[quote=Anonymous]Our son is a NMSF. Colorado and his score was 224. I think his good friend, who is also NMSF, got a 217. And I agree with the poster who said the PSAT is useless. Its another way for the College Board to make money and is essentially meaningless. And he/she is also correct that the SAT has little to no correlation with college performance. I have no idea about leadership and creativity. I THINK, but have no data to prove it, that high test scorers on the PSAT/SAT etc. are no more or less likely to be creative or show leadership skills than students who struggle to do well on standardized tests. Note that the odds of actually getting one of the $2500 are very small. Our high school had 12 semifinalists last year and I think all made it finalist. Of those 12 only 3 received one of the $2500 scholarships. So don't get worked up about your child's PSAT score one way or another. [/quote]
