| Predicted SAT score from PSAT?
I just got my PSAT score...CR 78, M 80, W 76, total 234. Is this a good indicator on what I may have gotten on the Dec. SAT? If so...what can I expect?

The curve for the PSAT is really rough. That'll help you get higher on the real SAT

I think everyone's PSAT scores are lower than their SAT scores, on average.
My PSAT scores are lower than my SAT, and four of my friends' PSAT scores are lower (I only know both the PSAT and SAT scores of four people).
And it makes sense.
The average intelligence of all PSAT takers is higher than the average intelligence, on average, of any month's SAT takers. Only decently smart people and above spend the time taking the PSAT, whereas everyone has to take the ACT/SAT (who's going to college).
And if you're good at writing SAT essays, your writing should improve to an 800. So if you take the SAT 2-3 times, I think you have a VERY good chance at getting a 2400 superscore, and even a 2400 single sitting.

Well its hard to predict for someone to get a 240 psat because you are almost bound to get lower

It won't be wayyy different. 100 points difference maybe (might go up/down)
You'll probably get 2200+
But who knows..good luck
Good job on your PSAT!! Great score!

i had either a 202 or 203 for my psat but i'm predicting a 2300+ for my SAT december administration. so really i think there's no link. unless of course you do no prep and all the other conditions are the same. in that case, some would sat SAT = PSAT * 10

| PSAT predicts SAT?
Here is an interesting point of view
Lets say that you scored a 194 on the 2008 PSAT. By the report, that would mean you scored at the 94th percentile. So then lets assume that you are a student around the 94th percentile on the SAT as well. That would mean that on the 2007 SAT you would have scored around 2040. Not an exact science, but close enough to guess your expected results on the SAT.
If you google "2007 SAT percentile results" you can find the chart published by collegeboard that details the percentile rankings for 2007 results.
