What happens if you get a perfect score on the PSAT?
In addition to feeling a great sense of personal achievement, getting a perfect PSAT score qualifies you for National Merit recognition. The top 1\% of scorers, usually about 16,000 students across the US, are named National Merit Semifinalists. (In fact, a perfect 1520 would exceed even National Merit expectations!)

Is the PSAT a good practice test for the SAT?
The PSAT is excellent practice for the SAT. Although shorter than the SAT, it contains the same types of math, reading, and writing questions. It does not, however, contain an essay component.

What year do you take the PSAT for National Merit?
Your Junior year PSAT score is what qualifies you for the National Merit Scholarship. Some schools or districts will offer the PSAT to sophomores in October, or PSAT 10 in the Spring of their sophomore year. This is a good chance for extra practice, and to see how you might expect to perform when it counts Junior year.
