lol. I do not think the PSAT test is very representative of the test. The questions on the passages were a lot more ambiguious than the ones in 10 real SAT's. I thought for the most part the sentence completions were too easy and the math somehow seemed just as easy as the old SAT ( though I got some wrong that made me mad) grammar, dunno cuz I still stink at it.

Score:
M-76
V-68
W-70

total- 214.


not that this score tells anyone anything,.

anyone else take the kaplan tests? what you think of it?

I feel like I wasted 13-15 bucks..

I think Kaplan's easy too...

My mother says that Kaplan is a starter so you'll want to study...and it's purposely designed to be easier than the real thing. That's from her experience in passing a state board test with Kaplan

Are you comparing PSAT to SAT?
They're similar, but not the same. I wouldn't worry about PSAT too much unless you really need that slight possibility of a thousand dollars.

well I really want that slight possibilty of a thousand dollars. lol. plus I MAY try to go to a big name school (Rice ). I'm comparing the reading passages of the SAT and PSAT. I would assume they would be near to identical

there are so many mistakes on the Kaplan PSAT only both the 2004 and the 2005 edition.

By Kyip (Kyip) on Wednesday, July 28, 2004 - 04:59 pm: Edit

I found many in Princeton's new PSAT book too...they said stuff like 130+60=180 degrees and stuff...and in other sections too.`

By Miamidude (Miamidude) on Wednesday, July 28, 2004 - 11:07 pm: Edit

well excuse me but isnt 130+60=180? next your gonna say 2+2 doesnt equal 8, jesus, the nerve!

By Vtran31 (Vtran31) on Thursday, July 29, 2004 - 04:27 pm: Edit

what mistakes in the 2005 edition? specifically on the 1st diagnostic or prep sections.

By Enteater (Enteater) on Friday, July 30, 2004 - 01:53 am: Edit

you probably did waste that.

I've used Kaplan for my SATs, and I have to say...THE PROGRAM SUCKS LIKE ••••.

I think its mostly aimed for lacker people or something...if you want something challenging go with Princeton.

By Kyip (Kyip) on Friday, July 30, 2004 - 03:26 pm: Edit

Vtran, you mean in Princeton? Several times during the practice tests, they'd give me a problem like, "If 16x+3, then what does x equal?" It's not even a frickin equation.

By Vtran31 (Vtran31) on Friday, July 30, 2004 - 11:09 pm: Edit
