For most people, it’s not a good means of projection. Some people do worse on the SAT than PSAT; some do better. On average, people’s scores go up from the PSAT equivalent.

The average PSAT score is in the low 140’s, whereas the average SAT score is about 1500.

If you got 200 without studying and you don’t feel that you got lucky in many places, 2100+ with preparation is realistic.
