<p>I have read the requirements for advancing to finalist from semifinalist in the PSAT/NMSQT competition. When they say "acheive SAT scores that confirm the PSAT score", what do they mean?</p>
<p>I received a 226 on my PSAT. What score do I need to get on the SAT in order to "confirm" my score? With two 800s, I am concerned about replicating my PSAT results on the SAT. </p>
<p>Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!</p>
<p>anyone have any insight at all?</p>
<p>Haha, don't worry about it.</p>
<p>They just want to make sure you didn't guess and get lucky on the PSAT. I think anywhere above a 2100 shouldn't bring up any questions.</p>
<p>I'm sure you'll do fine on the actual SAT with that excellent PSAT score.</p>
<p>They want to make sure you didn't just get lucky, as the above poster said, and they also don't want to make sure you cheated. Getting a 236 on the PSAT (at my high school, a lot of people cheated on the PSAT, because we had to squeeze a bunch of students in a cramped library), and then getting a 1900 on the SAT would be pretty suspicious...</p>
<p>So don't worry.</p>
