My D did not do well on the PSATs she took sophomore or junior year. She hated the format of the test so she decided to focus on the ACT. Her PSAT score was equivalent to a 24 ACT. We were prepared to focus on test optional schools. But she got a 29 on her first ACT with little prep. She took it again hoping for a 30. She prepped mostly on the science section and got a 33 composite. She liked the ACT format much better, even before she received her scores.
