@solaireofastora You will definitely get above 2000. You might get 2200 if the curves are good. I’m guessing 2150
4 wrong on WR estimate score?
@solaireofastora then lets call it a 740 ± 10 pts
@TheSATsSuck I sure hope so [-O< thanks
2200 would be amazing for me haha, I probably wouldn’t take it a second time in that case
@SimpleBio what essay score do you predict for yourself?
Do you guys think my thesis was unfocused if I said that: “Remaining loyal to an individual of higher power digresses one from the right path” or something among those lines where i continued to elaborate how it prevents people from coming up with new ideas etc. Ex: watergate, geocentric model, anthem. Filled both pages completely.
I think I scored 10-12
I got a 169 on my PSAT when I took it sophomore year, is that decent? I think I improved my skills since then though
filling up both pages is a pretty decent indicator of AT LEAST an 8 unless you utterly bs’ed or are a really awful writer which you certain don’t sound like.
What colleges are you guys looking in to?
@SimpleBio I don’t think its off topic, I wrote something similar but the opposite argument about how staying loyal allows one to focus on a single thing and put all their effort into one project
@redrabbit23 thank God haha
@SimpleBio 12 essay: 770 10 essay: 740
Idk don’t take my word
@SimpleBio I used Anthem too!! I think it’s good that you had varied examples and your thesis seems concise. If you used good vocab/mechanics then you probably got a 9 or above…
@TheSATsSuck
Rutgers, TCNJ cuz I want to stay close to home and in state for it to be cheaper, and I can’t get into Princeton
Ill probably apply to some out of stat schools that I really like though like UVA and BC as reaches, as well as UVermont and Hunter College as non-reaches
@SimpleBio Dude i think you’re fine and you know it… Your essay sounds good
oh I didnt use much complex vocab on my essay : /
how much of a hit is that
@simplebio I think mine might’ve been a little off-topic too- I talked about how quotas on auto plants have caused them to sacrifice quality to please their parent companies, then I made something up about how I don’t tell my parents when they use poor directions because they don’t like to be proven wrong, and then I talked about how Brutus’s character in Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar went from Caesar’s best friend to plotting to kill him because he was becoming too autocratic
I think more “complex” vocab for essays lends itself to stronger first impressions which is pretty important in the frame of how SAT essay graders grade the essay, but as long as your main idea is consistently identifiable throughout your essay don’t stress too much about vocab.
@redrabbit23 thats pretty reassuring, thanks
