[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My junior who has a 3.8 UW got a 1260 which is, frankly, a little disappointing. She had a 1230 her sophomore year. She just took the SAT this past weekend and it sounds like she found it easier than the PSAT -- at least time pressure didn't seem to be a factor for her in the SAT the way it was for her in the PSAT.

Guess we'll see whether her impression of the SAT being easier holds up. Sometimes it just boils down to whether you're having a good day. [/quote]

That is interesting. My junior also took the SAT this past Sat and found it much harder than the Oct Psat! [/quote]

Same with my junior...and her PSAT just came back, not good. Not good at all. [/quote]

SAT is not easier than PSAT.  It is the same test, except,  PSAT has less content than SAT. It has less content because PSAT is taken in the beginning of the 11th grade and it is assumed that students will learn more in school by the time they sit for the SAT. This is the reason that PSAT has less content and it is therefore scored out of less points (instead of out of 1600).    PSAT is a very good predictor of your SAT.

If you took a PSAT and got 1400 on it, it just means that taking a SAT on the same day, you would have scored the same.
