PSAT Scores?

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>Well I scored a 1560 on the PSAT, 68th precentile, higher than anyone I know (except a kid who got in the 1700s). I forgot the numbers, but I'm higher than 90% of sophomores in Critical Reading, and 86% in Writing. In the math category, it's about 66%. </p>

<p>Thing is, I suck at math. It just doesn't make sense to me. I'm a pretty good testtaker, and I'm surprised I got even a 66%. But anyways, what are some things I can do to improve all those scores, hopefully getting into the 90th precentile next year when I take the real thing?</p>

<p>buy a PSAT book.
study it. </p>

<p>that's what worked for me, the shortcuts never work for me</p>

<p>I got a 234 only because I took a million practice SAT's. Not PSAT's, but SAT's. Working through the longer test so many times helped me gain SO MUCH mental stamina and a lot of the idea of what was on the test.</p>

<p>Trust me, take a bunch of SAT's.</p>

<p>practice makes perfect, seriously. Got a 230 after taking a bunch of tests</p>

<p>I agree with diamondbacker. Take SAT practice tests. If you're aiming to improve your mental stamina, don't just skip around. Take the entire practice test (minus the essay section) the same way you would if it were the real thing.</p>

<p>got a 221. i'm hoping i'll make semifinalist or finalist. Not much chance of finalist though !! </p>

<p>anyway, i did a bunch of SAT prep for the SAT and didn't bother to study for the PSAT. So did my bf, and he got a 234.</p>
