<p>How good of an indicator is the PSAT on your SAT score? Is there an average conversion chart?</p>
<p>take your psat and divide by 1.5</p>
<p>For the "old" SAT, add you math and verbal scores and multiply by 10
For the "new" SAT, take you total score and multiply by 10 (but remember, the new SAT is going to have an essay)</p>
<p>This year's (October 2004) PSAT will more accurately reflect the "new" SAT scores because the PSAT has been changed to remove analogies, quantitive comparisions, etc</p>
<p>I went from 221 (2210) to 2310 for SAT plus writing. I think most people i know went up fairly significantly (100 points plus)</p>
<p>Look on your PSAT score report sheet, around where it lists your percentile score for each individual subject. There should be an SAT score range converter thingy there.</p>
<p>Haven't taken SAT (new or old) yet, but I improved 19 points from 03 PSAT to 04 PSAT. Which equates to +190 with same amount of studying put into each test. Which means school actually taught me something! Or I just got smarter. :)</p>
<p>I don't know how accurate it actually is at predicting. On my psat i got a 1470, then the first time I took the sat I got a 1420, then taking it again with no prep at all I got a 1510. Also on the writing I got a 72 on the psat but ended up with a 770. It really isnt that accurate.</p>
<p>i guess it's pretty accurate, but you can always go higher than PSAT if you work hard. I mean, don't think of your PSAT as your ultimate limit.</p>
<p>I don't think it's that accurate. I got like 193 on PSAT, and 1550 composite on the SAT.</p>
<p>Oh, and I didn't study for the PSAT and did study for the SAT, but not a whole lot. Basically, I went over some vocabulary, reviewed math concepts and took a few practice tests.</p>
