[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t think one can really generalize about PSAT and ultimate SAT scores after prep. My DC got 1240 PSAT and a 1470 superscore after Junior year, which surprised his college counselor who assured me he could only improve SAT by 100 points or so over the PSAT.[/quote]

Well, if you do not prep and get 1200 in PSAT in 10th grade, then without prepping, you will get 1300 in SAT in 11th grade. Your counselor is somewhat correct in this.  Without any prep, PSAT predicts your SAT scores.  And you get 100 points of improvement each year.

Yes, you can generalize.  And yes, your kid probably studied for SAT and probably did not study for PSAT.  A low score in PSAT can scare the sh1t off these kids and then they start working.  Fear is a good motivator. [/quote]

Argh, this is wrong!

The PSAT is scored out of 1520. So a 1200 on the PSAT in 10th grade is the equivalent of a 1350-1400 on the SAT, even without “improvement.” The denominators are different.[/quote]
