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? |

My schools dumb, i got a crappy crappy score and it was above average.
QUOTE I DID SO BAD IT'S NOT FUNNY. No one told me how to take it, so I answered all those math ones and guessed on everything, and everything was so hard, I never understood anyof it, so I just guessed, omg I did bad. I did really bad too! I had no idea what I was doing, i'm so used to answering every question on tests. So i ended up like skipping half the crap because I wasn't absolutely sure of its correctness and didn't want to lose points. Not a good thing to do. Especially if all the ones you did end up answering on one part were correct. :\ |
