<p>Mean 215 2201 53</p>

<p>Some observations

  • biggest gains at the lowest base PSAT scores
  • average ~50 point improvement from PSAT to new SAT
  • twice as many people improved than those that lost points:
    7 “de-provements” vs 15 improvements (1 status quo:240/2400)
  • more chance to lose at high end</p>

<p>i got a 191 on my PSAT because i forgot to fill in the last twenty math questions</p>

<p>i am not kidding</p>

<p>i got them all right too</p>

<p>all said i got a 2330 on my SAT</p>

<p>Lol (sorry, I have to laugh), but isnt “the last twenty” just basically the entire last section?</p>

<p>Good job on your SAT that actually matters tho…</p>
