psat 10

im a freshman and i got 1290

last year i got 1120 as 8th grader

am i cooked

yes bro
depends if u want to get in a good college.
1550 and above means good college and i think ur rate, u can go into okish college(unless u step it up)
but yes u kinda cooked

u can improve to 1450+ by the nmsqt next year if you practice a lot

for math just do khan academy n shit but english just read high-level vocab books in whatever genre you like

bru nmsqt is for juniors, you're a freshie--you have more than enough time to get a good score lol.

the max score on the PSAT is 1520, plus it doesn’t always translate super well. i did better on the SAT than i did on the PSAT

You are DONE

community college is for you

im gonna prove u haters wrong!

1550 depends on ur def of a good college, if you mean top 20 then yes you will probably need at least a 1500 but to get in ur local state flagship? depending on location (ie. not a state where the state flagship is a t20 like Michigan or California), you can get away with a much lower score and still get a very good quality education

have standards changed in the last few years or what

i had a 1500 and got into most of my picks + my #1 choice (a top school)
pre sure you just need decent enough scores to not get filtered, the extra curriculars are what really matters

i played a guy with the UCI tag in valo today

psat literally only mattets for nmsqt or whatever that scholarship is called doesnt matter a lot for college apps. j get a good sat score u can take it like 10 times and once ur above a threshold it doesnt matter anyways

i got into gt for cs with a 1400

Yeah as long as you get above average you can get into almost any school that you want that isn't a top 10

UC doesn’t take test scores

Honestly at this point SAT and ACT are kind of less important. Like for example schools like Cornell dont even care about it anymore. But also it doesn't hurt to get a 1500 or above.

1510 on the SAT is the threshold for all top IVY league schools.
sure, it might be cool to get an 1600 but as long as u get an 1510 they will consider ur application

Bump I need this

1290 on PSAT isn't bad at all, especially as a freshman (and like other people said, PSAT doesn't actually matter for college apps)

Also this isn't a guarantee, but I've noticed (this was true for me and I think most other people I asked) that your score on the actual SAT tends end up about 100-200 higher than your PSAT score, so if anything you're in a good spot

holy 1290 ? i only got 70-80 normally

light over 1420 ezz

ur chances are super super low. most people going into top ivy league schols have 1550 and above. The only way they will consider it if your curriculars are really really good

trust me i know
1510 is like a bar as long as u hit it ur fine they dont REALLY care how much higher u go
but if its the same application but one has a higher sat? ofc they are gonna take the higher one
source: i know a uni prof whos super involved in the applications for colledges and SATS
as long as u hit the mark ur fine
