<p>what are the benefits of being commended on the psat? it's a pretty simple question. beyond having another thing to list on college applications, does it have any significant benefits? and do colleges see your actual psat score or just your status as commended?</p>
<p>I'm not sure that they see anything from your PSAT, though I could be wrong... Colleges don't care about your PSAT, just your SAT.</p>
<p>I don't really think PSAT scores matter at all except for scholarships and maybe getting accepted to schools that like to brag about having a lot of national merit semifinalists and stuff. So yea, commended doesn't really seem like it matters, since colleges can just look at your SAT score anyways.</p>
<p>yeah i figured as much. o well, i can still put it as an achievement on my apps.</p>
