about

Long story short, I'm from Los Angeles, went to an amazing school, left the US and moved to the Middle East. I've been backpacking around Europe and the Middle East on and off since August 2013.

Quite frankly, I'm sarcastic way more than I should be. Read a few of my answers, and you'll see that I am not totally mean to anyone.

Type correctly or go home. Yes, that is an ultimatum.

15/f. Sophomore.

I took the PSAT about a week ago. There was only critical thinking/reading, math, and I'm not sure what the other section was called, but it was like grammer and choosing the right word. Are these the only subjects on the SAT? What about science? History?

On the math test, there was multiple choice, and then there was fill in. It was if you missed any math that wasn't multiple choice, it wouldn't count agaist you. How can it not count? What's the point of it?

One last question. What's a good score to get? A bad one? How many is it out of?

Any answers appreciated.
Thanks!!

Critical Reading, Math, and something about Writing Skills were the three subjects.

Grammar, by the way. ;]

Science and History are covered on the ACT, but not the SAT.

The reason that they count things against you is to offset random guessing. If you guessed on them all, got 1/5 right, you would get a zero on the test proving that you know nothing. Since you can't just choose a letter, they don't penalize you for guessing.

Each section is out of 800; good scores are usually 650 or so and up. Bad is less than like 500.
