Just got mine finally!

Critical Reading: 70
Mathematics: 80
Writing Skills: 66 (

)

Selection Index: 216
Percentile: 99

I'm pretty disappointed in my writing skills score. I think I made a bubbling mistake, because the four I missed were all in a row and they were all wrong by one (DEDE was correct, CDCD was on my paper apparently). Oh well, there's not much I can do now. Critical Reading and Math were about what I expected.

you are in 99th percentile and still not happy? wow

Not unless they are in the top 99.8 percentile..

I scored a 1380 on my SAT's, and I was happy. Not good enough for the college's I wanted, but oh well.

Just the critical writing because I think I misbubbled.
I did better on the vocab than I expected, so I think it all cancels out.

 

[jjcha]

Misbubbled or not, you got them wrong. I'd suggest checking your work better next time.

Best,

i hated the PSAT's sooooooo much. i decided to not read the questions after a while so i could spend the time sleeping. totally worth it. got a 170 both years.

 

[ph0rk]

critical writing has bubble sheet answers? pshaw.

SAT scores (the one that actually matters) can fluctuate 50-100 points up or down depending on the day/mood/health/whatever, so don't take these scores as a 1 to 1 indicator of how you'll do. Take the SAT more than once if you can.

The real fun is the GRE

No college pays attention to writing scores. n00b.

Which is a shame, as the majority of undergrads couldn't write their way out of a wet paper bag with a sharp pen.

Move to canada. n00b.

 

[ilikemonkeys]

HA! I remember the PSAT. i got a perfect in math......which means that I guessed really well on a LOT of questions.

Ended up with a meager 25 on the ACT. That's more like it.

i got a 950 on my PSATs and still got a 1220 on the real SATs.

this was when the SATs were out of 1600 and had no writing section though =D

950? They must have changed the scale then... I got a 19X and missed the cutoff for national merit semi-finalist (I think that's what it was called) but a few points. A friend of mine made a 236? or something like that and a 35 on the ACT so I'm guessing the 950 you got was on a different scale.

 

[Akathriel]

I never did exceptionally well on the PSAT or SAT. I got 209 on the PSAT and only a 2000 on the SAT. Then I took the ACT, got a 35 and called it quits. Different strokes for different folks I guess.

 

[erasmus]

i remember getting in the 99th percentile as well


how many people actually do write the PSAT?

is it mandatory in the US?
