<p>Everyone sets different standards for themselves. What, in your opinion, is a 'good score' on the PSAT? (240 doesn't count hehe) Just curious. :)</p>

2

<p>In my opinion, anything above 200 is a "good score"</p>

3

<p>197 is 95th percentile. That seems pretty good to me.</p>

4

<p>commended is good
nmsf is great</p>

5

<p>that will predict a good score on the SAT? i would say 210+</p>

6

<p>For me a good score was higher than sophmore year (178).....I got a 193 so I was extremely happy....especially since alot of people's scores went down....lol</p>

7

<p>I set a goal of 230. I got 232, should have gotten 236, but I'm pleased. It just depends on the person. A good score for most people is anything that get's recognition. For me, I set the bar higher.</p>

8

<p>a good score is the 90th percentile or above (~190?)</p>

<p>anything commened and above is awesome</p>

9

<p>id be content with at least commended</p>

<p>of course i was no where near this when i took PSATs junior year</p>

<p>oh well</p>

<p>has anyone taken real practice test from college board sinc the PSAT and find it difficult to get the same score, i got 2160, 700 math , 710 verbal and 750 writing, for some reason i cant get the verbal and math scores up there, verbal sometimes but thats just luck of the test in which case it can go from 630-730, then math i just always get mid 600s, anyone else have this probelem, i think maybe the PSAT was easier, cause i know the curves weren't very lenient, except maybe writing...</p>

11

<p>A "good score" on the PSAT is the semi-finalist cut-off. The PSAT is just a practice test for the SAT, so the score itself doesn't mean anything unless you get semi-finalist.</p>

12

<p>230+ .</p>

13

<p>anything good enough to get semifinalist.</p>

14

<p>185+ is excellent, anything beyond 200 is just geneouses and 225+ are the freaks!!</p>

15

<p>National merit commended or higher</p>

16

<p>220+ is good. That's in my state. But getting semifinalist is pretty good.</p>

17

<p>I would say a "good" score is over 200, a "great" score is over 220. Just my opinion.</p>

18

<p>a good score imo is 210 (equals to 2100, or kinda like a 1400 out of 1600, ratio wise, anyway)</p>

<p>a great score is 225+</p>

<p>its easy to improve when u have a crappy score, but the higher up u get, even one mistake can kill you ( i know, i missed 1 dang question in math and ended up losing 4 whopping points *sigh, if i didn't miss that, i would think i would be a shoo in for the semi finalist, but i'm left biting my nails instead. o well.)</p>
