<p>I hate PSAT. 10 questions wrong, you can kiss Merit Scholarship good bye. What a joke???? The scholarship is based on English and Math scores from PSAT exam? How about Science? Which century we live in? Some one has to wake up and realize this is nonsense.</p>
<p>lol @ ■■■■■</p>
<p>DUDE GET OVER IT!!! I HATE THE PSAT TOO!!!<br>
Cuz i can’t get a ****in 221+ but i have a long way to go…considering the fact that i’ve never checked my answers on practice tests. lol</p>
<p>Do you have a better suggestion?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>The test is supposed to be an aptitude test, not a knowledge test, so putting science on there is not appropriate. It should have minimal knowledge requirement (i.e. a clever person with a bad education should, in theory, be able to do well). </p>
<p>And the idea is that the PSAT is supposed to select about the top ~1% in any given state. If the test were harder, then you would probably still maintain your relative rank among the test takers (say by getting 15 wrong).</p>
<p>Stop whining and just prepare the best you can. I wanted to be a national merit scholar so I prepared the best I could, took the exam, and got NMSF. </p>
<p>If you’re not a national merit scholar, it’s not the end of the world. I had a 228 on my PSAT, 2350 SAT and go to University of Vermont (got into a few top 30 schools, but being NM led me to take schools up on their merit offers since i’m poor). Our two co-valedictorians each had 208 and are each now at Yale and BU (the one at BU got into Columbia and Cornell). They did this by preparing more, getting 2280 and 2300, respectively. </p>
<p>So PSAT isn’t that important and if you’re aiming to go to a top shcool, National Merit means squat.</p>
