Sorry about any typos, I’m on my ipod.

Without going into too much detail… Im a freshman who took the psat for the first time recently. I received a score of 197/240, with a 68 in math, 67 in CR, and a 62 in writing.

I also took the real SAT in 7th grade as part of the Duke TIP program, and got a 1750 out of 2400.

So, I have some questions.

Is this a ‘good’ score, if so, just how good is it? It seems good, but there are 43 points I need to gain to be REALLY satisfied.
What should i do to improve that score?
Do you think i have a legitimate shot at getting a 235+ as a junior, or a 2350+ as a senior on the sat? Keep in mind i had absolutely no prep for this psat, other than my regular classes.
How much will this help me get into a good school?
How often does a freshman get an 80/80 on the math section? Im wondering because my friend did.


Again sorry about the bad typing, I know it makes me look stupid, but i promise its just this keyboard.

Thanks, and please answer!
