Sophomore PSAT (W) Results & ACT

Test Preparation
1

<p>Hi guys, I'll try to be as succinct as possible. I recently received both my ACT scores and my PSAT scores, and I can't really analyse them with my limited knowledge. I'm currently a sophomore and took both of these tests in Mid-October. On the ACT, I got a 26 in total with a perfect score on my essay. I forget the breakdown, but for those interested, I can verily PM you upon asking. My PSAT results came much later; actually, about a week ago. I got a total of 184 which is the 90th Percentile to Juniors. I received a 66 on Critical reading which was 97% higher than sophomores in the country and 98% higher in NY, where I live. I got a disappointingly low score on Mathematics, 54, though my passion for it really never developed until I began to do extra math and independent research in early November. It is 79% higher than sophomores in the country, and 82% higher than sophomores in NY. On my Writing Skills section, I got a 64 whose statistics paralleled precisely those of my Critical Reading scores. Naturally, I feel I've improved from 4 months ago, and I plan to commence my SAT study using my variation of Xiggi's Prep Advice, in around July. So feel free to make your comments and help further my understanding of these scores, and the importance of improvement etc. In lieu of any further confusion, my GPA, though unable to make much of a difference now, is around a 96 (and my school doesn't weigh). These are my EC's:</p>
