Do you think most kids with 1190 will end up with 1590/NMS?

Not true. Kid may end up in 1500s with prep. My kid has already raised hers by about 300 points as a junior. A lot of variables, including math level when first took, timing issues, and prep. It’s a good score for a ninth grader and shows ability to prep to a higher scores.

Doesn't mean it's not true. It just means a lot can happen and do happen between 9th and 11th grade.

It’s absolutely untrue that that’s what it means. No one knows where the student will end up and it was an obnoxious and patently false statement. Furthermore, with test optional, even if student doesn’t greatly improve that score, it doesn’t necessarily mean they won’t be a competitive applicant.

No, that’s mathematically impossible. What a strange question.

Then what good is your answer to OP's question? Just another humble brag. It's not about YOUR kid.

Your response was as false as mine because no one knows for sure as you stated.

My DC is in private and took the PSAT 8/9 in 9th grade. DC had an online account that showed percentiles compared to all the other 9th graders that took it that year and a scaled score to show what they would have scored on PSAT 10, PSAT, and SAT.

If your child has an account you can see how the 1100 scales and the percentile.

These are the percentiles for 11th-grade students.
