Is there a strong correlation between PSAT and SAT?

Test Preparation

I’m unclear on this. From what I have read it seems that if you got a 1300 on the PSAT then you are projected by to do similarly on the SAT?

I believe that the 1300 is a prediction of what you would have gotten on the SAT if you had taken it on the same day that you took the PSAT. Since many students take the SAT a year later, they often score higher on the SAT than the PSAT because they are farther along in their studies and have perhaps done more test prep and practice tests.

@BunnyBlue thanks.

As related as any practice test score.

5

well PSAT is out of 1520 rather than 1600 so expect to do better

6

They are sufficiently related that combined performance results in merit scores.

Not sure if this helps but I got a 1310 on my PSAT, but a 1490 on the SAT
