PSAT Scoring and Average Scores PSAT scores are reported on a scale that runs from 20 to 80, 20 being the lowest and 80 the highest. This is a parallel to the SAT, which scores between 200 and 800 on each test part.
Best Answer: It's a bit pointless to prepare for the PSAT in 10th grade. The PSAT is kind of like a practice SAT, except without the essay. Scoring high does absolutely nothing except tell you you'll probably do well on the real SAT. The PSAT in 11th grade is more important. If you take it then and get a high score (usually above a 200 to 210, depending on the state), then you may qualify for National Merit (hence why the test is really called PSAT/NMSQT - PSAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test).
