Great Britain and Ireland (long attached to the European continent) were now islands, and cultural history was about to change. The Celtic people occupied great stretches of land across central Europe by 500 BC. They first arrived in Ireland around 300 BC, subsequently controlling and influencing this land that the powerful Roman culture never reached.
For juniors, the PSAT/NMSQT is a chance to get in the running for the National Merit Scholarships, although in New Jersey the competition is quite rough as our state traditionally requires one of the nationâs highest index scores (see the National Merit organizationâs website for more details).
The new SAT, on the other hand, will have a range of 200 to 800 for each section and a range of 400 to 1600 for your composite score. Your PSAT scores help predict your SAT scores, but the scale is shifted slightly lower to account for the fact that the PSAT is an easier test than the SAT. A perfect PSAT score, for instance, doesn't equate exactly to a perfect SAT score, but it does indicate that you're likely to score very highly. The new PSAT and new SAT share another similarity with their adoption of rights-only scoring.
