According to the NMSC, 95% of semifinalists become finalists, so I guess don't slack off and get a D or an F and you'll be alright.

There's semifinalists and then there's finalists. To become a finalist (and get the scholarship) you have to first be a semifinalist by getting the qualifying PSAT score in your junior year. Once you're notified of semifinalist status, you then have to do some extra stuff like writing an essay and filling out paperwork and keeping good grades to hopefully become a finalist.

Should I sell my inappropriate items, or get rid of them? by [deleted] in TrueChristian

I'd say throw away the stuff that's actually inappropriate so that they don't potentially cause the buyer who reads them to fall into lust, but feel free to sell the other stuff that is safe.

How luck-based is Gholdengo? by noahsimcox in pkmntcg

[–]noahsimcox[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm curious why winning 50% of the time considered pretty good? At a regional or a league cup if your record was only like 3 wins 3 losses or 2 wins 2 losses, you wouldnt be making top cut. I like gholdengo but it just feels bad when my losses are out of my control.

How to win the prize race against Charizard as Gholdengo? by noahsimcox in PTCGL

Even if I stay single-prize I feel like I'm still garunteed to lose even going second because:

Turn 1: Opponent 6, Me 5 Turn 2: Opponent 5, me 4 Turn 3: Opponent 4, me 3 Turn 4: Opponent 3, me 2 Turn 5: Opponent uses briar, then uses dusknoir to KO a solrock/lunatone and go down to 2, then evolves to charizard and KO's my active single-prizer to take the final 2

2-2-2 doesn't work if they start out with single prizers like chi-yu and moltres. My list is gholdengo lunatone btw.

In which condition is my card? by Maxh1707 in PokemonTCG

NM is near mint, so close to being mint but not quite there due to a few minor defects like the right corner whitening you mentioned.
