How closely did your PSAT score match your SAT score?

Test Preparation SAT Preparation
21

<p>164 to 1720. </p>

<p>Less than “projected,” actually.</p>

22

<p>PSAT (11)
CR - 71
M - 80
W - 76
Total - 227</p>

<p>March SAT (11)
CR - 680
M - 790
W - 800
Total - 2270</p>

<p>So my PSAT and SAT totals are the same, but the breakdown is slightly different (30 less on reading, 10 less on math, 40 better on writing)</p>

</p>

<p>PSAT scores are slightly lower than what you get on your SATs. I’m not sure if you got it, but my school posted a little print out of the “projections.”</p>

<p>My 164 translated to mid 1700s.</p>

24

<p>10th: 179
11th: 200
11th SAT: M: 800, CR, 670, W 780 combined: 2250</p>

<p>Yeah…that was a 250 point increase. 50 increase on the math, 170 on the writing, and only 30 on the CR. Gotta improve that CR.</p>

I’m not sure if you actually read my post. The thread is asking how close your PSAT score is to your SAT score. I got 227 and 2270. So in my case, the two scores are the same.</p>

26

<p>

</p>

<p>But they are not on the same scale. All I am saying is that the PSATs are slightly lower than what they “project” your SAT scores to be. So, your 227 and 2270 might look the same (giving a zero). However, the 227 might project to a 2350 and your scores do not “match.”</p>

<p>

Our school definitely didn’t tell us about projecting SAT scores from the PSAT. All I know is:</p>

<p>-227 is 99th percentile on the PSAT, and good enough for NMSF in New York
-2270 is 99th percentile on the SAT, and good enough for most colleges (although I’m retaking to improve CR)
-Add a “0” to 227, and you get 2270</p>

<p>Soph:
PSAT: 216
SAT: 2160</p>

<p>Junior:
PSAT: 237
SAT: 2320</p>

<p>So pretty close I’d say.</p>

29

<p>205 PSAT to 2030 SAT
I guess I should’ve studied more…</p>

30

<p>Don’t be discouraged if you don’t score as well as you want on the PSAT. I know a lot of peopel whose PSAT equivalents were much lower that their actual SAT scores.</p>

31

<p>Total Score : 2120
PSAT Junior 1980---- actually you know—198 …
Outcome: +140</p>

32

<p>Very closely.</p>

<p>PSAT: 234
SAT: 2350</p>

<p>Didn’t practice for PSAT. Did study for SAT.</p>

33

<p>wasn’t really close…</p>

<p>197 or so PSAT</p>

<p>2130 Jan SAT
2250 March SAT</p>

<p>no prep for any</p>

34

<p>10th PSAT 194
11th PSAT 207
11th SAT 2250</p>

<p>There really isn’t that much of a correlation</p>

35

<p>11th PSAT: 1940
11th SAT: 2220</p>

36

<p>D took a prep class for both:
PSAT 212
SAT 2220</p>

<p>She took the ACT about 2 weeks after the SAT, just because she was fresh off the prep class and got a 34.</p>

37

<p>11th PSAT: 201
11th SAT: 2210</p>

<p>I did a few of the Blue Book practice tests and reviewed all the answers. I’m happy that I was able to raise my score without taking an expensive class, etc. =)</p>

38

<p>11th psat: 214
11th sat: 2130</p>

39

<p>11th PSAT: 223 70/80/73
11th SAT: 2310 790/720/800</p>

<p>Distribution totally different, probably because I focused on Math for the PSAT and CR/W for SAT.</p>

40

<p>10th PSAT: 160 something?
11th PSAT: 186
March SAT: 2010</p>
