Well I'm not really sure. You live somewhere different, so the things you may be tested on might be different. Remember though to not answer all the questions on it that you don't know. I heard yesterday that they don't count it against you if you don't answer a question. I just found that out. No one told me before, or I might've forgotten. My PSATs though were pretty easy. Many standard questions and stuff. Please do your best to study well for it. You know, college credits, scholarship programs, stuff. I recently got an e-mail from a scholarship program last month that helps intelligent kids like me get into great colleges, so I'm looking into that. Very proud of that accomplishment.

gonna try to work part time and make myself some video game money
i hate not being able to buy games and stuff and i know that sounds a little spoiled but idec

besides that, since i'm mostly taking computer science classes im basically doing what i do for like half the summer, which is programming
...except not when i want to (i.e. early in the morning)

Don't listen to this. They won't count off for questions you leave blank, but if you omit a lot of questions, you're not going to get a very good score. That's coming from someone who's taken it before. And if you go into the SAT with the mentality that it'll be as easy as the PSAT, you're gonna be in a world of trouble when you take the real assessment.

so true, so very true
my school didn't teach me half the s*** on there when i took it (nor did the psat i took)
luckily i had some online help from a few math sites i found through google

Ugh English is my problem, not Math. I get horrendous scores on the Writing and Reading Comp sections.

wow really? that's normally what people are better at from what i've seen
although i admit that writing was annoying because i always had problems figuring out how to start
there are techniques that make writing a LOT easier, but the reading comprehension part is more of a critical thinking type of thing
you kinda have to develop that skill over time by challenging yourself often, maybe by reading higher level books or something
or expanding your vocabulary

I stopped reading seriously a couple years back, so my comprehension went down drastically. The vocab's damn hard, too. I've heard of remember root words and prefixes rather than actual words, but I don't know how much that will help me. I'm taking the online course, so hopefully that can help.

actually that root word/prefix thing isnt a bad idea
for example if i see the word international, and i dont know wtf it means, id break it down

"ok so inter means 'between' i know that alright woo"
"national has got to mean 'in relation to a nation' (heh that rhymes)"
"wow so international must mean 'between nations'!!!"

many words share root words. so if you know some root words, you might know some words that use them
so like, if you know inter, you could probably guess what international, internet, intertwined, and interface mean
anyway you should read more books. they dont necessarily have to be hard books you know
like, books that make me laugh are what i read most tbh, and i always ace any reading comprehension tests i take

well, thats just my two cents. hope everything goes well with your online classes, good luck friend :>

lol transaction, you broke down international. But nice example.

And thanks for the support! :33

yeah i was deciding on which one would be easier to do and i got mixed up i guess lmao

oh, and no problem :>

It's quite funny to see people so worried about standardized federal testing. Most students in the united states never have to deal with entrance exams.

Oh gosh, I loved doing the writing and English portions of the PSATs. Math was kinda ok.

In community college now.

Having high hopes this time.

Studying for my HSC is proving to be a gargantuan task. Any tips?

This was kinda some of the same thing for me when I took my PSATs.
