PSAT vs SAT

<p>Ok, so I know that the PSAT is scored a little bit differently than the SAT, but tell me, is the SAT a good indicator of your PSAT score, or vise versa?</p>

<p>I have known people to get exactly the same score (with a 0 added on the SAT) or else very close. My PSAT---> first SAT was +40.</p>

<p>Sophmore PSAT - 224
Junior PSAT - 227
Single sitting SAT - 2120 (I guess I just can't focus for more than two and a half hours :(...although, I am hoping for a better score on the SAT I took last week)</p>

<p>PSAT- 198
SAT- 2190, 1470/1600 (One sitting)</p>

<p>I did take the Princeton Review course for the SAT after I received my PSAT scores but I don't think it helped all that much. I think the only difference was that I studied more for the SAT.</p>

<p>What is the PSAT score necessary to be considered a first round semifinalist.
What is the score for commended status? Thanks</p>

<p>This past year, Commended Cutoff was 200. State cutoffs for semi-finalist varied by state.</p>

<p>aight guys, thanks.
im pretty nervous.</p>

<p>Don't be nervous. If you can get National Merit Status, great. If not, no big deal...it's practice.</p>

<p>I did a lot worse on my PSAT than my SAT (I wasn't commended even). Really, do a little prep, and don't do anything on the day before or day of (it'll worsen the anxiety).</p>
