I got an 1870, which is all they looked at for my admissions. It was an early decision thing for the state college I live near and the first thing he said to me was how much money do you want.

what the forget why do you lose more if you get something wrong
surely it's better to have at least tried the problem and to have just ignored it

nevermind i had a think and figured it out

One thing to note, don't let colleges contact you via email. Ever since I took the PSAT (about a year ago) I've been constantly spammed by almost every college in the country.

SAT is probably a good idea for contact though, but PSAT shouldn't matter that much to most universities/community colleges.

Even though you said you had it figured out I'll give the answer in case anyone else is wondering. It's to discourage people from just outright guessing, no answer = 0 and wrong is negative I forgot how much though. If you can narrow it down to like 2 questions make a choice. Also if you have a low essay score don't stress about it at all, most schools don't even require them and just look at Math/Reading.

If you live in PA and are considering a state school and have over a 3.0GPA and 550 on both math and reading you're eligible for a full tuition scholarship.

My god I didn't get many emails but a stuff ton of actual mail. Especially from the Colorado School of Mines which I don't think even offered a degree in the majors I said I wanted.

I remember seeing the option for promotions to my address but I don't think I got much, if any, of that. I honestly don't remember signing up for email but I recall that it was an option. I don't know if I didn't read carefully or it was worded strange...idk.

My junior and senior year I would have at least one a week and usually about 3 or 4 brochures. I had a few I would of applied for since they waived all the fees and essays for my applications but I was already locked in because I had a full tuition scholarship.
