<p>I just received my PSAT scores today and achieved a 191 (V62, M62, W67). How much should I expect my score to increase (assuming I prep for next year? Moreover, how well is this grade for sophomores? </p>
<p>Any other sophomores want to contribute their numbers?</p>
<p>Look, as long as you work hard and study SAT tricks, you can increase all the way up to 240. Its definitely possible.</p>
<p>i got a 186..... 53 CR (grrr) 64 math....and 69 writing.....im hoping to get 217+ next year</p>
<p>205 here...was pretty pleased with it until i heard about a friend (soph too) who got 231 <em>sigh</em> some people are just too smart</p>
<p>219 here. wow 231? that's way too good.</p>
<p>as a sophomore last year, I scored a 199. I took a online SAT prep course cause I wanted to take the SATs early in October this year, and got a 2200. I got my PSAT scores today and got a 228. So that was almost a 30 pt jump. I was surprised, but definitely happy about my score :) so anything is possible for you</p>
<p>I got about a 187 last year and a mid-220 this year (so nmsf) without much prep. I took a P/SAT prep class early in the fall but it didn't do much since we just reread the college board official SAT book (though I guess I wouldn't have read it at all if I hadn't taken the class). Otherwise, I did no prep at all. I'm sure if you study you'll definitely improve. Average point increases among my friends were 20-30 pts so you should be fine.</p>
<p>Amazed I got a 238.</p>
<p>not exactly the same, but plenty of PSAT score improvement stories here:

<p>My S's soph to junior PSAT improved 21 points, with the help of SAT studying.</p>
<p>I got a 219 last year (225 this year :/ + 6 points.. not that bad I guess)</p>
<p>but a friend got 190 last year and this year she got 224 :D</p>
<p>The majority of my friends who were 199+ in sophmore year improved by 10pts/+, and my friends who were lower improved by even more</p>
<p>Sophomore PSAT: 214
Junior PSAT: 232</p>
<p>A 192 index. 74 M, 65 W, 53 CR.</p>
<p>Just prep the normal way you would for SAT and you'll be fine. I did the PR prep PSAT on the back of their 11 tests, the free PSAT practice test that collegeboard gives out, and some error ID drills from PR (that's my weakest area) and got a 32 point increase.</p>
<p>Sophomore: 206 (80 M, 66 R, 60 W)
Junior: 238 (80 M, 78 R, 80 W)</p>
<p>Soph:197
Jr:225</p>
<p>Study Hardcore--I didn't open the book Jr. Year until the night before, and I think I would've done better if I had.</p>
<p>10th grade: 219
11th grade: 231</p>
<p>Just do a lot of practice PSAT tests and go over them so you (hopefully) don't make the same mistakes again...and try to relax</p>
<p>10th: 180
11th: 223</p>
<p>43 point improvement. Don't worry. When i got my 180 last year, i was like "holy crap" but i guess i shouldn't have worried too much</p>
<p>10th: 227 - 78cr 76m (damn curve) 73 w
11th(goal): 240</p>
<p>I was pretty pumped about getting a 227. The only prep I had was doing a practice one the weekend before... and reading CC. :D</p>
<p>With a 191 sophomore year, I think it will be easy to increase your score by at least 150 points naturally (no prep books or anything, just school)</p>
<p>9th grade : 216
10th: 240</p>
<p>I don't know how I did it - I didn't study at all in September and October, only a little during the summer. I guess some studying still pays off.</p>

<p>I definitely agree with you. My score went up 330 points from sophomore to junior year. I didn't study, and I stayed up until 2 or 3 in the morning the night before, so you will probably score a little higher just because of the experience and knowledge you gain from a year of school.</p>
