One of the questions, we often get at Academics Plus is: What is the difference between the SAT and the PSAT? So over the next few days, we will post blogs listing the differences between these two important exams.
The following is an excerpt from a short article written by Justin Dolecki over at the Princeton Review.
Just Add a ZeroThe last big difference between the two tests is how the scores are reported. Each section of the SAT is scored between 200 – 800 for a total maximum score of 2400 (3 sections – Math, Critical Reading, and Writing). The PSAT on the other hand scores each section (once again, 3 sections) between 20 – 80 for a possible score of 240. Just add a zero to a PSAT score to get an approximate idea of its SAT equivalent. Our goal is to make this blog the most helpful and informative blog on Academic Success and SAT preparation. To do this, we need your help, so please give us your feedback and make comments to our blog!!
