Hey everyone, can anyone give me an estimate on what my final SAT score might be considering I got a 1090 on my PSAT? I feel like it isn't very high and I'm a bit stressed about it. Would love any insight.
Absolutely, happy to help. It's important to keep in mind that the PSAT serves primarily as a practice exam for the SAT, so your score can certainly improve by the time you take the full-fledged SAT. However, the scores on the PSAT and the SAT do often align quite closely. Especially so now that both tests are digital and have the same time constraints.
Based on the scoring models used, a 1090 on the PSAT might equate to approximately a 1210 on the SAT - give or take. Keep in mind that this is a rough estimate, and scores can fluctuate based on a multitude of factors.
That said, don't fret! My suggestion is to focus on your test preparation moving forward. Identify the areas you struggled with on the PSAT and prioritize them in your SAT studies. There's a variety of test prep resources available to help guide you, including the Bluebook™ app that offers full-length practice tests.
Remember, while a good SAT score can bolster your application, it's only one aspect that colleges consider. Focus on doing your best, and don't let it cause you undue stress. Good luck!
