PSAT v. SAT

<p>Which is more common, people having a better SAT than PSAT or the other way around? I was just wondering because I often see people posting their scores, and it seems more common that people do better on their SAT.</p>

<p>I, on the other hand, have done much worse on my SAT. Here are my scores:</p>

<p>Sopmore PSAT - 224 (68CR 80M 76W)
Junior PSAT - 227 (76CR 80M 71W)</p>

<p>Junior SAT (January) - 2120 (670CR 800M 650W)
Junior SAT (March) - 2120 (680CR 720M 720W)</p>

<p>Is there any significant difference in the difficulty level of the SAT and PSAT, or do I just not have the ability to stay focused for the longer test (lol)?</p>

<p>I actually found the PSAT to be substantially harder, which is actually why I think that it is really good preparation for the SAT. I didn't do any prep for the SAT besides taking the PSAT my sophomore and junior years, and my SAT score was significantly better.</p>

<p>Sophomore PSAT: 179
CR: 63, Math: 54, Writing: 62</p>

<p>Junior PSAT: 190
CR: 61, Math: 64, Writing: 65</p>

<p>Junior SAT: 2040
CR: 670, Math: 720, Writing: 650</p>

<p>PSAT is definitely easier. I think the math is 1 year below the SAT math. also, no essay. I think the CR and W MC questions are comparable though</p>

<p>Sophomore: 198
Junior: 214 </p>

<p>SAT: 2090</p>

<p>I found the SAT harder than the PSAT, yet got a better score on it.</p>

<p>PSAT: Junior year, 182. I don't remember my sophmore score but it was around there.</p>

<p>SAT: 1930.</p>

<p>I thought the PSAT was harder when I was taking it, but I ended up doing better.</p>

<p>Sophomore: 206
Junior: 228</p>

<p>SAT: 2230</p>

<p>I thought the PSAT was harder at the time.</p>

<p>PSAT (Junior): 225 (80 M, 77 CR, 68 W)
SAT: 2320 (800 M, 730 CR, 790 W)</p>

<p>I must be the only one here who didn't take the PSAT as a sophomore (I didn't have a sophomore year).</p>

<p>i did better on the psat.</p>

<p>PSAT: 214 (I forget the individual area scores.
SAT: 2080 (690 R, 690 M, 700 W)</p>

<p>I've even taken the SAT twice and those are my highest scores in each area. I know, not very good.</p>

<p>I got a 2040 on the PSAT and a 2080 on the SAT. My scores stayed in the same ranges:</p>

<p>PSAT CR:710 SAT: 720
PSAT W: 750 SAT: 800
PSAT M: 580 SAT: 560</p>

<p>I thought the W on the 2006 PSAT had an harsh curve: -2 was a 75.</p>

<p>Soph. PSAT: 73W, 80M, 69CR Composite 222
Junior PSAT: 80W, 80M, 72CR Composite 232
March SAT: 770W, 760M, 760CR Composite 2290
June SAT: 800W, 780M, 770CR Composite 2350</p>

<p>I didn't find the PSAT easier, but checking out the scores I got, it would seem like the SAT CR is easier and the SAT Math is harder (though I think both times it was just a few dumb errors).</p>

<p>Sophomore PSAT- 198
Junior PSAT- 209</p>

<p>Junior (January)- 2010
Junior (June)- 2160</p>

<p>PSAT is way easier. 187 PSAT, but a 2120 SAT</p>

<p>Sophomore PSAT: 196
Junior PSAT: 208</p>

<p>Junior SAT (November): 2030
Junior SAT (May): 2220</p>

<p>It's funny, I seem to feel less confident leaving the testing center after a better performance. I felt great after my sophomore PSAT and my first SAT, but the scores weren't that great. After my junior PSAT and my second SAT however, I felt miserable - certain of having done worse - but on those occasions I've done better (but by no means very well).</p>

<p>relitively the same difficultty i think....one is just longer</p>

<p>freshman PSAT - 19x
sophomore PSAT - 204
junior PSAT - 229</p>

<p>SAT March - 2190
SAT June - 2310</p>

<p>lol march was a bomb....i showed my real potential in june</p>
