<p>^^^me too, though i got an 800 in the SAT Reasoning Writing part, how nerdy that is and English is not even my first language ; Familiarity with English= 1 year</p>
<p>HAPPY HOLIDAYS!</p>
<p>hey this isnt exactly related.</p>
<p>But how does MIT (and all top colleges) regard PSAT scores.</p>
<p>My scores will be visible to adcoms because my high school puts them on my transcript.
I did alot worse on my PSAT than my SAT, and my 10th grade was almost better than 11th grade (it was still 99th percentile but its a lot lower than any cutoff for most east cost states)</p>
<p>Will the adcoms just do what they did to a SAT I Writing score or 3rd SAT II score (like just ignore it), or will they take some account into it, like saying that my SAT was a fluke or somehting (considering that east coast has like amazing PSAT scores)</p>
<p>I think im just overthinking, but i just want to make sure.
Thanks</p>
<p>MIT won't consider your PSAT scores. They only consider the scores which make you look best anyway, so even if those were low SAT scores, they would only consider the highest set.</p>
<p>I love MIT.</p>
<p>My SAT Writing was 690. </p>
<p>Did I know how to write a SAT essay? I got a 11.</p>
<p>The 690 came from FIVE incorrect multiple choice questions. Geez. SAT Writing is BS.</p>
<p>oasis is right, my writing is terrible (or at least its not developed, iono, some ppl say its good) and i got a 10 on the essay. lmao. SAT writing is a joke. its just pure memorization of rules and no thinking. honestly, i think it'd make more sense if they just had just essays for the whole section and make them longer or something. but that'd probably be harder to grade and thus collegeboard would make less money, so it probably wont happen. XD</p>
<p>I despise SAT writing (and the SAT overall but writing even more so) as it is by no means a test of your ability to write persuasively or in any other form. You have to revert back to fifth grade writing styles to do at all well on the test. Attempt to write like an adult and you will quickly fail. I also hate that SAT makes time such a big factor with their writing test (you have 25 min I believe?) AP gives a good 35-40 minutes of time for the persuasive essay and actually appreciates the student writing above a 5th grade level.</p>
<p>If you have done well on the AP, or in an AP english class, I would find it hard to believe that that alone won't compensate for SAT writing.</p>
