The Official 2011 PSAT Discussion

<p>Junior, got a measly 193 with no prep or calculator. Getting 2050~ on my practice SATs.
Texas cutoff is 215. I think I have a shot. Maybe. Looking to be a finalist.</p>

<p>My cousin got it lucky. She lives in Arizona and it’s cutoff is 210 or something D:</p>

<p>I’m a junior. I took it last year with no study/prep or anything and got a 187. I think this year if I apply myself I can get 200+.</p>

<p>At my school, my 187 was the highest of anyone I’d asked -.-</p>

<p>Junior.
Goal: 200+</p>

<p>Junior
220+ @_@/(Semi)finalist, if posssible :expressionless:
CB practice tests and the like</p>

<p>Junior here. Last time I got a 198 (so clooose). I did a mediocre job in math–79th percentile. If only I’d prepared more!</p>

<p>My goal this year is to do better in math and reach the 220s. New Jersey’s cutoff is around there.</p>

<p>Wow! Good luck to EVERYONE NOT IN MY STATE :)! JUST KIDDING :p.</p>

<p>218, 216… SCREW GETTING ONE WRONG IN MATH AND LOSING 4 POINTS.</p>

<p>oh and ***** the crit sections as well</p>

<p>I’m a sophomore aiming to beat 210 to make my best friend who got a 199 freshmen year mad.</p>

<p>hahaha wow, so mature.^ </p>

<p>XDD</p>

<p>@Steel:</p>

<p>That’s the spirit! :D</p>

<p>Sophomore.</p>

<p>Aiming for a 200+!</p>

<p>Studying from the Blue Book… prep prep prep! And VOCAB.</p>

<p>Now it’s less than a month away…</p>

<p>Juinor :D</p>

<p>Im hoping for semifinalist :)…i got a 203 sophmore year with no prep…so i want to score 215ish this year. </p>

<p>And ive been doing a bunch of practice tests…and a lot of vocab :)</p>

<p>I hope everyone does well…and reaches their goals :)</p>

<p>Any explanations for the writing and CR sections? Or should we start here… ;)</p>

<p>Junior
got a 213 last year. hoping to be a semifinalist//finalist?. I don’t know. I’m scared the vocabulary and silly mistakes are going to stop that from happening. Especially since I think I just got really really lucky last year :(</p>

<p>If you get semi finalist is there a separate score you have to get to be a finalist?</p>

<p>Junior, I got a 192 as a sophomore, but that was artificially low b/c of my math score (I was hellllla lazy before sophomore year and didn’t have a firm grasp of math, at all).</p>

<p>I’ve been getting 236-240’s on practice tests so I’m feeling pretty pumped. I’d be massively disappointed if I didn’t make at least Semifinalist. Wednesday can’t get here fast enough.</p>

<p>sophomore! not really aiming for anything, took two practice tests and got a 191 and a 177 >_< as long as I’m coasting in the 220’s by junior year, I’ll be fine</p>

<p>So, how’s everyone prepping for these last days? I feel like the PSAT is a time bomb…</p>

<p>I did the official practice test for 2010, for 2011, and the PR practice tests. Where can I get more practice tests online???
Also, in these last few days, what are the best ways to prep, especially with vocab!</p>

<p>Sophomore</p>

<p>Taking it on Wednesday, and just took my pretest.</p>

<p>Got a 190 without studying a few minutes ago. Probably should have broken 200 but CR killed me. Aiming for 200+ this year, and preferably NMSF next year (216+ in PA :frowning: )</p>
