<p>My PSAT score was really low. My score was a 143 (I'm a sophmore)
CR: 49
Math: 51
WS: 43
I omitted 17 questions in total also. </p>
<p>I've never scored this low on any standardized test before, so I was very shocked. I really need to improve my scores so whats the best way to do so? For my SATs, I want to score around 2000/2100.<br>
I go to a highly competitive school (I'm taking honors/ap classes) and I have a unweighted 4.0, so my score and my grades do not correlate. </p>
<p>Please help! Has anyone else had a similar situation also? Thank you</p>
<p>I just posted the same thing for another guy a second ago, I think prepfactory.com (they’ve got free online videos) were a really good foundation for me, personally, and a few other folks on this site. Start there, you’ve got nothing to lose.</p>
<p>Just want to say that I got a 149 on the past, but a 2090 on the sat and a 34 on the act. The tests, at least how my friends and I found them, were really different. I would take the sat at the beginning of your junior year and see what you get before deciding to doing any prep classes. You don’t even have to send your first score, if you don’t like it, to the college you are applying to, but if you improve it, they like to see hat.</p>
<p>Hmm there are about 2 dozen official (College Board issued) SAT tests, so you should do all those. Beware though, I took the Wednesday PSAT this year and I thought the questions were dramatically easier than the ones on the SAT that I’ve seen so far.</p>
<p>A good starting point is to order the blue study guide from CollegeBoard and go through that. Everyone’s scores go up some between sophomore and junior year on the PSAT, but I agree that those are pretty low and you may want to study. For math preparation, there are also books by Gruber that are good for math prep.</p>
<p>Did you do any sort of prepping? If you did, what did you use? Thank you! (:</p>
<p>For me personally, the PSAT was much harder than the actual SAT. I remember my psat score was like a 180 but my sat score was a 2050. You still have time so to improve that score and maybe get merit from it, familiarize yourself with the types of questions they ask.</p>
<p>My dad got the blue college board book and literally any other sat prep book we could find in the lib. Over the summer before junior year, he literally made me and my sister do a section for each ( math, writing, and reading) everyday. In the end, we just went through all the problems in every book. It was horrible but if you’re dedicated, you can do it.</p>
