Answer 3

Haha we can ace it(?) together @Taylor0402

Answer 4

Haha seems legit! @Taylor0402

Answer 5

wait what school do you go to mine doesnt count for a grade we just have to take it

Answer 6

No school counts it for a grade.

I hope you've studied the grammar rules. Pay attention to the math questions cuz they try to trick you.

Answer 7

My friend took it this past Saturday and said it was cake. He excels heavily at Mathematics though ;p

Answer 8

Oh dang I am screwed guys haha @ShadowLegendX @mhchen

Answer 9

I would agree with @Mhchen and look into rules of grammar. You may come across questions asking you to properly word things, using the correct punctuation such as colons, commas and semicolons.

Answer 10

I have been in your position before, honestly, just take a second to step back and breath, and study as best you can.

Answer 11

After you've finished, you'll know what you missed and be able to take the next PSAT or take the SAT better. That's what it's for.

Answer 12

That is a good point @ShadowLegendX

Answer 13

yea i really shouldn't be taking it as a freshman but they want us to prepare for when the test really counts

Answer 14

Just go over Subject-Verb agreement and tenses.
Tenses like past, past-perfect, imperative, future, conditional, and helping verb (have) with past particples.

Also parallelism is SAT's favorite

Answer 15

Independent and Dependent clauses are a big one as well. That just relates to the subject-verb thing though.

Answer 16

So yeah, know the punctuation that separates the clauses

Answer 17

And the positive/negative tone of transition words. Remember there can't be 2 negatives in a sentence.

Answer 18

To be honest, especially if you know you aren't going to be getting the greatest grades throughout highschool, or you're homeschooled, I would heavily study/prepare for the SATs and take PSATs when you can. @Taylor0402 Even if you're a freshman

Answer 19

Oh dang a lot to remember haha

Answer 20

It's a lot but it's like simple if/else and I'd like to think of it as 'addition' with words

Answer 21

That is a really good way to think about it @mhchen

Answer 22

pls don't forget #2 pencil

Answer 23

If you can, do the easier-for-you problems first, and come back to the harder ones if you find you have time left. Double check to ensure that you have understood each question and have provided a suitable answer to that question.
