PSAT Takers 4 WEDNESDAY Oct 12

<p>Are you ready freddy?
Are you gonna smash that thing?
Beat that bad boy into the ground without lifting a finger>?
If you are, HOLLA right here in your official collegeconfidential thread, posted by your very own, sarorah ;)</p>

<p>woah sarorah...I haven't seen you in a long time...</p>

<p>Paul my man! (paul, right?) How's it been buddy .. I've actually been around .. just takin a break from the forum every now and then. Visiting friends more, going to football games .. i thought it might be a little more healthier if I didn't come on as much .. plus you're only a high schooler once and this forum isn't going anywhere .. so ya know, why not make the best of the people I get to see now instead of regretting it later? I mean i still love this forum to death but some on here even said to take a little time away from it, and i agree .. i guess in the end it's all about balancing your time :)</p>

<p>so you're takin this thing? verbal/writing is my doom :(</p>

<p>Yes I am...and Verbal is my doom and stupid mistakes for math are also.</p>

<p>psat is easy money guys. KILL IT</p>

<p>Now thats the attitude i wanna hear jackieBOY!
remember: confident, but not cocky ;)</p>

<p>I'm taking the PSAT also. Should be a easy. Dunno</p>

<p>Thank you PSAT takers: because of you, I get a day off on Wednesday.</p>

<p>haha im a senior, but nonetheless, PSAT = ez money. </p>

<p>No, but seriously, good luck guys.</p>

<p>I'm takin it tomorrow :)</p>

<p>taking it tommorow :gulp:</p>

<p>I'm so not ready!</p>

<p>After this summer, I've definately improved. I've had a lot of highs and a lot of lows but right now I am constant. Here is my average improvement:</p>

<p>LAST YEAR:
M: 570
V: 580
Wr:580</p>

<p>NOW:
M:640
V:640
Wr:700</p>

<p>And I might be able to make a bit higher if I have COMPLETE AND TOTAL CONCENTRATION. So, I'll be looking for some concentration tips tonight. There's no way I can be a national merit scholar <em>sigh</em> but atleast I can be a National Achievement finalist. Thank god I'm a negro! I will be able to get half tuition atleast!</p>

<p>After this, I will be studying ACT because I heard black people do much better on it. If I can make this okay score (in the 1900s) on SAT hopefully I can do better on ACT and I'll be so happy.</p>

<p>You know what sucks? My physics homework is still due tomorrow. <em>grumble</em></p>

<p>i only hope i dont make stupid mistakes, and get 80 in math, so that i might keep my dignity. lol</p>

<p>math rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>

<p>kids there's no need to freak out now, take it eazy tonight ;)
buene suerte a todos examiners! </p>

<p>I have a question:
Is the PSAT the same version for all Wed takers?
cuz we're taking the test in alphabetical order, so me and my bro (sophomore) sit next to each other. we're taking it in the cafeteria and there are 2 kids per table, which means he and I can do some serious "collaborating" if you know what i mean . . and I'm not saying I'm going to share answers but is it possible to do so? We filled out our answer sheets today and both of ours are the same, with section 1 critical reading 25 mins, etc . .</p>

<p>OH yeah I'm taking some chocolate tomorrow because we take it during 3 periods straight and I don't believe we get breaks (if anyone's taken it before, can they verify this?)</p>

<p>And I just got back from walmart and got my favorite, most comfortable lead pencil with new batteries for my calc :)</p>

<p>The thing is... my vocab is crap, and i might mess up on the math-.- but anyway, im feeling no fear or whatsoever, just playing my pacman game.. BRING IT ON</p>

<p>I'm just going to get a good night's sleep. I think any preparation at this point will be useless anyway. Btw, this is the second year in a row that the PSATs have coincided with my birthday. =/</p>

<p>I'm a little scared. I wish I had taken my summer prep more seriously! I never really concentrated so I don't have any clear consistent scores or accurate increase! :(</p>

<p>I just know last year I made a 190 and that was with complete concentration on Wr and a little less on Cr. I was feeling so loose and goofy. It was just... "take this test and you don't have to go to class!" So I can only be better, right? Especially when I stay focused the WHOLE time through? I can do it. I can do it. v_v </p>

<p>Calm down jaded...</p>

<p>Heh... I just really want to make sure I win that Nat'l Achievement thing. My goal used to be NMF, but since I didn't take things seriously, my standard has lowered significantly. And its a wonder I can even get through Sentence Completition. I know a large amount of the words and I don't even read. I guess having nerdy friends and IB does that to you...</p>

<p>PSAT dosent count against but that national merit always looks good to college. so why worry? just try to study hard for the ACT or SAT.</p>

<p>Hmmm I'm kinda flipping out b/c I'm right on the NMF borderline. I brought the blue book to school today and all the lame people at my school were like "haha look what he bought" and all my friends told me I was "freaking out" about the PSAT b/c i studied for it at all (haha like 1.5 days). My math and CR are both at 68, which is quite a bit lower than I'd like, fortunately my writing was 78. That scares me for apps later though b/c the colleges basically look at the CR/M and not the WR so much right? O well, I got to go get some sleep so I don't fall asleep during the test.</p>

<p>I took the SAT..last Sat. on the 8th....</p>

<p>And i'm taking the PSAT tom., is that weird or what?</p>

<p>I just need the scholarship REALLY BAD.....</p>

<p>To quote "The Emperor's New Groove" (it's a Disney movie, yea i know)</p>

<p><em>back to the waterfall</em>
"Uh-oh We're about to go over a huge waterfall aren't we?"</p>

<p>"YEP"</p>

<p>"Sharp rocks at the bottom?"</p>
