PSATs are worthless.

The SATs are not as hard as people make them out to be.
I took the SAT twice and got a 1730 and a 1760 or something like that. My best scores in each subject add up to an 1810.
I also never studied for them or anything like that. I just took them and used what knowledge I have built up/remembered over the years and did fine.
Pretty good for the college I'm going to. ESU only requires like 900 excluding the writing score. So I'm set, I have no desire (or money) to go to the kind of schools that would require more than an 1800.

Only if you do super good on them.
Don't you compete statewide for the NMSQT stuff?

Not really.
Stop setting your standards so high. I have no plans to go to some $100 000 ivy league school.
I'm going to ESU, the state university that is like 20 minutes away from my house. Actually, my scores are high relative to most of the school's admissions.

Hell, if I had extra curriculars and stuff I'd be getting a free ride.
