What score am I shooting for? The absolute highest score possible. I made one perfect score and two near perfect scores on my state's set of four standardized tests, so I know I can do it if I focus. But again, those tests aren't timed.
Thing is, I encountered one (maybe two, but I think it was one) math question which I had absolutely no clue how to solve. I also encountered several questions involving words which were not in my vocabulary.
*sigh* I suppose I'll just have to wait for my scores and study accordingly.
Yeah, I just took the test myself. I'm feeling pretty confident, all in all. Only hit one or two math problems that I didn't know how to work, and a handful of freaky-ass vocabulary words, but nothing too extreme. Never took the PSAT's...they're a big waste of time, IMHO. The first time around, I got a 1940, and that was without any studying whatsoever. An 1800 will get you into your standard honors college, and anything above a 2000 will just about get you into Ivy League schools. I'm in it for the scholarship money, myself. The fact that you think you only missed a handful of questions is excellent, though. That usually translates into a great score.
