-----PSAT-----
Have you taken a PSAT? Yep!
How many times have you taken it? Once
What year(s) of high school did you take it in? Junior year
What scores did you get? (please specify the order if you've taken it multiple times) 201 (74 M, 67 CR, 60 W)
Specify notorious changes that hindered or improved the score, if you've taken it multiple times.
-----SAT-----
Have you taken an SAT? Yes.
How many times? Once
What year(s) of high school did you take it in? Junior year
What were the scores? (specify order) 2250 (800 M, 730 CR, 720 W)
Specify notorious changes that hindered or improved the score, if you've taken it multiple times. Include changes in routine from PSAT to SAT if it applies. Well I didn't really study for the PSAT much; I took it more as a practice for the SAT to see where I stood. The SAT I worked my ass off, though.
-----ACT-----
Have you taken an ACT? Nope.
-----TOEFL-----
Have you taken a TOEFL? Nope.
----------
Have you taken Practice tests for Standardized Tests? Have these scores been an accurate measure of your performance on the real test? For the PSAT I took one practice test, and I think I got the same exact score I got on the actual thing. For the SAT, my average score was 2100-2150, so I got +100/150 points from the practice tests.
Are you satisfied with your Standardized Test scores? If not specify what your objective is/was. Absolutely for the SAT. With the PSAT, I wish I studied a bit more so I could get Semifinalist/Finalist, but I got Commended anyway, so that's something.

I did a lot for the PSAT and for the ACT, and they were all pretty accurate. I made three 35s on ACT practice tests I took, and a 204 on a PSAT practice test the night before I took it sophomore year.
Are you satisfied with your Standardized Test scores? If not specify what your objective is/was. Yes, except for the sophomore year PSAT. I think that my junior year score will qualify me for National Merit, so if it does, I'll be happy.

Depends. The ones I took from CB/ACT were. But Princeton/Barrons/etc. were not at all.

Yeah I'm satisfied. I'd try for better (namely a 36) but I hate waking up on Saturdays. And it's good enough, so like w.e. idrc.

Have you taken Practice tests for Standardized Tests? Have these scores been an accurate measure of your performance on the real test? Yes, I've taken several practice SATs. Not sure if it accurately measures my performance on the real test because I only started studying a few months after my 10th grade PSAT and I haven't gotten my results back from this year's PSAT yet. Taking the SAT this upcoming January.
