Hi guys, been prepping for my PSAT and I'm aiming high. But just curious, what's the highest score one could get on this test? Is it still 1520 or did they change it recently?
You're correct that the highest possible score on the PSAT is 1520. The test is scored on a scale of 320 to 1520. This scoring accounts for the fact that the PSAT is a bit shorter and slightly easier than the SAT. For your reference, the sections include Evidence-Based Reading, Writing, and Math.
Keep in mind that the PSAT's role is more of a practice for the SAT and for qualification in the National Merit Scholarship Program than for college admissions. Good luck with your test preparations!
