SAT/PSAT

***Ben*** · 12-26-2002, 01:17 AM

Anyone else taking these tests?

I finally got my PSAT scores back this month:

Verbal: 80
Math: 78
Writing: 80

Each section score is out of 80... needless to say I'm pleased

. Looks like that Princeton Review SAT prep over the summer was worth it.

I take the real SAT next month.

Yeah, I took the PSAT. I don't quite remember what I made on it because that's been a while ago. Is that the test that qualifies you for the National Merit Award?

I took the PSAT back in '84, and the SAT in '85 and '86.

I took PSATs this year, as a sophomore. So I don't qualify for any scholarships yet...I don't remember my exact scores, but my percentiles were-

Verbal- 99th

Math- 76th (I haven't taken geometry yet...so I was pretty much stuck for ALOT of the questions.)

Writing skills-93rd.

Needless to say, they aren't as good as I want them to be by next year. But I'm taking geometry in the spring...I'll have finished Alegebra 2 by then as well. I think I'll be okay when it really counts. (This was just practice!)

Thank God I live in Canada-no SATs needed.

Of course my poor neighbor who's in Princeton had suffer through them (not that he suffered).

Princeton University in New Jersey? If so then he's just down the street from me. That's pretty cool.

Any - good luck Ben on the SATs when you take them. I hate tests - so I hated the SATs,

Not as good as Ben's, but I'm still happy with PSATs:

Verbal: 70
Math: 69
Writing Skills: not relevent

So that's a 1390...so close to 1400

I too take the SATs in January.

I took the PSATS too (im a freshmen - ben and greg are juniors). You take the PSATs as a fresmen if you are in honors math or english. I'm in honors all but math - so I took it but my math was pretty low.

I got a combined score of 1090 which is not bad for a freshmen - higher than a few of my peers and higher on the writing section then almost all other freshmen I compared scores with.
I did a lot better than sophmores in level 1 (all sopmores take it). Some didn't break 1000.

I met the requirements to stay in honors english and then some. Some of my peers did not. Ha HA
