So, I'm a junior and I recently got back my PSAT. (I swear my school was the last to pass out scores ><). I'm curious as to whether or not I have a chance to qualify for national merit. I'm not sure if my score is good enough.
I've asked around, and I haven't really gotten a straight answer from anyone since juniors won't find out until their senior year. One senior got a 206 when she was a junior, but was only commended. And another scored a 208 and just made it; she was a semi-finalist. My other friend made a 207, and missed it by just one point, but he's also commended. I'm very interested in everyone's opinions, and I assume there has to be someone in cB that knows what they're talking about! So to cut to the chase, I scored in the 98 percentile; I made a 209. Do I have a good/bad chance? |

The essay isn't as difficult as you'd think it'd be, it's just a matter of writing quickly and not doubting yourself; that just wastes time. And I didn't find the math to be that much harder, but there are definitely newer kind of problems. I don't know how many times I've promoted the SAT prep book, but yeah, it does the trick. Ummm, what else is there to say? Oh yes, the length. The length is definitely the biggest difference between the two. Bring two snacks for the test; it'll be so worth it.
