<p>207 => 218.</p>
<p>gosh. is it just me, or the curves this year are really mean?
i missed one math question and got 5 points taken off.
imagine... that one math question is the diff between 218 and 223. <em>sigh</em></p>
<p>from 191 sophomore year...
to 223 junior year! ;-)
32 points. by the time i took it, i was having dreams about being drowned in a pool of answer sheets.</p>
<p>when i found out, i collapsed in class. in front of everyone. they thought i was psycho.</p>
<p>i went up 11 points... 208-->219</p>
<p>I went up from 199 to 216. My CR changed the most..I think it's because I actually read the articles this time =P</p>
<p>The kid next to me was allegedly trying to look at my paper (other people observed it, and of course I believe them). But I don't think I can do anything about it now, especially since it didn't occur to me he might have been trying to cheat, even when he knocked our flimsy little divider-plank over toward the end of the writing section...</p>
<p>GA</p>
<p>The worst part about it is that i JUST made NY's cut off from last year... If it goes up even a point.....</p>
<p>I am pretty mad after getting my scores back today:</p>
<p>Sophomore year - 201
Junior year - 199</p>
<p>soph: 166
Thsi year: 212
46 points that's cool.. when i took it last year.. i didn't have a clue wat psat was..</p>
<p>Sophomore: 183</p>
<p>Junior: 227 (+44pts; I increased my reading from 51 to 79)</p>
<p>I don't know what to say, it's like a dream. As a nonnative english speaker, the SAT and PSAT represented an uphill battle for me.</p>
<p>lol i like ur username ^
and congratrs</p>
<p>I went up 20 points. 209 to 229. I went up 10 points in reading and 5 in writing and math.</p>
<p>Well, I didn't take it sophomore year but I did take a practice test 3 days before the actual PSAT and my score went up from 203 on the practice test to 219.</p>
<p>sophomore score: 71CR, 80M, 71W (222)
junior score: 73CR, 80M, 69W (222)</p>
<p>i didn't do any special test prep or anything, and i guess it shows.</p>
<p>does anyone think that might not make the finalist cutoff in California? i heard last year it was 219 and rising.</p>
<p>20 point overall increase after taking one practice test this year (no prep before the test sophomore year)</p>
<p>CR: 69 >> 74
M: 73 >> 80
W: 72 >> 80</p>
<p>SI: 214 >> 234</p>
<p>198 - 209 .... 11 points</p>
<p>211 last year, 232 this year.
Math 73-80
Reading 79-80
Writing 59-72</p>
<p>Some general SAT prep books over the summer, and the practice test included with the packet.</p>
<p>I feel I performed better this year because I knew there was more at stake, so I made sure to look over each answer carefully.</p>
<p>Im a sophomore, so I can't reply, but I know a junior that went down 14 points!</p>
<p>I'm of the opinion that most test takers experience a big jump at some point in high school. It doesn't necessarily come between the soph & jr PSATs though. It may even come after the jr PSAT on the SAT.</p>
<p>My son had a ~38 point jump soph to jr year on the PSAT; my daughter had a 31 point jump from frosh to soph year. No special prep in either case, just going to class and paying attention.</p>
<p>189 -> 219</p>
<p>30 points.</p>
<p><em>is angered at self</em>
Sophomore year: 225 (CR:80/M:76/W:69)
Junior year: 225 (CR:79/M:70/W:76)</p>
<p>I didn't do any studying, and I suppose it shows... However, I am a little creeped out by the complete switch in math and writing scores between the two years. Also, both years I missed just one question in reading, but I wound up with a lower score this year? <em>sigh</em> Curves like that are not fun.</p>
