RE: I'm screwed
Dude! Kick some ass. The PSAT doesn't really mean anything unless you get in the 99th percentile. So, take chances and don't take names. You are a smart guy. Be confident and stay focused. Then, run like Hell.

That would be scholarships Tea. If any of them include an essay you are in trouble anyway. Don't worry so much.

RE: I'm screwed
I believe you write well, but unfortunately spelling does count. If you spell every other word incorrectly they are going to think you are just another dumb Eagle scout. They only give sholarships to Eagle scouts that can spell scholarship!

I'm just giving you flack dolly! Just relax about the test and use spell check when the essays on those scholarships come up.

RE: I'm screwed
Good luck on the CX T. I'd skip the whole test and just run. You have to remain practical...if you can't spell "scholarship", chances are they ain't gonna give ya one.

RE: I'm screwed
Tea, are some scholarships really based on psat scores? Isn't the point of the psat sort of a practice run for the real thing? Things have really changed in the last 15 years! Don't sweat it.

RE: I'm screwed
Don't forget. Your intuition will help immensely on the test. The only way to use your intuition and your intellect is to be in a relaxed and confident state. Unfortunately, New Jersey does not qualify as one of those states. Sorry Tea. Back to work at the FBI desk for you.

RE: I'm screwed
First and foremost, in my opinion, rest. Worry about cross country AFTER the PSAT. Take deep breaths and take one step at a time.

BTW, you're not a senior yet, are you?? If not, this can be practice and you can do better next year if you don't do as well as you'd like.

Unless you're trying to get into an exclusive university, you'll do just fine. They just want to know that you can succeed at "their" university. They don't like drop outs and flunkees. It makes their statistics look bad.

Good luck!

RE: I'm screwed
Don't sweat it. I didn't take the PSAT and I still managed 1160 on the SAT. Just get extra sleep tonight and drink less than your usual amout of coffee in the morning. Being relaxed is worth everything. Oh, yeah, trust your intuition. I lost a lot more points second guessing myself then just trusting my instinct.

RE: I'm screwed
Here is a study sheet for ya Tea:

a2+b2=c2 (pythagorean theorum)

d=r*t

1 can of beer = 12 oz.

There are 180 degrees in a triangle.

12 pack of beer = 144 oz., or, if x = beer, then 12 pack = x2.


Good luck, hope this helps.

RE: I'm screwed
Tea, in college you need to have a dorm rm. w/ ample seating (i.e. crappy couches and bean bag chairs) and a good stereo and at least for the first two yrs. a reliable buyer. There is no need for high test scores or good study skills.

RE: I'm screwed
God dam budda, that was funny. I had some truble with these problems, and I will explain why:

2. There are 24 ice cold beers in a garbadge can. If Radagast and Buddha Bear enter the room with the beer for 4 hours, how many beers will there be left?

a. 2
b. 0
c. 24
d. 9

When I walked in the room there where 25 beer cans and a bottle that smelt like lickerrish. My good judgement led me to believe that rad snuck in a bottle of sambooka, and budda bear sneaked in a can of his home made crap.

. If violin as two trolls and pedxing has 4, how many trolls do they have combined?
a. 2
b. 6
c. We all know they have many more trolls than that.
d. 0 pedxing is a violin troll.

I don't think violin is a troll, as a matter of fact I have met him many times. Every morning when I look in the mirror to be exact. Oops I wasn't supose to say that.

I hate that test, it sucked, it sucked more then this girl that I met on the buss ride home from the meet.
