<p>Well my combined score was 155. I hadn't studied a day in my life, and I was given no instructions for taking the actual test. So that being said I answered every question, when if I had known I would have skipped quite a few. (embarrassing I know) But I was just wondering how much of an impact that probably made. Thanks a bunch!</p>
<p>If you have a score sheet, it should tell you how many you got wrong and if you lost points because of wrong answers.</p>
<p>Thanks! I’ll try to see if I can find it!</p>
<p>Take some practice tests and you’ll get that score up in no time. I’d recommend studying this summer and taking it as a sophomore. While it won’t count towards National Merit, it will help you to get a feel for how you would do when fully prepared come junior year. I worked through about 5 PSAT prep books and went from a 205 to a 230 on the real thing.</p>
<p>Thanks! I’ve learned so much this year, and studied 
I’m confident that if I took it today I could get at least 190!</p>
<p>As far as I know, the PSAT has no hold on college. Just study hard for the ACT and take it multiple times.</p>
<p>The PSAT may not directly influence college admissions, but it affects National Merit status - which may boost your admissions chances/financial aid considerably depending on the school.</p>
