PSAT Scores

<p>I didn’t study or anything and i got back my scores today, they haven’t finished the essay ssection tho. I got:</p>

<p>Math: 550
Reading: 550</p>

<p>Then it said I got a 60 in Grammar.</p>

<p>Does that mean I got an 1100. is an 1100 out of 1600 good or above average? what does a 60 in grammar mean? Do you think it’s possible with taking some practice tests and possibly some classes on the SAT to raise my SAT up to 1200 when I take it in June?</p>

<p>An 1100 is average and it definitely depends on what kind of schools you’re applying to. You can definitely reach 1200, and maybe even 1300 if you work hard enough.</p>

<p>I’m applying to good solid California state schools. The thing is my GPA is low, like a 2.66 and I need a good SAT. We are allowed to take the SAT as many as we like and can send in our 2 best scores. I’ll be applying to schools like SDSU, Chico, LBSU, Sac ST, SFSU.</p>

<p>1100/1600 on the SAT is a fairly average score. It can get you into a few OK colleges, though nothing among the best.</p>

<p>The California State University system might be a bit of a reach. Try taking it again and hope for the best.</p>

<p>with that gpa, I think you should study reallly hard for the SAT’s and shoot for a 1300/1600 if you reallly want a chance at sdsu and lbsu</p>

<p>that grammar score is pretty good though and assuming you have a decent essay you should be in the 600’s for the writing section</p>

<p>Ya, I just got emailed with my essay score. I got a 620 out of 800. So my score is a 1720. I think I can do better since I was out the night before and didn’t do any studying. I wanted to see how I’d do first raw. I’ll try and get some prep. I think practice tests are th best way to get better, just review the wrong answers. My essay was on censorship, if it was good or bad. I think most Cal States don’t include the essay part, or maybe it’s the whole writing part…</p>

<p>why would you want to see how you did raw on someting so important</p>

<p>seems like a futile exercise and just leads to frustration</p>

<p>you can see how you do raw on practice tests, etc</p>

<p>egad</p>

<p>Ya, that’s what I mean, this was my PSAT. I wanted to see where I was at with my already known knowledge. Of course, for the SAT in May or June I’ll study.</p>

<p>psat, I thought it was out of 240?</p>

<p>hmmmm</p>

<p>it is but just multiply by 10 to get SAT scores</p>

<p>mine were 59, 61, 64 as a non-studying sophomore</p>

<p>I didnt take the october psat, i took one last week, my first practice test. It said 550 for both and 60 grammar, does thatmean a 600 in grammar?</p>

<p>Hm… I took it last year and got 74, 75, 74… (didn’t study, did better in SAT later thank god) total 223/240, I’m pretty sure it’s suppose to be that times 10 to get the projected SAT scores…</p>

<p>Ummmm, most people sudying for the may SAT in any real way started months ago.</p>

<p>A few months preparations is fne, I’m not going to study for 5-6 months, school probably fills that void. I’ll be taking the SAT in June since my finals are then anyways.</p>
