<p>Pre-test: </p>
<p>What grade are you in? Freshman? Sophomore? Junior?</p>
<p>What's your goal? National Merit Commended Scholar? Semi-finalist? Finalist?</p>
<p>How are you preparing? </p>
<p>Did you know there are only 39 days left until the PSAT?!?!</p>
<p>--</p>
<p>I'll start:</p>
<p>Junior.</p>
<p>Going for semi-finalist/finalist recognition. </p>
<p>Practice, practice, practice. I'm also going to grade my practice tests correctly from here on out ... :o.</p>
<p>And yes, I know there isn't that much time left! OMG!</p>
<p>Sophomore.</p>
<p>Aiming for a 180+ (and hopefully 220+ by junior year)</p>
<p>Or at least higher then a 170+.</p>
<p>Aiming for 240, or atleast 235+. Anything else and I probably won’t get into Harvard.</p>
<p>Sophomore</p>
<p>Got a 178 with no prep last year, aiming for a 205, 210+ </p>
<p>prepped a whole lot this summer, hope it pays off</p>

<p>practice and prep.

<p>^I can’t wait for the day when the College Board decides to add another section to the SAT and make it out of 3200 points :).</p>

<p>That’s very likely, considering that the ACT has a science section.</p>

<p>ACT science is basically the reading portion of the math section. </p>
<p>@SheepGetKilled: Not sure if srs…</p>
<p>Good luck to everyone! I’m a senior, so I won’t take it this year. I went from 190 sophomore year to 209 junior year with no prep at all, so if y’all do some preparation you should do fine. :)</p>
<p>Junior. 240. All PSAT studying will be indirect through SAT studying. No.</p>

<p>Junior
<p>Barron 3200
<p>:D</p>
<p>Junior.</p>
<p>Commended or Semi-finalist (220+). But that probably won’t happen, I haven’t prepped enough. I got a 190 last year as a sophomore with no prep though.</p>
<p>VOCAB, VOCAB, VOCAB like nobody’s business, and reviewing grammar. Math is a lost cause :/</p>
no point in holding myself back from doing my best or trying to get higher than I can if I do get my best, so…</p>
…lol jk</p>
