(I wasnt sure where to post this)


So, I was looking on the internet about PSAT scores and couldnt find much of what I was looking for so I decided to come here.

Just wondering... I'm a sophomore that got a 1830 out of 2400 on the PSATs. I know thats not that good since a bunch of people did better than me, and I know I gotta do better in the actual SAT's. Still, I'm wondering, what type of score would I want to get into a really good school (like UW, Berkeley, whatever)? Also, what type of score would you need if you wanted t make that national merits scholarship thing?

Thanks for any answers you leave.

This is the US News & World Report's rankings of the best schools in the US: http://www.usnews.com/usnews/edu/college/rankings/rankindex_brief.php

If you want the premium (read: complete) version, it'll cost ya, but this does give some ideas on what's needed, particularly for upper-level schools. And, since you have some specific schools in mind, check out their websites.

Plus, remember that it's not just about scores. It's also about activities, need, your essay, diversity, that sort of thing. And, a PSAT is fine but it's really SATs and ACHs that are at issue when you're looking to be admitted to college. PSATs are something of an indicator of how you'll do on the SATs, plus the PSAT is used to determine the National Merit Scholarship Winners.
