PSAT help?

When you apply to a certain college, do they look at your PSAT score or is it just like a scholarship test? I'm taking the PSAT in October and I really want to know if I should take this test seriously or not. Thanks!

No, they don't look at PSAT scores. When I applied they did not ask for PSAT scores, and it wasn't on the SAT score report. It's just practice for the actual SAT.

No they don't look at your PSAT score enwenw16, but I recommend still to take the PSAT seriously. It's not really a "scholarship test," the PSAT is just what you might expect to get on the actual SAT. So don't put random answers down, who knows, if you do well you might get some scholarship money. It will also look really good on your college resume if you do get the National Merit Scholarship. I got a 187 on my PSAT by the way.
