@Spiral7 Wow thanks to you I was able to look up the new PSAT and become aware of it. I can’t emphasize how badly it sucks that our national merit will depend upon the new designed PSAT -_- Well… GREAAAAT. So there are no preparatory books out to help us for it? Guess I’ll have to depend on the sample questions
How does one prepare for a test the world hasn’t taken yet
@Spiral7 my school has a history of giving us, like, three days to do all our research because they’re really disorganized and do everything late, so we don’t have much time. This MUN, I really wanted to win a research award, but we only had two and a half days, two topics, I was busy for an entire day, it was post-finals, and I had to rewrite everything my partner wrote because she didn’t know how to do anything.
Let’s just say we didn’t win a research award.
Next time I go to a conference, I want to write operatives/preambs ahead of time so we’re the resolution writers (I mean, we sponsored resolutions for both topics and presented once since the first time, all six of us sponsors were super-invested and it ended up being the seniors who got to go up, but I mean actually putting it together); our second resolution this time didn’t pass because the person who put together all the operatives and stuff was really disorganized and didn’t think everything through completely. According to our repertoire speaker, it was the first time they saw a resolution sponsored by the USA not pass xD
And ew the new PSAT. I wish we could just stick with the old one D: I did well enough.
@tigerman333 It was supposed to snow today and tomorrow but it’s currently precipitating at 40 degrees so all that’s pouring is rain… But tomorrow is a Teacher Work Day so I have no school anyway!
@Spiral7 I would also like to know more about the redesigned test. Was there any notable changes you can discern from the current test?
@tigerman333 Snow day? I wish! The most my school has had this year is a snow delay! If we’re lucky it may snow, and if it snows, we may get a delay, But a snow day? Highly unlikely.
The worst part is that I live in an area where snow days are not rare, but not common either. Furthermore, all the public school kids KNOW if they’ll have a snow day or not the day before school/ snow day. I get to wait until 7 the day of school/ snow day before I know for sure. What’s even worse is that I was at a swim practice and my public school friends were talking about how they were going to sleep in on their snow day and I was standing next to them. (I didn’t have a snow day)
