220 on PSAT - what does this mean?

<p>I'm a sophomore student (female) in high school and I just received my PSAT score of 220- 80 on Math, 70 on Critical Reading, and 70 on Writing. I know I made some very silly mistakes on the Critical Reading/Writing and will be working on that to improve it.</p>

<p>My school isn't providing any guidance on how to decipher what your PSAT scores so I thought this would be a good place to get some feedback - would this be considered a "good" score? Where would I fall in terms of standings?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>@in2llect, this is what would be considered somewhere between a very good and exceptionally good score. Good enough I would be careful that you don’t sound too much like you’re making a #humblebrag. The rough rule of thumb is to add a zero at the end of each score to translate to the equivalent SAT score. That’s a 2200. Not to shabby. </p>
