<p>I got my PSAT results back today, and I got a 185. I did pretty well on all of the sections except for math. I only take Algebra 2 as a junior, so I didn’t know all of the math covered. Is my score really bad? Will my math score be better come time for the SAT, considering I’ll know much more math?</p>
<p>CB doesn’t test past Algebra II.</p>
<p>You are asking if the score is bad, but bad in what way? . . . The average PSAT score for juniors has been below 150, so you are well above the average.</p>
<p>Did you prep for the PSAT?
If you didn’t you could easily score in the 2000 - 2200 with minimal prep especially in mathematics. Start studying vocab, grammar rules, and reviewing math topics like geometry.</p>
<p>Eh, not great, not awful. Average by CC standards but above average everywhere else. You can definitely do better on the SAT if you study efficiently.</p>
<p>Average for CC is more like 2200s.</p>

<p>Rofl!!</p>

<p>hey be nice

<p>
</p>
<p>Who are you addressing??</p>
<p>^i thought u were mocking at a 165 PSAT? or maybe i misinterpreted. if making fun out of a 165 wasn’t ur motive, then i apologise.</p>
<p>i got a 166 no prep</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I was not mocking a 165 PSAT. I was laughing at this statement by ACTTester:</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>i.e. laughing at the comment about CC.</p>
<p>(P.S. - No offense taken, and apology accepted. 
)</p>
<p>By “average”, I meant “mediocre”. Obviously, since the pool of students who actually post their scores on CC is self-selecting in itself, you can’t get a good estimate of the average of all SAT scores of CC members (which includes members who do not post their scores).</p>
<p>^True. But the way you wrote that statement was a bit satirical.</p>
<p>I really can’t imagine why so many Nobel laureates are active on this website though. Gets intimidating at times.</p>
<p>
No, not satirical. Just a given fact that CC’s expectations are higher than the outside world’s.
Now, this is what I call satirical.</p>
