Princeton's Cracking the Psat/Sat Scores!

Test Preparation SAT Preparation

<p>Okay, on the real PSAT I took as a 10th grader I got 67M, 48CR, 52W. Now I took Princeton's Cracking the PSAT practice test 2011 #2, and got 61M, 60CR, 50W. Its pretty crazy how CR went up but I dont like how math went down. Colleges dont look at Writing, right? Is this a good score, will they be like this on the SAT?</p>

<p>It depends on the college.</p>

<p>Take the numbers from the PR book with a grain of salt. The numbers from the book are inflated rather badly.</p>

<p>What does the 2nd thing you said mean?</p>

<p>It means that the PR tests are easier than the real ones, I am not sure if this is true because I have never used PR, but that is what Ice means by inflated. Oh, and all practice tests beside the official ones aren’t too helpful anyways.</p>

<p>^The curves are out of wack. You can miss multiple math questions and get an 80 in PR. Given the difficulty of the problems, this gives you, at best, a very optimistic representation of your actual performance on the PSAT.</p>

<p>I don’t think the PR inflates scores. I took the practice test in the PR 2 weeks ago and i scored 2140, i used the bb this week and i got a 2330. I think the PR is actually more difficult, but maybe that’s just for the SAT.</p>

<p>LOL, I actually think PR is a pretty good indicator. When I took the PR test, I got a 2020. But when I took a collegeboard test I got a 1980.</p>

<p>But PR <em>SUCKS</em></p>

<p>PR is AWESOME for Writing… imho I raised my score 220+ points in that. :D</p>

<p>The thing was… I did each writing section (timed) and after that I went over EVERY single WRONG answer.</p>
