“Are you learning disabled ? LOOK at the list !!!”

“ONLY 3 STATES OUT OF 50 (NJ, DC and Mass) scored 221 which is the HIGHEST SCORE.

We’re tied for highest DO YOU SEE 222 or above ??? NJ has been ranked third the last several years and this proves it. You must be a supporter of THE FAT MAN.”

LOL! When STANDARDS are constantly LOWERED, it is PEOPLE like you that FEEL BETTER! What a DOPE you are. I takeit Christie bothers you?

“My kids went to NJ public schools. One is a senior chemical engineering major at Rutgers and the other is a junior in HS. He scored 196 on this years PSAT. NJ has one of the best public school systems in the country and this proves it. By the way their friends did really well also, same public schools.”

By the way you talk, I suspect you are also a product of our dumbed down PUBLIC schools. YEs, LOWER STANDARDS make even YOUR kids look good. I can’t begin to tell you, how UNIMPRESSED I am with your kids and going to Rutgers- LOL!!!!

“There are 3 sections of the test: reading 800 math 800
and writing 800.

Possible total 2400.They take the end zero off so 221 means 2210 which would be around 700 in each section. You can get into harvard with those scores.”

LOL! A family member just got into MIT. It’s a 95% paid MERIT scholarship. She was in the Johns Hopkins Program which our is in too. We private school. We are not impressed with NJ PUBLIC schools. They ALL do well with the SATs.

“It’s easy to make short, ridiculous comments when you have no idea what your talking about.”

LOL! Education is our business. Your probably a fan of Everday Math, Connected Math and NO Grammar past elementary school which is what PUBLIC SCHOOLS offer.

BTW, don’t privately e-mail me with your insulting garbage. Demoncrats LOVE people like you. I can see where the “fat man” ikes you. You are more than content with DUMBED DOWN KIDS.

Thank goodness for PRIVATE svhools in NJ to keep scores UP!

ALL the PUBLIC schools in NJ need to be shut down and vouchers offered.

It’s too bad you kids were too dumb to get into Johns Hopkins Gifted and Talented Program. THEN you would see how FOOLISH you are looking ......

Do not e-mail meprivately or I will continue to post it publically. I don’t want garbage in my FR e-mail.

BTW our kids have been taking the SAT since kindergarten. It is a NATION WIDE comparison. To get into the Johns Hopkins Program for the Gifted and Talented, you MUST score in the 95% range to atleast have the hope of being part of this program. Of the 5% that are eligible, about 2-3% actually get into the program. Up till 6th grade they will accept the NJASK but after 6th grade they REQUIRE the SAT of eligibility. In 6th grade ALL have to take the SAT and if they fall into the 95% range, then they take another test to see if they canquaily for the Johns Hopkins Program. It's an elite group.

We don't waste our time with the PSAT since we know already that ours will be going onto college. In fact, other younger cousins have gotten PERFECT SCORES on the SAT. They have ALL gone Ivy League and wouldnt consider a school like Rutgers.

BTW, do you know the difference between the SAT and the PSAT?

•Realize that SAT is the MOST important standardized test that counts toward college. PSAT does not count toward college and will not remain in your records.

•2
Although PSAT does NOT count toward college, it is the National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (NMSQT). If you do well on it, you will qualify for this scholarship.

•3
There are 7 test dates that you can choose from for SAT. There are only 2 test dates for PSAT. Also PSAT is ONLY taken by Sophomores and Juniors. The NMSQT will only count for Juniors.

•4
SAT consists of 10 section and almost 4 hours of just testing. PSAT will only consist of 5 sections and last for almost 3 hours. This is not including the sign in, instructions, breaks, etc.

•5
SAT will contain an essay writing section while the PSAT will not contain an essay. However, other than that, the Critical Reading, Math, and Writing section will be identical.

•6
You must take the SAT on a Saturday, but PSAT taking times and dates will vary depending on schools and locations.

It’s no wonder you wanted them to take the PSAT since no writing is required and it is EASIER. In NJ PUBLIC schools, grammar ends in elementary schools and it SHOWS. They can barely write and colleges complain bitterly at how illiterate and inarticulate these kids are.

Yes, be impressed with the PSAT and Rutgers! People like you reduce the competition for better colleges.

“You are a liar. You are afraid to publish it.”

I don't need to republish FACTs known to intelligent people.

“When it’s a Star Ledger Letter to the Editor you’ll hear about. And it won’t be mentioned on this site.
I was wrong to call you learning disabled you’re just plain STUPID and I seriously doubt anyone related to you scored perfect SAT’s.That would definitely be news worthy.”

LOL! Now you endorse the Star Ledger? LOL!!!! No LIBERAL BIAS there, right? LOL! LIBERALS love people like YOU!

Yes, always resort the name calling when FACTS escape you or you don't like them. Every Obama butt head does that so you're not alone.

In the private school my daughter attends it happens all the time - PERFECT S.A.T. scores as well as a TRADITION in our family with our cousins. Just because your kids couldn’t get a PERFECT S.A.T. score, doesn't mean it can't happen or you need to be so obvious about being a sour pus.
It did make the news but you wouldn't be the type to want to read “NEWS” like that. Heck the PSAT is what your kids took and wound up at Rutgers - LOL! The PSAT is for kids NOT looking to go to college.

“In fact if that is true why don’t you call the news or newspaper send them copies of their scores and let everyone know how they were educated. Be great for this site. BUT IT’S A LIE.”

I don't need to. You can just as easily do a search on google or any search engine you like. I feel NO NEED to impress people as YOU try to do! LOL!!!! It's awesome to as as it is to YOU. We EXPECT that.

“I’m sending copies of your posts with my letter.PLEASE feel free to share ALL of MY POSTS.”

Good! Have a ball!

“FYI I only found this “site” because I wanted to know the PSAT cut off scores and your site had the list. When I read the garbage that you wrote I HAD TO SAY SOMETHING.”

Go back to your LIBERAL website.

BTW have you ever tried a SEARCH ENGINE? A search engine could have told you THAT. You do know what a SEARCH ENGINE IS, right? Or is that over you head? Honestly, people at THIS website don't have to ask OTHERS when they can do their OWN SEARCH. You are definitely at the WRONG website. Go find a LIBERAL one and you can enjoy your foolishness with others and have a home there.

No, I don't want my family associated with someone like YOU. It was tempting for a second to give you LINKS, yes that is PLURAL with their accomplishment and notice by papers about their PERFECT S.A.T. scores. We are particular with whom we share our accomplishments with and you are NOT someone we want to be linked up with. Post that too!

Now, run along. Go back to your dumbed down liberal friends. In the future, feel free to USE a SEARCH engine such as one of these for your PSAT information:

http://www.google.com

http://www.excite.com

etc.

Look up what you need and do a search on those that scored PERFECT S.A.T.. You'll find them listed and photographed in papers. Yours won't be there but you can admire others.

Toodles!
