Donât worry if you havenât studied. The SAT and ACT are far far more important than the PSAT. Yes, you can qualify for national merit. No, most people do not receive anywhere near the amount of funding this girl did. The average amount of funding for a national merit qualifier is only around 2k. No Ivy League school recognizes the PSAT for any significant amount of funding, nor do most schools at or near the level of USC. Donât let this girlâs exceptional circumstance create the impression that this is the norm. Study hard, but donât stress :)
â¤ď¸â¤ď¸
this makes me feel sm better. thank you
sat and act arent even too important nowadays with schools going test-blind
Bruh I had mine yesterday and didn't study
If you get national merit finalist, which 15,000 people get, then most schools will let you attend full ride as long as you make the university your first choice, for ex: University of Florida
her: start studying your sophomore year
me, my junior year one month before the psat not having studied at all yet: đđđ
Same

I got mine next week, they havenât even gave me anything to study on
Iiiii have 2 weeks
Ikr. I don't know why I'm watching this video when I know I'm gonna perform badly lmao
Iâm a junior taking the psat tomorrow. I got 1580 on the sat, and heres some math tips:
1. Triangle problem? Usually a special triangle
2. You can calculate roots from polynomials with the polynomial root finder on your calculator
3. You can solve standard form system of equations with the root finder
4. You can calculate imaginary numbers
5. You can graph inequalities on ur calculator
6. Thereâs a button ur calculator in math to convert any number into a fraction
7. Circles problems are almost always related to proportions
what books and eveyrthing you used to study
@@jenniferjoseph3030 I used a writing book by panda, purchased a math sat book, and I also did the khan tests. Attending an sat prep class might also help you, but be careful not to waste your money on one.
My advice is for you to regularly take practice tests, all the way through, maybe a five min break between each section, to mimic the actual test. Also be sure to thoroughly understand what you get wrong.
@@pinkrose10yt donât worry! The psat doesnât matter unless you get the scholarship, and itâs nearly impossible depending on where you live to get in, bc the score requirement is like 1500+.
@@pinkrose10yt Once again donât worry about this lol. You can only even qualify for the scholarship if youâre a junior. Also, in some states the requirement can be like around 1460. They take the top percentile of the state, so states like Wyoming or Nebraska have much lower requirements.
That being said, just my personal opinion, I think thereâs easier ways to get scholarships. Not many people qualify for the scholarship, and only about 1/3 of those who do end up getting scholarship money. Reality is that itâs extremely difficult to meet the requirements, and then be selected for the scholarship from the pool of people who do qualify.
So just focus on other things. Donât worry about the scholarship. I highly doubt Iâll even qualify for New Jersey, and thatâs coming from someone who did 100+ hours of practice.
I sc0rd 65 oN mi IQ tesst⌠so i wont b takin tha PSAT
literally they just told me at school that we're taking the PSAT next week. I'm beginning to study 8 days before. Ahhh!!

yeah same
I'm taking the PSAT in three days, and I haven't studied once. The coronavirus shutdown took away my motivation for schoolwork, so I just didn't care enough. I care now, and I regret not looking into this sooner. I just didn't know anything about the test. I also figured that I didn't have a chance to do well, and thought it would be silly to try if it was all in vain. But I take the hardest classes I can, and I had a 4.15 GPA (honors classes boosted my GPA) last year, and I think I'm decently intelligent. Two of my cousins were National Merit Finalists. Our school gave us books to practice, so I'll do that for now. Thanks for the info!
Good luck

I'm also taking the psat on wednesday and am in this same situation :( I'll use the booklet the school gave us too. good luck to us both!!

