So I’ve been taking the new SAT on Khan Academy in preparation for the new PSAT, and i need some feedback on how my scores look. The first test i got 1300(Math-650 and Reading /Writing-650). The second test i had 1370(Math-1370 and Reading/Writing-720). The third test i got 1400(Math-670 and Reading/Writing-730)
Now, keep in mind i’m taking I’m taking this on my PC which affects my Math score( I run out of time). There is one more SAT and another PSAT that i can take again for practice. I will print and take the practice PSAT test before the actual one. I know the 1400 is not good enough for NMF in Texas, but i’m hoping that the decrease in difficulty and time pressure will help.
I want to know from more experienced people how close my score is to NMF status.

@reDIOS Keep in mind that the PSAT is on a 1520 scale. The SAT has some more difficult additional questions and is on 1600 scale. No one really knows what the cut off for this new test will be. Prepscholar is predicting 1370 for Texas another site (http://publicuniversityhonors.com/2013/12/11/psat-national-merit-scholar-qualifying-scores-and-sat-equivalencies-by-state/) is saying 1461 for Texas.
I personally think prepscholar’s prediction may be a bit low but the other sit is way high but that is just my gut feel and I have nothing to back it up with.
I think you are close. Please take the time to understand why you are missing the questions that you are. Have you completed all the sections in the Khan SAT guided practice sections not just the practice test? If not you need to do that too. Also in September go to your GC and ask for the PSAT practice book guide. We are all hoping that there will be new practice PSAT test questions in it as there have been in past years.
My sons just completed a PSAT prep class and take the official PSAT practice test on Saturday so I may find out what they prep class is predicting then.
I’ve completed all the questions in the Reading/Writing Section, but not the Math yet. Yeah, i’ll go back and check on all the questions i missed. I’ll remember to ask my GC if they have psat practice problems. I didn’t know that college board always give it to them. I hope the cut off in Texas snit that high; Thanks for the help.
