[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Isn’t the PSAT a different scale?  Max score is 1520, yes?  So not an apples to apples comparison. [/quote]
Due do the different ceilings, scores get a little wonky at the top end. However, scores are supposed to be about the same if they had been taken on the same day:

"The SAT Suite—from the PSAT 8/9 through the SAT—uses a common score scale for the total and section scores. The ranges reported for each assessment reflect grade-level appropriateness within the common score scale. Thus, while the total range for the SAT is 400–1600, the total range for the PSAT/NMSQT is 320–1520.
This common score scale means that a student who took the PSAT/NMSQT and received a Math section score of 500 would be expected to also get a 500 on the SAT, PSAT 10, or PSAT 8/9 if they had taken any of those tests on that same day; a score of 500  represents the same level of academic achievement on all 4 assessments."
