Just took the October PSAT? Don’t make the mistake of looking at your score and moving on.
For the Class of 2028, your PSAT results can help you figure out what to focus on before taking the SAT.
Here’s what to do next:
1. Review your score report
Don’t just look at your total score. Check your Reading & Writing and Math performance separately.
2. Identify where you’re losing points
Look at the skills and question types where you have the most room to improve.
3. Set a target SAT score
Start researching colleges you’re interested in and look at their SAT score ranges.
4. Plan your first SAT
Junior year is a great time to start thinking about when you’ll take your first official SAT.
5. Build your study plan
Use your PSAT results to focus on the areas where you can gain points instead of practicing everything equally.
Remember, your PSAT score doesn’t determine your future SAT score.
It gives you a starting point to build from.
