently a sophomore and took the PSAT today. Totally bombed it. Freshman year I took it and had a horrible score, 139. This time I was saying to myself that I must study. Didn't happen. I really had a long thought and decided to put my maximum effort into studying for next year's PSAT. To express my willingness, I'm planning to rip out all of my Youtube'ing time (which is 1-2hrs on weekdays, 4-5hrs on Saturday, and max 10+hrs on Sunday). Yeah, I really go on Youtube quite often and long too. Haha, back to the topic. </p>

<p>For freshman year I got 41 on both CR and W. Barely got a 57 on Math. Our school gave out little review packets and I got every single on of the Writing questions wrong, that is not just bad, but pure stupid. So to mend it, (couldn't mend it in my soph PSAT because I didn't study at all) I will put my utmost effort into studying for my junior PSAT. </p>

<p>I went ahead and bought Kaplan's SAT review book 2012, does this book actually help? Please recommend any books that might be useful into boosting SAT scores. Thanks a lot.</p>

<p>P.S. As I'm typing this I think my grammar errors can fully show how bad my writing is. If anyone is willing to spare a teenzie bit of time to correct my thread, I will be delighted.</p>

<p>I have to say your score is much better. </p>

<p>I took the test last year, and the score was 138, 38 on CR, 37 on WS, and 68 on Math.</p>

<p>You now see that I’m good at math but suck at English. = = </p>

<p>There is a book on college board with blue cover, really useful. </p>

<p>And the Princeton review is good too!</p>

<p>Wish you goo luck on the test this year~ I think I did much better than last year ^_^</p>

<p>@yutingjin Both of our weak spots are CR and W. I guess we just have to memorize our a** off. Haha, thanks for your recommendation.</p>

<p>@mak1702 I’ve heard alot about the BB is the best one since it was made from the makers of the test. Totally gonna buy that. Might try the Barron’s SAT 2400. Thanks also.</p>

<p>@glittervine Your 228 makes me jelly. haha I hope I will just increase my points, but if I’m able to dash my way in the 200 range, I’d be kissing the book.</p>

<p>Thanks for all you guys’ recommendations.</p>
