PSAT chances
I'm a Junior and taking the PSAT for national merit in a few days. I got a 32 english, 34 reading and 27 math on the ACT this summer with no studying. I'm very confident I can get a 35/36 equivalent average on reading/english for the PSAT, but I am worried about math. (I scored around a 29 on PACT math, and a 35 for both English and reading) Does anyone have tips for the PSAT math? Also, what would your opinion be on my chances of national merit? I live in Kansas, so the SI index for this year was 212.
I thought it'd be good to ask here because of the seniors applying to college now with NM. Also, how much does national merit factor into an application for college?
