Not that it matters but just out of curiosity, how many students get perfect scores on PSAT?
Any idea or link?
Hi, Does anyone knows percentage of perfect or nearly perfect PSAT scores? I’ve heard of perfect SAT and ACT but yet to hear about anyone with perfect PSAT so curious.
Anyone? My apologies if I’m being annoying and you don’t want to respond. In that case just ignore this thread.
It might just be that no one knows. Especially this year with the new scoring system.
Probably. I thought that College Board posts these statistics and I can’t find it but may be someone else did. Thanks!
“Perfect” 2400 SAT scores is around 500 per year, according to the college board. I think the PSAT number is going to be lower than that but roughly around that number. (My guess is that the number is lower because the SAT can be sat for more than once, which increases the odds that a 2400 can be achieved whereas the PSAT has one sitting.) One quora response stated that there are 100 people who score 240 on the PSAT, but that sounds low to me. My niece scored a 240, so that’s one, but I have heard that she has not yet gotten a 2400 on her SAT practices.
I asked a guidance counselor and according to her, way more students score perfect ACT and SAT than PSAT. Her data shows less than 100 per year as well. About 500 score perfect on SAT and around 1,000 score perfect on ACT. She doesn’t know about this year’s stats but predicting even fewer perfect PSAT’s this year.
Why the deep curiosity on a perfect PSAT?
Why not? We dissect everything else on CC.
This year it is relevant to how high the cutoffs will be in the high cutoff states. I don’t think it will be vastly greater than in the past because there were two questions which could have been used to reduce the number of perfect scores but were not. If there were thousands of perfect scores in a state, CB would not have let those errors get a perfect score.
