<p>Well my PSAT was 74CR 74M 65W. My SAT just came back 680CR 710M 670W…</p>
<p>Did you do some practice tests before taking the SAT? Were you prepared for a 3.5 hr test? I recommend you do SAT practice tests over the summer , read a LOT, and take it again in the Fall. I recommend ordering the Collegeboard SAT book, instead of Barron’s or Princeton review , and try taking a practice test every 2 weeks.</p>
<p>I really don’t care about my SAT score except in the running for NMF… I live in an ACT area and my ACT totally trumps my SAT abilities. I’m just curious if what I got is enough for NMF, and if it is, I have no drive/reason to take the SAT again.</p>
<p>You are still pretty close to your PSAt score . I don’t think you need to retake it. Just my opinion though.</p>
<p>If I got 224 on the PSAT and 2200 is that close enough or do I need to try again for the SAT? I just got a 35 on the ACT, so I’m not sure I need to take the SAT again otherwise</p>
<p>mngirl, for the purposes of NMS, you are fine. 2200 is “confirmatory”. You will be a SF in MN (and probably any other state, too). If you fill out your paperwork and have good grades you will advance to Finalist easily. There’s a fair chance you’ll get money out of it, too (about 60% of the finalists get some money, most of these from the colleges to which they are admitted when that college sponsors a MM Finalist scholarship).</p>
<p>Congrats on the 35, BTW.</p>
