<p>Freshman: 153
Sophomore: 189 (36 point increase)
Junior: Want 220 (31 point increase)</p>

<p>Hi I was wondering if you think its possible to go from 189 to a 220 in 1 year on the PSAT. When i took it in 9th grade I scored a 153 and i had not studied or knew anything about the test. In 10th grade I scored a 189 and I knew the format of the test but I had not done any practicing. Do you think in one year I could get it up to a 220 with studying and practice tests/booklets? I want to get National Merit Semi-Finalist</p>

<p>It is definitely possible…Through collegeboard, you can order the past PSAT tests for practice…</p>

<p>Yeah its definitely possible I did some studying and went from a 195 to a 221</p>

4

<p>197 to 222 for me, so definitely possible. Sign up for the email Question of the Day at collegeboard, and take some practice tests.</p>

<p>It’s good that you’re taking the initiative now… I got a 175 in my Sophomore year, but after that horrible score I had the motivation to study all summer and into Junior year. It definitely paid off; I made a 44 point improvement (scored a 219 in Junior year, which barely makes the cutoff for my state).</p>

<p>However, the only issue I see here is that you may not be able to make a huge improvement because some of the improvement I made probably came from taking the test a second time; there is usually some sort of improvement that comes about if you take a test more than once. However, you have already done this (you took it in Freshman and Sophomore year). But don’t worry, for one thing a 189 in Sophomore year is a hell of a lot better than the 175 I scored Sophomore year, so if you study you’ll make 220 no problem.</p>

<p>thank you :)</p>
