<p>How much does each step usually increase/decrease by?</p>
<p>Sophomore Year PSAT->
Junior Year PSAT->
SAT->
Another SAT</p>
<p>is there a general trend?
just wondering.</p>
<p>It’s different for everyone, but the collegeboard does have a few parameters on that topic. Googling helps.</p>
<p>1st PSAT- 138 (72 M 26 CR 40W)
2nd PSAT- 151 (68M 42 CR 41 W)
1st SAT- 2070 ( 790M 550 CR 730 W) june
2nd SAT - 1990 ( 700M 600 CR 690 W) nov
3rd SAT - 2280 ( 800M 680 CR 800W) dec</p>
<p>@SamSylvester : sorry for not answering, but - @Rivstein - What do you mean by the “parameters” that CB has on his topic?</p>
<p>Based on my own personal experience,</p>
<p>Sophomore PSAT: 189
Junior PSAT: 223 (+34 from sophomore PSAT)
Junior ACT: 34 (2280 equivalent) (+~50 from junior PSAT)</p>
<p>Scores tend to go up as one gets older, simply because he or she knows more. I barely prepped for any of those tests; I believe my PSAT got higher junior year was because I just been in school longer.</p>
<p>Hope this helps!</p>

<p>That’s very enviable, Studious. :)</p>
<p>^ I wouldn’t have imagined having those scores a year ago. I think I just prepared the right way. I may write a guide later on to help others achieve similar success.</p>
<p>I think most guide writers have no real great prep. They are just extremely brilliant</p>
<p>@Studious, a guide like SilverTurtle’s would be appreciated by other students. :)</p>
