College board says to add a zero to the PSAT to predict your SAT. So a 200 on PSAT, which ranks in the 96th percentile and qualifies as NM Commended, translates into a 2000 on the SAT, which would not be anywhere near what is needed to get into the top LACs etc. Is this “adding the zero” realistic? Comments anyone?
