Predict: 11-8-11 (30)
Getting a 12 or 13 is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay harder than I orginally thought, I know all these people whom I've always thought myself to be on par with in terms of "smarts" telling me they scored 12 11 13, or 12 10 12, and I'm thinking, hmmm...that seems to be the normal score for most ppl who study hard and who normally do well in school...oh how wrong I was, I don't know.

Oh snap!!! That looks a lot like my April score...11..6..11
Last time I think I projected 28-36 so I think I have to stick close to that....
PS 10-12
VR 10-12
BS 10-12
* These are ranges per section, in no way do I think I will make all of these high scores on the same test but stranger $hituff has happened...see my fall this April.
I'll say 31, considering how my last one turned out.
haha, this reminds me of when the kaplan instructors tell you to put your score up on the wall and look at it every day
so yea being the nerd that i am i did that - 37
umm i dont think that's happening so:
(10 - 10 - 12)
32
crossing my fingers!

crossing my fingers!Right now, I just want to get a 12 on the verbal. I've done so much for this stupid section, but I have never gotten past an 11 (low end of that too, around 10 wrong)

= 36
I would sell my soul for this score... anyone, anyone (Bueller)? I too am tethered in the 11 verbal range, but I feel really good about bio (hope theres lots of neuro on the form i get
). I'll consider it a miracle if I don't p*ss my pants during physical...right now I'm eating **** on that section.
Man, it is still a bit early for me to make a GOOD prediction...but, I would be very happy with: 11/10/11- 32 
That is what i am shooting for too. I am a long ways from it right now though. But my real bad sections are the sciences so I hope that a ton more studying will bring those sections up.RAD11 said:
Good luck

That's my aim...Verbal is pretty well taken care of I think...it's the other 2 that need work...and lots of it.
I'm gonna say 6M. This way I can only look up! No way I'm gonna jinx myself with this tread. Nice try guys. (knocks on wood).
(knocks on wood).I"m with you there, stuck at 11 now, which is better than beforeBXP said:
But my 10 wrong consists of like 6 wrong from 1 passage that I read to quickly; if I can somehow neutralize that horrible passage or just tell myself tos low down and understand, I think it can improve.
g'luck.
Wanted/Expected:
37 - (P: 13 V: 11 B: 13)
Dunno how the cards will play out, but thats what I'm workin towards.
Hopefully I'm on track to reach it.

Hmm I think I'm going to predict a range:
PS: 8-10
VR: 10-12
BS: 9-11
Overall: 27-33...
I don't even care about the WS this time around. Got an O the first time. I just realized that it doesn't matter... at all.

I'm not superstitious, I just know my best PT is still to come and I'll base it off that.luckycharms08 said:am i the only one too superstitious to make a prediction?
