<p>@Stud congrats, that is AMAZING!</p>
<p>ACT tomorrow, sort of freaking out (I have a feeling I am going to bomb it) and I am still waiting for my PSAT score…</p>
<p>I got a 202 on my PSAT. Considering I didn’t study for it at all and had a huge volleyball tournament that day that I was more focused on, I’m pretty satisfied. NMS was never really something I was striving for, now I’m just wishing I had put in a little more time. Oh well, whatever.</p>
<p>@lldm21: I feel that Inri137 takes his point a bit too far in that he suggests that work is always the main criterion of success and that working hard (and “correctly”) will always yield a positive result. For example, I know people who work a lot harder than I do in some classes and still do worse; it’s a simple fact of life that we are not on an equal playing field. Even so, I wholeheartedly agree with his general advice that surrendering is never a good option. Resigning oneself to a lesser fate won’t help one achieve success.</p>
<p>Yeah I still haven’t gotten my PSAT scores so I’m still wondering when they come out if they are supposed to come in December…</p>
<p>2330 PSAT (: Pretty happy because I had perfect scores reading and writing, but math, oh my… My guidance counselor and the one from the one private high school in my area both said this is the highest score they have seen in their careers and their lives. Woo for living in the Midwest lol</p>
<p>I’m taking the January SAT and I’m only just starting prep. Hope this goes well.</p>
<p>@Indigo You should be fine. You still have over a month to prep. You could separate each section and focus on one each week and you would be fine, not to mention having time left over to do more complete practice tests. </p>
<p>I probably flopped on my PSAT’s. I’m scared. I think I did decent on math and writing, but CR might be another story. I’m pretty confident I won’t be eligible for national merit unless a miracle occurs.</p>
<p>Same @Indigo, except I won’t be starting prep until next weekend when school’s out. I get three weeks off, though, so I’ll be devoting them to SAT prep.</p>
<p>I’m taking the SAT in June, and hopefully some SAT Subject Tests in May.</p>
<p>PSAT scores mailed today so I should get them tomorrow or Wednesday</p>
<p>Hello thread, long time no see.</p>
<p>So anxious for PSAT scores 
Apparently the writing curve was really harsh and I know I missed at least one.</p>
<p>I dropped IB film. Second semester I’m taking AP Econ instead.</p>
<p>The math curve seemed to be bad. Or maybe it’s just because there were fewer questions.
I missed two in math and got a 73.
I missed two in writing and got a 77.</p>
<p>I have no hope now.</p>
<p>I still don’t have my scores. I don’t really care about them; I know that I didn’t make NF.</p>
<p>On the plus side, I got a 98 1/3 on my precalc quiz, and my quarter grade went up 14 points. I had to try so hard not to scream during history when I looked at my grades; I currently have a 94 in the class- the highest grade I’ve had in it all year.</p>
<p>Are you sure you didn’t miss 1 in writing, Halyon? Collegeboard already released the score curve <a href=“http://professionals.collegeboard.com/profdownload/understanding-psat-nmsqt-scores.pdf[/url]”>http://professionals.collegeboard.com/profdownload/understanding-psat-nmsqt-scores.pdf</a></p>
<p>I got my email from college board yesterday at 3 in the morning saying that I can look at my scores online. You must have the access code tho in order to look at the breakdown online and a designed study plan for you. I have yet to get mine in the mail along with the access code! Checked the mail today…</p>

<p>Yep, I wonder why they don’t just let you see the score though. :I</p>
<p>“Are you sure you didn’t miss 1 in writing, Halyon?”</p>
<p>Yeah, you’re right. I missed two in <em>critical reading</em> and got a 77.</p>
<p>Do they really care about having a lot of volunteering stuff? Unless you’re actually passionate about volunteering I don’t think it’s necessary.
Why wouldn’t NHS allow menial work? What is a high school kid qualified to do that’s <em>not</em> menial work?</p>
