<p>Hey, I've seen and heard quite a bit on CC about a person's PSAT scores, and how their SAT's actually turned out, usually a big difference it seems. So I thought that I'd be pretty interesting if people posted what their PSAT's were, and what their actual SAT scores ended up being.</p>
<p>p.s. forgive me if this has been brought up in the past</p>
<p>Psat: 196
Sat: 199, 198</p>
<p>it's been done a couple times before.
I went down and never made it back up.
PSAT junior year: 203
SAT junior year: 1970
SAT senior year: 1990</p>
<p>I didn't study at all for the PSAT, very little for the first SAT but I spent quite a lot of time prepping for the last SAT....</p>
<p>PSAT: 183</p>
<p>SAT (1st) - 1790
SAT (2nd) - 1990
SAT (3rd) - 2140.</p>
<p>I didn't practice for the PSAT or the 1st try on the SAT.</p>
<p>Junior PSAT: 191
Junior SAT: 1940
Senior SAT: 2010
Highest composite SAT = 2030 (I say this number when people ask me how I did. It makes me seem smarter :).)</p>
<p>So for my first SAT vs. PSAT, it was pretty accurate. However, I brought up my Math and Writing a bit on my 2nd attempt (CR went down by 20), and I broke 2000. So I think the PSAT is pretty accurate (at least for me).</p>
<p>PSAT fall sophomore - 172
PSAT fall junior - 192
SAT spring senior - 1880
SAT spring senior - 2150 (with prep)</p>
<p>I always do much better on the PSAT.
PSAT (soph): 223
PSAT (jun): 235
SAT (soph): 2110</p>
<p>Soph PSAT: 222
Jun PSAT: 214
SAT: 2390
If only the PSATs had been switched, I would've gotten NMSF, so it's a tiny bit annoying.</p>
<p>sophomore psat: 155
junior psat: 181
04/06 SAT's: 1840
06/06's SAT's: 1970ish
10/06 SAT's: 2080</p>
<p>it's all about the studying.</p>
<p>"If only the PSATs had been switched, I would've gotten NMSF, so it's a tiny bit annoying."</p>
<p>Who gives a crap, you got a freaking 2390! Congrats on the nice score.</p>
<p>Thanks. It's just that everybody makes a big deal about NMSF and puts them in the paper and they announce them at the awards ceremony, but practically nobody knows my SAT score, so a little recognition would've been nice. Whatever.</p>
<p>Here's several pages of data collected by Papa Chicken. <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=145009%5B/url%5D">http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=145009</a>
In the first post, he also links to the thread from the year before, which contains a lot of statistical analysis.</p>
<p>The PSAT was accurate for me. I didn't study for the PSAT or the SAT either time I took it (stupid, I know.)</p>
<p>PSAT Junior year: 210 (72CR/67M/71W)
SAT 1st time: 2100 (710/680/710)
SAT 2nd time: 2030 (740/630/700)</p>
<p>Psat - 1980
Sat - 2120</p>
<p>PSAT Spho: 156
PSAT Junior: 187
SAT 1st try: 176
SAT 2nd try: 190</p>
<p>PSAT- 197
SAT- 218</p>
<p>So no, PSAT was not accurate for me haha</p>
<p>PSAT Soph: 187
PSAT Junior: 186
SAT 1st try: 1810
SAT 2nd try [with no practice]: 2100</p>
<p>Psat Junior: 206(Don't remember my sophomore score)
SAT 1st try: 1980
SAT 2nd try: 2080</p>
<p>Soph PSAT: 187
Jun PSAT: 230
SAT: 2240</p>
<p>Some correlation I guess.</p>
<p>Junior PSAT: 205
SAT: 2210 (Tiny bit of math prep which only helped my score 30 points...)</p>
