<p>Yeah, I took the PSAT sophomore year and got a 210. This May, I took the real SAT shortly after recovering from a 40+ Celsius fever and got a 2120. Not terrible, considering I still had a terrible cough while taking the test. I’m hoping for better luck this year though!</p>
<p>Meh, I took it freshman year and got like a 198. I took it sophomore year and got like a 207. I was so f@#<em>& *</em>**ed since I got 80 in math and like 75 in reading but totally bombed the writing section (which was the only section I had perused through in a PSAT prep book).</p>
<p>Hopefully I don’t make a similar mistake, since in the middle of my sophomore year I took the SAT (cold/without prep) and got a 2200.</p>
<p>^ Congrats James! That’s a pretty solid score. 
Are you planning to retake at all?</p>
<p>^^Nice:) .</p>
<p>we can start signing up monday, its like 20$ and on Oct 17th (i think, idk yet) but im nervous, i want to do good. im shooting for somewhere around 200+, but ill prob end up getting somewhere around 180</p>
<p>Wow, I have to pay $35:/ Gah, I just got an 8 out of 20 on one of the sections. Luckily, it was my first try without studying or anything at 10 pm, but still, it’s alarming:/</p>
<p>Of course I’m going to retake! If it’s a cold score, hopefully I can do better with some prep (:</p>
<p>Assuming that prepping doesn’t make me dumber, like it did when I prepped for PSAT writing and got a 50 something, and when I didn’t prep I got like a 70 something ):</p>
<p>Am Lit Honors
APUSH
AP Chem
Precalculus Honors
Chinese 3
A’cappella choir
T-aiding for math </p>
<p>But my ECs are killing me 
Class president (2011 ftw), ASB, National Honor Society officer, Photography officer, tutor for a tutoring session after school, Speech and Debate, UN Club (traveling to Africa in winter), Competitive Math, and two more clubs</p>
<p>As for SATs & PSAT, ahhh it’s in less than a week! I’m aiming for 2400 but will be content with 2200+
So far, my unweighted is 4.00 but my grades suck right now 
hoping to raise them up soon.</p>
<p>Colleges: Harvard, Stanford, Berkeley & UCLA, Columbia</p>
<p>^^I’m the complete opposite. If I don’t study at all, I fail miserably.(As indicated by my 8/20:/) However, if I do study, I usually do pretty well:) I wouldn’t think your score would go down by studying, but if it does, a 2200 is still pretty good:)</p>
<p>^Wow, hopefully you get that 2400!:)</p>
<p>'11 Pride (:</p>
<p>Kind of diverging from my original plan…</p>
<p>Aimed to take 13~14 ap’s, but I’m stuck at hopefully 10. :/</p>
<p>Currently in…
AP Physics B
AP Calculus AB
AP US History
AP English Language
Mandarin 3
Orchestra 2.</p>
<p>I was hoping to take AP Psychology and World history as a freshman, followed by AP Euro and Ap Calc AB sophomore year… :/</p>
<p>Xc got in the way so I couldn’t concentrate on my plan… D:</p>
<p>I’m not looking at any colleges for now, I’m superstitious about looking into a college too much. I’m also skeptical about wearing college gear.</p>
<p>Also, I’m kind of going through some unpleasant events in my life…
- Found out things I never needed to know about my family
- Parents disputing often
- Having no inheritance from any of my grandparents…</p>
<p>^ Wow, JLee92, your schedule’s nearly identical to mine. Just replace Chinese with Spanish and Orchestra with AP Econ… </p>
<p>As for the ‘unpleasant events’, make sure you get your counselor to mention them in his/her recommendation, particularly if they’re serious enough to hurt your grades.</p>
<p>^Wow, you are taking 5 APs? Awesome:)</p>
<p>Wow. All of you guys are taking a lot of APs. I feel like such a slacker now.</p>
<p>I’m taking Spanish 3, AP Chemistry, Honors English 11, Honors Pre-Calc, and AP US History. I’m doing pretty well so far, three A’s and two B+'s.</p>
<p>As for the PSAT, I’m hoping for 180 or higher. I got a 166 last time.</p>
<p>And colleges, I’m not really into going super far from home (Indiana). I’m looking into Central Michigan, Purdue, Northwestern, Iowa State, and Augustana.</p>
<p>I’ve got 4 APs this year. Not bad.</p>
<p>Colleges - UofM, MSU, Wayne State, Northwestern, and maybe some low ivies like Brown.</p>
<p>Nice:) I’m still searching for colleges I’d like to go to. As of right now, I’m thinking I will apply to UCs, but I also would like to apply to private institutes.</p>
<p>I took a practice PSAT today.</p>
<p>I got a 214 ):</p>
<p>There’s this one really weird question though… can someone explain it to me?</p>
<p><a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/sat-act-tests-test-preparation/788921-psat-math-question-■■■■■■■■-explanation-please.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/sat-act-tests-test-preparation/788921-psat-math-question-■■■■■■■■-explanation-please.html</a></p>
<p>Ok, math isn’t my best subject, so you might want to look at other people’s responses. However, isn’t it just a matter of logic? Maybe I’m looking at it too simplistically, but if x=4, and that means y>3, then wouldn’t it make sense to say that if y<3, then x isn’t equal to 4 because x is only equal to four when y>3? Yes, sorry for the bad explanation. I tried:/</p>
<p>lol Every time I look at my schedule I think it looks mediocre at best…everyone else thinks I’m out of my mind…I have CC syndrome :(</p>
<p>^Same:/ Just do the best that YOU can do though, and don’t worry. That’s how I force myself to look at it.</p>
<p>^ James, I just posted a reply on your thread… hope it makes sense. I was super careful not to make any mistakes on that practice PSAT, and got an 80 on math. (Woot!) Now let’s see how I do on the CR and W sections…</p>
