<p>CR is always my weakest, too. I got a 61 on the PSAT for that section…D: -cringe-</p>
<p>lol 61 is bad for you, I’m really proud I got a 64 this year.</p>
<p>^Well, 64 is higher than 61.
I’m always just really really really bad at CR. It’s definitely the one section I need to work on - and also the most annoying to work on, in my opinion, since you actually have to sit down and read, comprehend what you’re reading, and answer the questions. Studying math/grammar is so much less of a nuisance because the rules are universal and you only have to learn them once if you learn them well.</p>
<p>So who else is going to apply to Harvard for fun and frame the rejection (maybe acceptance for many of you) letter just to keep something from Harvard???</p>
<p>^Is it worth 75$ just to get a rejection letter?</p>
<p>I got a 79 on the CR- you don’t have to know anything. Math, though. Yikes.</p>
<p>Good point. ^^</p>
<p>^tellmeyoursecrets</p>
<p>I got a 54 on CR, yet I was averaging like a 65 on practice tests.
But I got a 77 on Writing so that made up for it, I guess. At least we all have the summer to study our hearts out! :)</p>
<p>@anonemuss - $90, actually. :P</p>
<p>@Cherry - OH MY GOD I’m so jealous. I feel like reading is so subjective, though. At least in math, there’s a definite right answer.</p>
<p>Something interesting: this year, Stanford and MIT received around 6,000-7,000 early applicants each, while Harvard only received around 4,500. Stanford had an acceptance rate of ~10% while Harvard’s acceptance rate was 21%. Even taking into consideration that most of Harvard’s class are early applicants, the contrast in numbers is still shocking.</p>
<p>Sigh, Stanford and MIT are my dream schools. Looks like I’m going to have an easier time getting into Harvard than Stanford/MIT come 2 years. (Just kidding, probably not going to get into any of those schools.)</p>
<p>Y’all are talking about PSAT scores and I’m over here like, “At least you got your score. I put the wrong zip code for the school, so I may never get mine.”</p>
<p>Ugggghhhh I haven’t gotten my scores yet. Weird, I feel like I did best on CR, but I’m a humanities type so thats expected. I definently did worst on math</p>
<p>I usually consider myself a math person, but not that SAT kind of math, lol. CR is easy for me, so I’m hoping for a high score on that.</p>
<p>CR- 59 (ouch)
Math- 68
Writing- 60
Total 187
I have a lot of work before next year.</p>
<p>^ Same Writing Skills Score! :D</p>
<p>CR - 60 PLAN Composite 29 (out of 32)
Math - 76
Writing - 62
Total 198
So bad :(</p>
<p>I like how we all complain about.our scores even though they’re generally in the 90th percentile and up</p>
<p>Is asking for recommendations really awkward?</p>
<p>No, asking for recommendations isn’t awkward, well depends on who you ask, but it wasn’t awkward for me. </p>
<p>So a bunch of juniors and I decided to march to the office after school and demand to be given our PSAT scores…</p>
<p>67 Critical Reading
71 Math
70 Writing
Total: 208</p>
<p>HA this is awful, but it’s kind of funny how when a week later, I took the actual SAT and scored a 800 on CR and 190 points higher overall. Glad this doesn’t count for anything lol</p>
<p>@55 - I wouldn’t think so, but today I had to ask my geometry teacher for a rec and it was more awkward than expected. (Maybe it’s because I haven’t talked to her in a few months…)</p>
