first of all..psats arent real.. so.. they shouldnt cause so much stress. its just to test your current knowledge. you arent even supposed to study for them. and second; threres a topic on this already.

only affects national merit, which looks good on college apps.
my friend didnt make national merit [he got like a...210?] and got like 1550 on his SATs. dont sweat it. |

I wished all my friends good luck on it. Even thought it doesn't count, it does show what the SAT is like.

i took mine last yr. i go tlike 1220 or some shiite. and it REALLY doesnt matter. the only thing the psats are for is for that national merit scholarship crap, and u have to do REALLY exceptionally good on the psats to egt into that so its not even wroth pushing urself for it. its just good to get used to the format and use teh result sof the psat to prepare urself more for the actual SAT

Although I think I lost my mind during the math section, I'm horrible at math. |