When is October already and you only have 4 days until the PSAT đ
try 2đŤ
same and i havenât been studyingđ
It ainât a big deal, she is hyping this up but it will really only help if you score perfect, it is mainly for National Honors Society which is really selective anyway, donât stress, worry about the real one
If youâre a sophomore and youâre worried about the scholarship thing, just know that it only qualifies for juniors. You have to be a junior and take the PSAT, that way you are qualified for the competition of the scholarship. If youâre a sophomore, it doesnât really do anything to you. Just prepare for the SAT in your junior year!!
Bro I was stressed out because I legit didn't even know psats we're a thing until yesterday and I was like there goes my chance at a scholarship but luckily I'm a sophomore
@@xaimond12 The same for me too
If in fact the PSAT's only count for National Merit in junior year, then prep for the PSAT sophomore and junior year and use the sophomore year one as a dry run. Most prep is free. You just have to look on line and get practice tests, and do like 3 or 4 of them each weekend for a month to get the hang of them and shore up any weaknesses found. I'm finding hind-sight is 20-20 and I as a parent didn't take the PSAT as seriously as I should have for my kids. I'm particularly regretting this because it means we get to pay more for college just because we didn't give the PSAT the attention it deserved (National Merit status really does increase your options even if it is hard to achieve. It's worth it.. Don't make the same mistake I did.)
my PSAT is tmr and I literally haven't studied...
YOURE NOT ALONE LMFAO
Same đ
ME TOO CHCHFHFH

Nah cuz Iâm gonna cry
trying to create good study habits for myself, and this video was really helpful cause im taking my PSAT next week
My school told us about this a few days ago and itâs on the 13th, donât know why I never heard about this but Iâm scared
Heyy my school also told me about ours and is on the 13th as well im also scared for it because i dont really know whats on it..

Same I'm not sleeping tonight â¨
I have it tomorrow but my school didnât even tell me we were going to take this test until now. I am a straight A student with a 4.0 gpa who always studies and now here I am cramming with this booklet. They could have told us sooner no? Smh
Me tooo
my school literally did that to me today . i have the test tomorrow :(
bro same I'm straight A student except freshman year because of COVID and a loot of stuff happened to me.. They told us 6 days before and I have no idea what to do
Same bro đ Iâm not exactly a straight A student and this week has been so tiring bc of common assessments and I donât think I would get a high score on the PSAT
Romans 10:9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
If the actual "P-SAT" actually matter why call it pre-Sat thođđđ

