Also taking Math II and probably Chem and WH.
Thanks for the input guys. I read a TON so idk why I did so poorly. I do poorly on the multiple choice part of AP Lang too. Idk maybe bc the books I read are YA novels, and you don’t have to do a lot of analyzing in those
@dsi411 That’s a solid sat score for sophomore year. My PSAT from freshman year was 200, but this year it only increased to 201, though I just recently got a 2160 on the SAT. Hoping for a massive increase next year, since it counts for NM.
@ZBlue17 I read a lot of YA novels but I do perfectly fine. I’m sure classics will help you too but don’t give up reading YA if that’s what you enjoy!
I’m super-worried for this year’s PSAT because I’m not good at the new SAT at all. I wish the PSAT had stayed the same -_- Also, apparently this year the PSAT will be given in school only? My school always has the Saturday testing date, so I’m not sure how this is going to work. Since many of my classes (particularly AP World/Human Geo/whatever I end up taking for that last course and AP Physics, which’ll be more than half seniors–in fact, I could be one of two or three juniors in the former) are going to be at least half seniors (other than English and US History, which are grade-specific), I’m kind of worried about what I’m going to miss.
@topaz1116 so the PSAT we’ll be taking is also new (based on the new revised SAT)?
@ZBlue17 yeah.
Taking Math level 2 and Chem on June 6! and I have finals to study for
Me too, and a project due on Monday that I haven’t started. Luckily, I only have real finals in three classes.
Hopefully my SAT Chem studying will be sufficient for my chem class (besides electrochemistry, which the SAT doesn’t cover). Last semester I got a 96 on the final with barely studying; hopefully this semester will be the same (at the very least, I need a 90 to keep my current grade).
Math 2, on the other hand, barely scratches the surface of precalc, especially since it’s mostly first-semester stuff. I need to get an A on my math final, especially if it turns out I didn’t do well on last week’s test.
I got a 680 on the Barron’s diagnostic and a 740 on the first practice test for chem. If I hadn’t made any careless mistakes, I could have easily gotten 780-800. Am I fine?
^ Apparently Barron’s is much much harder than the real thing, so I think you’ll be fine.
@Cornbread1999 @topaz1116 The curve in the Barron’s book is also quite a bit more lenient.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOŌOOOOOOOOÔ
what would the actual curve be? -2? -3? I know I got -1 for Bio SAT and got 800…
@topaz1116 I wouldn’t be too concerned about missing class. This year I had to miss eighty minutes each of Calc and Physics (only sophomore in either) for graduation testing, and while it was definitely annoying to have to catch up, my teacher was quite accommodating and helpful since she knew there was no way around it. Save the worry for other things, like the actual test! 
I’ve been intensely preparing for the SAT this summer. Going to take the very last one before the redesigned one 
I NEED A 2300-2400. I just really really want it. So I’m going to work crazy hard for it. I’m starting from 2005 books and going all the way to 2015. I also got individual section workbooks from Kaplan. I have to emphasize the critical reading portion… I took SAT sophomore year in March and didn’t do as well as I would have liked.
Math - 680
Writing - 670
Reading - 660
It annoys me that the category scores are in descending order -_-
I was aiming for above 700 in the categories but heh that didn’t happen. At least it’s really close!!! Idk guys. I’m stressed and worried for it. I prepared for that SAT so hard and didn’t get the score I wanted… IT IS SO UNPREDICTABLE UGH
I am taking the current SAT because it is the one we have had the most experience with so why would I take the new one when I really do not know what to expect, plus I started practicing for this one last year so it wouldn’t make sense for me to change now. MY PSAT scores were OK: 65 65 65= 195 and then I took the PSSS in February and got a 61CR 65W 70M =196 (I was sick though lol) but now I have been practicing with SAT UP and some of my friends say its very good at predicting what you actually get on the SAT and so I think as of currently: 740W 730CR 740M
I got a 177 on the PSAT. 
However, I didn’t prepare at all. But still, you guys make me feel very morose.
My PSAT score was 190, not that good at all compare to what everyone is posting here. I didn’t prepare for it either. Yeah I feel morose too hahaha
