<p>Um, I took the PSAT as a Sophomore, and I got a 199. I want to be able to get a 220 when I take it as a junior. Do you think this is possible? My math was a 73, CR: 62, WR: 64. When I went over the test, I found I did some silly mistakes. oh well. If I avoided them, I would have gotten a 206 or something.</p>
<p>you really didn't need to ask this question. </p>
<p>you answered it yourself: avoid stupid mistakes, maybe prep a little and you'll be fine.</p>
<p>Honestly, there's no such thing as "silly mistakes". A mistake is a mistake, if you make it on the real SAT it will count as wrong. So take practice tests to eliminate the problem.</p>
<p>ashwin, yeah it's totally possible. i got 197 as a sophomore, and raised it to a 232 as a junior. just take a lot of practice tests....and make sure you understand why you get stuff wrong/what strategies to use.</p>
<p>great job on math! you can easily raise your writing score if you get the blue college board book and just figure out how their questions work. i raised my cr with a lot of practice tests...as you read more passages and answer more questions, ultimately you figure out how the mind of college board works.</p>
