Ugh I really don’t like the common core, and when I took the old PSAT in my freshman year ('14) I scored a 194. I took the new PSAT as practice at my tutoring center and I got a 1100…I scored much lower on the math. It’s just so confusing and now I am taking the new SAT in my junior year, and I have to adopt the common core and try to learn it as best as possible…ugh whyyy

Common Core is not on the SAT/psat.

What course did you take Frosh year? (With a 194, I assume that you are advanced in math.) What did you take Soph year?

More importantly, since you took a practice test at a tutoring center, which problem types did you miss? (There are plenty of advanced math students – Calc as a Junior – who bomb the math section of the SAT just bcos they forgot all those pesky Alg I and Geom rules.)
