[quote=Anonymous]I have a freshman who took the PSAT 8/9 and I'm still trying to grasp the new scoring (what was wrong with the 800 being the top score per section, again?). His score came back 98-99% for 9th graders, but since this is a new test (I think), I'm not sure how well it will actually predict future success on the PSAT/SAT. My older DC (a senior) actually did better on the sophomore PSAT than on the junior PSAT, and her SAT scores didn't improve much with some Kaplan prep. It's possible she was an outlier, but I don't know if it can be assumed that kids will have a huge leap in scores just by virtue of getting older. Fortunately, she did better on the ACT (30 with no prep vs. high 1700s on SAT). If you think your kid's scores are really low, you might want to have them take a practice ACT over the summer and see if they should be taking that test instead. [/quote]
