Eep. PSAT scores are finally back. 80-64-80.

Perfect score in verbal. Two incorrect answers in writing skills, zero points lost. Two omitted, six incorrect in math, one point lost. 99th percentile in verbal and writing. 90th percentile in math.

Score 224 out of 240=99th percentile overall. 99th percentile=qualified to possibly become a National Merit semifinalist. Eep.

First AHS qualifier in at least ten years. Maybe more. Faculty=excited.

Because of guidance counselor's incompetence, extra paperwork must be filed to explain lateness of scores. Deadline for the late scores to be sent in to the NMSQT people=today. Day counselor received and faxed the scores=today. Leap Day=godsend.

224. Perfect verbal. Eep. This is unexpected, to say the least. Eep.
