I’ve taken the ACT twice, had little preparation the first time and took it cold the second; I got 33 on both. On the PSAT this year (I’m a junior) I got a 226. Anybody have an idea of what my SAT score will be? I took it cold yesterday.. I probably should have prepared a bit. :-/ Oops. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

my parents want me to take the PSAT to prepare myself for the SAT. i argue that ive been taking standardized tests like this since middle school. are they similar enough that i dont need extra preparation for the SAT.

I got a 1700 on my psat with no preperation and not much effort when I actually took the test. I am a sophomore now and I’m taking my SAT’s next year. If I take SAT prep courses twice a week and do some practice tests, what do you think my SAT score will most likely be if I take it 2 or 3 times?

I am a junior in high school this year. I have a 3.94 GPA and a 4.0 GPA sophomore year. I got a 32 on my ACT as a sophomore and plan on taking the test at least once more this year. Last year I got a 206 on my PSAT and plan on taking the test again this year to try to become a National Merit Scholar. I play tennis for the school team and am in FBLA. I am also in RSVP which is a student group that aims to make the voices of the students heard. This year I am going to be tutoring both highschoolers and gradeschoolers. The only problem is that I have no idea what I want to do when I get older and therefore am not sure which college I should attend.

Could you please let me know any good science or engineering schools that I would be able to get into and give me some information regarding them?

Any help would be very much appreciated. Thank you.
I am also scheduled to have taken 5 ap classes by the end of this year and have taken the honors version of every class that i have taken.

I am planning to take the spring SAT my first time my junior year in the spring. My math in junior year is the normal avergae Algebra 2. This is because I am in normal math and will not be able to take the SAT in ocotber due to my incapability to complete Algebra 2 questions.

Should I take the courses in summer tho since it will help in my PSAT and future SAT?

Im going into 9th and im starting to worry about this stuff…my parents were born in india and are no help cuz they have less clue then i do on how this stuff works?! I have figured out a lot by looking at other ppl who asked questions but i still have some…
1) What are the best books to study for the SAT I …if i want to be a neurologist which SAT II should i really take?
2) IF anyone has taken SAT prep courses at Kaplan or the such do u think it helped any? is it worth it?
3) Are there any free sites i can practice on?
4) If i take the PSAT in 9th grade and completely suck, then will colleges ignore me? is it better to not take it…or is it truly only practice and helps out on the REAL PSAT?
5) Anything else that u think is important to know?

plz help me out..i really have no1 to ask and well..i havent met my Counsler for highskool yet but if the middle skool ones were anything to go by they wont help, to racist…

I already have the Peterson’s online SAT course, but I’ll soon be taking the PSAT. Do I need another online course for the PSAT or is everything that I need to know already on my SAT course?

Are the Princeton Review SAT practice test generally harder than the Sat and other prep books?
I took the Barron’s 2400 practice test and I got a score in the range of 1450-1520. I got a 1580 on the PSAT. I took the PR sat practice test and I got a 1210!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!… I’m so annoyed. Now I really dont know where I stand in terms of SAT performance.

Is the writing really hard to do well on? At this SAT preparation course students, including my friend and I, took practice tests similar to the SAT, which I know because of taking tests from the blue College Board book and asking another friend who took the SAT and the same course when she was our age, about 2-3 years ago.

My friend got an 800 on writing, and I got a 740, but for some reason when she took the real SAT (I haven’t yet), she only scored a 600. What gives? She was really good at writing and did assignments for 25 minutes in 10 minutes, getting maybe 1 wrong. Also the person who is most likely gonig to be valedictorian at our school only got a 710.

Any tips? In the College Board book I’m scoring in the 700s, getting only maybe 4 wrong with. I think my essays are pretty good. I need a good writing score because math is the easiest for me, probably a pretty easy 770+, but critical reading I’m only getting mid to high 600s. I was counting on the writing, which is easy for me, to get me around 2150-2200, but people aren’t doing good on it. Why?? Advice???
Also, on the PSAT I got a 68 on writing (HOWEVER, only 3 were wrong and none blank; it must have been a bad curve, and after looking at the PSAT I realized one or two of those errors were really stupid mistakes).
I know I need a good score for good colleges. I don’t really need help with writing since I’m getting almost every question right under timed conditions. I just don’t get why such smart people are doing so poorly, including my friend who got an 800 on writing for a practice test similar to the SAT.

Ok so on the ACT test… if you get a question wrong… do they take away points like the PSAT?
