<p>It doesn’t really matter. No colleges really care about the PSAT unless you become a NMSF or NMS. They’re not going to judge you.</p>
<p>I don’t think they see your actual score. It’s more like lists of people that scored within a range. Colleges buy the lists they need.</p>
<p>…so I don’t want to but I have to now take the PSAT as a sophomore. Ridiculous hogwash; what a waste of 2 hrs of my life, when I could be sleeping. </p>
<p>I’m really not going to try much, since it doesn’t matter what I do anyways, and even if it did I cannot see myself trying on a test on a saturday morning that goes on for 2 hrs.</p>
<p>I’m a sophomore too, but I am looking forward to it. I am already looking forward to finding out my score to see what my strengths and weaknesses are. The PSAT is a lot better than going to class in my opinion.</p>
<p>It’s a way of checking out your competition on equal grounds. If you are not competitive, then there is always CC (community college, that is).</p>
<p>If you’re going to bomb it, why take it? </p>
<p>For me bombing it means not trying at all… if you do try, it’s good practice for the SAT. Although its not a good indicator for future scores… lol. I barely made commended on the PSAT. If I got the score I did on the SAT for the PSAT, I’d have qualified in California for the Finalist…</p>
<p>Long story, but I have to take it. Yeah, if I might as well take it, I guess I should try.</p>
<p>My english teacher made us look at a few sample questions from each test, the math/writing looks fairly easy/straightforward (by this I mean I’ll do decent, not extraordinary) but vocab/reading…LOL epic fail since I don’t read and I can’t concentrate on a passage that long; I’ll probably fall asleep. Also my vocabulary is quite not that good.</p>
<p>It doesn’t count for anything, so I’ve heard..</p>
<p>If you do check the box or whatever to receive mail from colleges, how long does it usually take for them to start coming in?</p>
<p>a NMS is 224+ in my state :P</p>
<p>Last year they started sending stuff around february.</p>
<p>what if i’m NMSF but don’t have room to put i on commonapp
should i find a way to add the info anyways</p>
<p>I’m sure there is some room in there to put it down (honors/awards?). In any case the NM people will be sending you a form asking you to name a first choice college to send that info to.</p>
<p>I thought that this didn’t really matter and was just for money. I’m not one of those privileged kids with a parent in one of those listed corporations. So I get a max of 2500?</p>
<p>The son of a Ford dealership mechanic (elegible for a corporate sponsonship) wouldn’t be one of those “privileged kids” you are talking about, would he? Unless you consider having a job a privilege. And, no, it can be a lot more than $2.5k
If you want to start learning what’s available to NM Finalists look at what University of Alabama offers.</p>
<p>
i’ve filled up my awards/honors section</p>
<p>anyone know when you’re supposed to get the scores?</p>
<p>…soon…(actually, not soon enough).</p>
<p>Most schools share the scores in December, some schools do in early January.</p>
<p>ana ivanovic!!! – Additional Information section?</p>
<p>I strongly disagree- check that box!!! ive had a lot of desirable information my way, and my standards are just as high as anyone else’s here…</p>
