<p>*But if you get 1950 on your SAT and 235 on your PSAT, the NMSC could get a little suspicious as to if the PSAT was a valid score. *</p>
<p>No, it doesn’t work that way. They aren’t looking for a similar SAT. As long as you get 1950-2000, then you’re fine. There haven’t been reports of students not making NMF because their SAT wasn’t as high as their PSAT. </p>
<p>They would get suspicious if your SAT was - say - 1800, but I don’t think there have been reports of kids not making NMF with a score of at least a 1950 (as long as GPA, essay, recs, etc, were fine)</p>
