Sharon in MD Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 We just checked ds's scores and they did go up a little. Not the bounce we'd hoped for, but his writing went up by 40 points, so that was good. His essay was the same, cr the same and math up by 10. We are still happy though, at least they didn't go down LOL. We are in the middle 50 for all his schools of choice, so we will cross our fingers.

Sandy in Indy Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 I was very happy with DS's scores this time. He improved his scores overall by 30 points and crossed the 2,000 mark (which was our goal). I'm very, very happy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharon in MD Posted October 23, 2008 Author Share Posted October 23, 2008 We were really glad to get the writing section up to 610, we'd been really surprised by his first 570. He'd always done better on that section of the PSAT, so we weren't sure what went wrong the first time. Overall, we hit 1900 and all his scores are pretty even, so he should look relatively balanced. I'll just be glad when all the apps go out the door and I can quit worrying about getting them done. Then we can start worrying about when we will hear back!!!

(Then we're gonna sweat till Dec.17 as that's when his 1st choice school mails acceptances.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharon in MD Posted October 24, 2008 Author Share Posted October 24, 2008 As I recall, it took much longer last year for the October PSAT scores to post than it does for the SAT scores. I think the reason is that the SAT scores in October and November get a heightened priority because of the needs of the senior students applying for early action and early decision at colleges. If you have not set up an account on the college board website, I would do that first. It is free and there are loads of information available. We have found it to be pretty helpful.

TerriMI Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Thanks for the heads-up, Sharon! And congratulations to your son. My dd's score on the CR and Math went up a total of 80 points! Her writing score went down, however. But nevermind! It's the first two that most colleges look at and we are thrilled and proud of her.

Sharon in MD Posted October 24, 2008 Author Share Posted October 24, 2008 We have a mixed bag on the colleges that ds is applying to....some count the writing and some don't. But his fav does...so we are glad of the improvement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
