<p>I just figured out my PSAT score and it is a 179 (CR: 50, M: 70, W: 59).... something I was not expecting. I'm applying to a school that only has upper schoolers (11th & 12th) and is a math/science focus school. One of the things they look at is your test scores. I'm super nervous because now I feel like I did such a terrible job and I won't get accepted (51/130 students ea. yr) because my score is so low.</p>
<p>What were your scores (PSAT & SAT) sophomore year? How much did they improve the next year(s)?</p>
<p>Well let’s just say this… My PSAT Sophomore year was garbage (151), my first SAT was an 1810, but my most recent SAT was a 2050 and all I did was mature/do a few practice tests. I went from a 580 PSAT math to an 800 math as well, so if I can achieve that, you could definitely get an 800 if you really worked hard (although luck is slightly involved). I’m not aiming for a top school, but if I were, I would have studied a lot harder than I did.</p>
<p>And I wouldn’t worry, you have a great Math score for a sophomore (or any other grade for that matter). Good luck!</p>
