YOUR PSAT SCORES

· Score reports show a numerical score for each skill area, as well as a range that extends from a few points below to a few points above. This range shows how your score might differ if you were to take the PSAT again and again.

· A quick and easy way to get your SAT equivalent is to add a zero to the end of your verbal and math scores and add them together. For example, if you have a 50 for verbal and a 40 for math, your comparable SAT score would be a 900 (500 +400 = 900).

· Your percentile rank compares you to other students your age. If your percentile rank is a 56, that means that when compared to 100 other 11^th grade students, you scored better than 56 of them.

· Your score report also includes an answer analysis section. This is the reason you also received your test booklet. The answer analysis section gives you the correct answer, your answer, the level of difficulty (easy, medium, or hard), and math subject area. This information can help you improve your scores.

· The “Improve your Skills” section relates specifically to your test results. It gives you excellent tips to help you improve your scores.

· Be sure to read your score report. It contains plenty of useful information. If you have any questions about your results, you can make an appointment to see one of the counselors.
