<p>I got my PSAT scores back a while ago, and I was really angry and felt like crying. I did bad in math, critical reading, and in writing. Everyone else did better than me. I just never wanted to take a test again. So I have one question. </p>
<p>Will the PSAT determine how I do on the SAT?</p>
<p>The SAT is very much like the PSAT. In fact I’d say other than in length and the essay it’s all the same. However if you work hard, dedicate 2 hours per day to the sat then you’ll do fine.</p>
<p>The PSAT is just a rough estimate of how you’ll do on the SAT, so if you keep studying and don’t let your PSAT score get to you, then I’m sure you’ll be able to do much better on the SAT.</p>
<p>LOL same here. I got a pretty bad grade on my PSAT, but my SAT was a whole different score. So take a SAT before crying your eyes out</p>
<p>Usually people don’t prepare for the PSAT and it is a joke representation IMO…the test is just a third of the real thing. I got 3-4 measly questions wrong on one section of I believe on the PSAT and my score dropped below 70, on the real SAT, that is 700+ on the math, 720+ on W, and 760+ on CR. So there you go, the PSAT is very rough, that is why they give broad ranges on what you may do on the real thing. If you truly care enough, study for it, and then take the real thing. If you expect a mere retake to get your score higher, then that is a problem, you need to practice.</p>
<p>Yeah I second that ^</p>
<p>PSAT: 50’s on reading and writing with a low 60’s on math
SAT: 60’s on reading and writing and high 70s on math</p>
