<p>I took a practice PSAT in December of 2011 and scored a 146 (CR: 47 M: 51 W:48). This was a school administered test by the CollegeBoard and I had about zero knowledge about the timing, scoring, and structure of the test. In other words I was fully unprepared for it.</p>
<p>A couple weeks before we took the test, they handed us a booklet with tips and strategies, as well as a practice test (I think it was the 2009 PSAT) to go with it. But I didn't use or do any of the material.</p>
<p>This summer, I started really studying for the SAT, I took that practice test that I ignored and scored a 180 (CR:65 M:55 W:60). Although it is a significant increase, I want to increase my score to a 210 for the fall PSAT. I plan on taking 2-3 practice tests a week to improve my score. I also intend to take the official SAT on October 6th before the PSAT to better prepare me for the PSAT which is on the 17th or 20th of that month. </p>
<p>Does anyone have any tips, strategies, resources or feedback to give me? I am willing to answer any questions you may have.</p>
