<p>Well, I am a freshman in High Schools. I got my PSAT scores yesterday. Here they are:
Total: 193
CR: 57
Math: 80
Writing: 56 (didn't finish. Got 1 out of 5 on last 5 questions)</p>
<p>Do you guys think I am on track for National Merit Finalist when I become a Junior?</p>
<p>I think you have a good shot. I got 195 Soph. year, so you’re well ahead of me.</p>
<p>And despite the score above, my Junior score is in the 99th percentile. If I can do it, you can DEFINITELY do it!</p>
<p>im a junior, idk what i got yet but as a sophmore i got a 178. math- 68 CR/W- 55… but on my SAT last month i got a 2150 math- 790 reading 650 w- 710… you definitely have a chance… im hoping for a fat 220 on the psat!</p>
<p>195 as a freshman is a good score. If you are in Texas, this year’s cutoff was 219.</p>
<p>My son improved 29 points from Sophomore PSAT to this year’s test that counted (220)…so yes, can be done with some effort.</p>
<p>Definitely on track, probably even for a 2350+ if you put in a lot of effort.</p>
<p>Thanks guys, that boosted my confidence.</p>
<p>4 of my friends got like 205 as Freshman o.o, so I felt like I had a bad score.</p>
<p>you’re totally on track- i got a 213 sophomore year, a 229 junior year and a 2350 on the sat with little prep work, so your score will go up naturally with time. if your sophomore score is still lower than you’d like then you have a year to prepare for the junior psat, so you don’t have to worry about this at all for a while :)</p>
