Do any of you guys know the average PSAT score for 12th graders? I took it but I'm not sure if my score is considered good for a senior.
Sure! While the PSAT is often taken in 10th or 11th grade for the National Merit Scholarship competition, some seniors may take it for various reasons. The average PSAT score for all test-takers (including students from 8th to 11th grade) is around 950. For 11th graders, who make up the majority of test-takers, the average score typically falls between 900 and 1100.
Since there isn't a specific average score for 12th graders, you could use the average score range for 11th graders as a rough reference. Keep in mind that the PSAT score is mostly used for identifying academic potential and preparation for the SAT rather than determining college admission.
If you're concerned about your score, it might be more helpful to focus on preparing for the SAT or ACT, which are the tests colleges look at during the admissions process. There are many test prep resources, including CollegeVine, that could help you improve your scores if necessary. Good luck!"
