<p>has anyone seen a serious jump from their sophomore year psat score to their junior year score? did you prep a lot for it?
I got a 191 soph and I am hoping to be a semi-finalist this year. is that possible? I did do some prep over the summer, but have stopped once school started.
would love to hear your numbers and strategies.
thanks</p>

<p>i went from a 203 in soph to a 227 in junior. It can happen. Korean summer SAT day camps forced it to work, for less money. Bah.</p>

3

<p>I jumped 24 points (and got nmsf standing) as well.</p>

<p>I didn't study once.</p>

<p>thanks... bump</p>

<p>BTW, do you guys just walk into your school's guidance office and ask to sign up?</p>

<p>I'm worried, 'cause my school has it on the calendar, but they haven't made any announcements about it...</p>

<p>(my school automatically signs us up- it's part of the fees).</p>

7

<p>I just went to my GC and signed up. They also sent home a letter about the test asking for a check etc. Our deadline is Oct. 12.</p>

<p>Won't hurt to ask your school counselors :P</p>

<p>I just did that SAT Question of the Day thing. Seems to work well for some of my friends. Plus it's free!</p>

<p>oh boy, now I wish I did that, but those emails are piled inside my inbox with the oldest being last year's. oops.
Thanks. Maybe I'll actually do some of those now that I know they actually might help. :)</p>

<p>anyone else?</p>

<p>I didn't really study and my score jumped a lot. </p>

<p>Some people studied a ton and their scores didn't really change.</p>

<p>I guess it all depends on how you do on that one test.</p>

<p>I'd recommend just doing whatever feels right. If you feel prepared, then that's the best you can do.</p>

<p>btw, nice name!</p>
