<p>I have seen posts by molliebat on the MIT forum and others suggest that they are looking for something else, something more than scores. </p>
<p>I think xiggi believes that the percentile rank for 224 on the PSAT indicates potential to score in the 2300 range on the SAT. So, I do not know how much easier or harder one is than the other. Personally, I do agree with him, the potential is higher, since my son took his first practice SAT test yesterday to establish a baseline, without any practice this year and scored perfect scores. He had minutes left on each section and could have missed a couple more questions and still got 800s. So, it was a nice surprise. I was thinking he would probably start some where near 2100, practice all summer and get near a 2300 by the end of the summer.</p>
