So I just got my PSAT score back and I got a 1400. I'm pretty happy with it, but can someone explain what percentile that might put me in or how it compares to others? I want to know where I stand.
Hey there! A 1400 is a fantastic score on the PSAT - you should definitely be proud of your performance. To give you a sense of where that score places you, the PSAT is scored on a scale of 320 to 1520. This score of 1400 puts you well above the average, usually landing in the 95th percentile or higher. This means that you scored better than about 95% of the students who took the test! Each year the percentiles can shift slightly, but a 1400 consistently ranks in the very top bracket. Great job, and use this as a boost of confidence as you prepare for the SAT or ACT!