This means everything!!đ¤
Our school's allowing us to take ours as freshmans in highschools if we're in honors and doing good enough for duel enrollment next year, so I'm just gonna take mine now--
It wonât count for national merit until your junior year, though
@@Xiipp oh so itâs just a practice for freshman year it wont count towards scholarships? Iâm really nervous
@@miraethi bingo. Seriously donât worry this year and next year are just to make you more prepared and comfortable with the test.
13 seconds since she posted and Iâm here
im a freshman and my psat is next week and im so stressed out but thank you for this
I'm a freshman as well and my school said for freshmen's the psat doesn't count now, it counts when you're a junior. Right now it's just practice, so you won't be eligible for the National Merit Scholarship Program until your junior year.
Itâs tomorrow and Iâm just seeing thisđhavenât studied a bit
Thank you so much đĽşâ¤ď¸
really helpful!
Good luck everyone on the test tomorrow!
any prep books u recommend to use to study for the psat?
Good job!
Mine is in 20 days from now, October 13,2021, wish me luck guys!
Iâm taking the PSAT tomorrow and they told me today
lmfao fr i hate the system
I have to take it tomorrow đ§đ˝ââď¸
But I'm a freshman so I will be studying next year and the next
I took it in 8th and got a 980 and was in the 85th percentile so hope I get better
So why donât I ever hear about these things until one day before the test
im literally taking the test next month! but i dont know why, yea i mean it could lift you from paying a full tuition but thats also for people who actually want to go to college, people who already have a goal in minds. i dont know what i want to do, i dont have a goal, my whole life i was told to go to collage so you can have more opportunities, yes that may be true but i still dont know what I WANT TO DO i don't know what field i want to work in, yea being a doctor and everything makes you have a shit ton of money but at the same time i don't want to work in the medical field, i need something thats going to make my life fulfilling and i cant see working in the medical field as one of them.
so i guess what im trying to say is.....what should i do, if i dont know what to do, if i dont necessarily have a goal. and i just want to go to collage?
Iâm taking the test tomorrow, but we do it as sophomores, I didnât know we were taking it so I really didnât get to study
EXACTLY, THEY DIDNT TELL US AT ALL????
Time to watch this after taking the PSAT when Iâm not able to change anything
I have to go from a 960 to a 1450 to qualify and I have a month until I take it meanwhile Iâm taking 3 APâs
Good luck you've got this!!
I wasnât told I was going to take the psat until yesterday. I had applied months ago but the administrator said there was a waiting list and they never emailed me prior that I was gonna take it. So good luck for me cuz itâs today haha
How did it go?
Me just seeing this now right after I took the PSAT
I told myself I was going to study 2 weeks ago but school work kept getting on my ass & now itâs 5 days from nowđââď¸đââď¸
no itâs tommorow
@@selenapatel5298 yep but my school is hosting one on Saturday
I was supposed to take my PSAT today but 20 min into the 1st section the power at my school goes out lol so like an hour and a half later they send us all home. fun day!
Lucky! đđ
my school literally telling me one week before đĽ˛
I have it tmr bro
please help me i am trying to come to the states ,,,im international and currently on class 12 ending session just waiting for the final exam which is postponed due to pandemic...............which year should i come to us fall or spring which year????? and i have like zero prep
WOAH! Do you have any recommended prep books for the PSAT 8/9 (8th and 9th grade)???
you don't need to worry about studying for the PSAT 8/9 bc it doesn't give you scholarships or anything, its only practice (however, if you really are looking for resources, college board has some official guides and Barron's is pretty good. for math, study your school math and youll be ok)
Study using SAT prep
psat is in 5 days for me, wish me luck guys
I've been studying crazy need to sleep soon.
Me watching this as a junior 5 days before the test đđđ
oh- itâs in 5 days and i havenât studied⌠iâm scared now
Me taking it tomorrow
I'm doing it tommorow basically going in blind
i took the psat my freshman year, and i scored an 990 :/
POV: you came here to seek advice for the psat this week
so if iâm taking the SAT this month am I allowed to take the PSAT this fallđŹ
IM HERE A COUPLE HOURS BEFORE PFT
Man I just found an email saying the psat is tommarrow and I kinda have no idea what it is
Iâm taking this on Saturday, Iâm scared đĽś
Well thx I guess Iâm in 8th grade taking the psat In January hopefully ill be goodđ
I studied for the psat only to miss it bc I was absent days before and didnât know where to go
I ended up getting a free day with the freshmen
Taking it tomorrowâŚ.as a sophomore
I studied as much as I could for a month(they only told us a month ago)
Idk how Iâll do but Iâll do my best
They told us a week ago đ I got it tomorrow as well
The way my school makes u take the PSAT Sophomore year and the SAT junior year:(đ
The form to sign up to do it was due today and I was gonna submit it but it says that it's no longer available đ°
Does it matter as a sophomore? Cause I'm taking it tomorrow and I haven't studied at all, I head only Junior year matters but now I'm nervous lol
Yeah it only seriously matters for juniors. Colleges look at the sat, not the psat. And also, even if you do get a really high score ( 1500-1520) on this one, you wonât really be qualified for anything since the scholarship only qualified juniors whoâre graduating in 2023. So donât worry and just prepare yourself over the summer for the SAT
Can You give some tips for the tsi reading
i got a 1220 freshman year for the PSAT. taking another one in 12 hours wish me luck
bruh psat tomorrow lol
If you are taking the PSAT 8/9, do you still qualify for any scholarships or anything else?
Love the video btw â¤ď¸
No. For the scholarship you need to take the PSAT NMSQT in the fall of 11th grade
^^ the comments explained it well!
