<p>hey guys just wondering.... i saw alot of top scores at my school all girls.... i think the highest i see are 222, 218 and 213 mine was 207... can any of us make national merit scholarships or wutever... i screwed up on the PSAT i jsut took the oct.9 sat I 2 days before and i was like eff this i'm too tired to take another freaking multiple choice piece of crap.... esp writing... i just got bored and bubbled random crap in....</p>
<p>I think Cali's cutoff was 216. Not sure 'bout this year.</p>
<p>You scored 207? Not bad for random bubbling.</p>
<p>uh dont lie to cover up what you consider a bad score or so you can feel on par or better than your peers.</p>
<p>Seriously... that's just silly.</p>
<p>kind of sad when someone who randomly bubbles can get a higher score than someone who actually read all the questions thoroughly like myself</p>
<p>well what i mean to say is... i didn't have any idea what would be on the writing section.... and some of the questions i couldn't really figure out what was the error... etc.. cuz i took the old SATI so i had some idea on verbal and math... but writing was totally new... so on the hard questions i just guessed... thats why i got 92 percentile.... i got 67 reading which i was proud of... since i only got 620 on the old SAT ... but ugghhh.... 73 on math... 800 on real SATI.... i just made dumb mistake... didn't double check etc... and writing i get 67... i feel stupid for not reading the PSAT booklet... cuz i think i coulda done better thats all i'm saying... i regret getting the low score... and not prepping but i was so sick of the whole SAT multiple choice crap thats all i'm saying.... </p>
<p>i don't really need to prove myself to my peers or crap like that... we are all individuals a multiple choice test doesn't really decide intelligence... although they are smart.... i'm just saying I SHOULD have done better but was stupid as hell and threw away my NMSQ or whatever its called by not reading the writing prep booklet seeing wut the questions were like...etc<br>
btw anyone else notice the highest scores are girls is this cus the new test has 2 writing / reading sections.... i noticed the only people that score higher were girls... maybe they concentrated better or maybe all the guys at mys chool are stupid or all the girls are just hella smart? cuz i know like 4 girls beat me... but the highest score another guy got was like 189 (3 others got this) and i got 207... those are alll helllaa low....</p>
<p>yup looks like i was right. you go from saying you randomly selected answers to guessing. Also you say:
"i don't really need to prove myself to my peers or crap like that... we are all individuals a multiple choice test doesn't really decide intelligence"</p>
<p>"btw anyone else notice the highest scores are girls is this cus the new test has 2 writing / reading sections.... i noticed the only people that score higher were girls... maybe they concentrated better or maybe all the guys at mys chool are stupid or all the girls are just hella smart? cuz i know like 4 girls beat me... but the highest score another guy got was like 189 (3 others got this) and i got 207... those are alll helllaa low...."</p>
<p>lets play spot the contradiction!
doesnt matter what you say. Its easy to read the implications. you arent really better than people until you prove it, so just prep instead of moan about your score.</p>
<p>you'd make a good psychologist... not a good therapist tho lol... ne ways yeah i suck but i was hoping better but hey... it motivates me... i gotta vent somewhere and where better than a random forum where no one gives a crap about u and u don't give a crap abou them.... </p>
<p>i will prep and get 2300 hopefully thats my goal ... i'm not implying i did worse because i'm male but seriously i find that odd....</p>
<p>btw can we get back to the subject of what the psat cutoff was last year instead of my self deceiving angst surpressing emotions ... i think its called coping mechanisms or some crap like that...i didn't try very hard is all i'm saying... it makes me feel better about myself.... and makes me feel less stupid... i thought this crap was just practice i shoulda known there was this stupid award....</p>
<p>hey its ok i got a 214 but i feel stupid cuz its like the same as a 202 because both are commended and neither are semifinalist. But such is the way with all cutoffs, there is always someone who is right below it.
BTW its merely reading in a perceptive manner. Dont take things at face value. psychology not my strong suit. maybe bs detection is though.
I think the cutoff is 216 +or - 1 or 2.</p>
