PSAT scores back!

Hey everyone!

So we totally got our PSAT scores back today. I think I did pretty well... I got a 210 out of 240!! I got a 74 in Critical Reading, a 61 in Math and a 75 in the writing section. I was reading about average scores and National Merit Scholarship Qualifications on www.CollgeBoard.com. You guys should check it out. They have practice tests, registration dates, and other helpful stuff. I wish I had seen this before I took my PSAT.

I really hope I am a National Merit Semifinalist! I could really use a scholarship to help pay for college.

I think I going to take a SAT prep class this summer. My math score on the PSAT could have been better. Do you guys have any suggestions on good places to take a prep course?? I was talking to my English teacher and she said something about the Princeton Review. Let me know if y'all have any advice or find anything cool on CollegeBoard.com that I might not have seen.





P.S. Here's the SAT question of the day on CollegeBoard.com:

Choose the word or set of words that, when inserted in the sentence, best fits the meaning of the sentence as a whole.


Q:The play, which features ------ mix of comedy, pathos, and music, was correctly described by one honest critic as a ------.


A)a seamless . . debacle
B)an ungainly . . hodgepodge
C)an unfortunate . . masterpiece
D)an inappropriate . . success
E)a harmonious . . failure


****Do any of you think you know the answer???

  3. Good job on your PSAT's! I'm hoping I could do the same of the test if I took it. A 210 out of 240 is really, really high..wonder if Daniel Hulgan could trump that? But you're MUCH smarter than him! As for the prep courses, when my sister wss in high school(she's just a freshman in college now), she took a bunch of courses at the library and I think she took some at LSU. You should check into it!

    As for the SAT question:
    I think it's E! But I have a feeling it's not too correct...

  13. Hey, Amy! First of all, great job on your PSAT! Have you checked out the "My College QuickStart" page on collegeboard.com? If you haven't I'd suggest you do. It is a personalized college career planning kit based on your PSAT score. Also, I think the answer to the SAT question of the day is A.

  17. McClure's class think they can beat Roberie? YEEEEAH, RIGHT!

    Anywho, I found a place to take a prep course and it's LSU GMAT Test Prep Course at Coates Hall Room 155. The website is calendar.2theadvocate.com/baton-rouge-la/events/show/85583063-lsu-gmat-test-prep-course. I think the answer is E! (KELSEY, I THINK WE ARE RIGHT!)

  18. I'm not sure of a good place to take a SAT prep class, but I know the public library has a lot of books on how to take and do well on the SAT and the ACT.

    I agree with the girls in my class (Leah and Kelsey) because they wouldn't use honest to describe critic if they weren't going to be negative about the play.

    McLure's Class won't defeat Roberie even if they have a googleplex coments a day.

  19. When I say I agree with the girls in my class, I'm saying I think the answer is E!

  23. The answer is B. All of the other choices one word is positive and the other is negative. The only one that both the words fit its B: ungainly and hodgepodge.

  24. I'ma go with B. Because... yea... B rocks. Also it is the only one where the two words match in my opinion.
