I was wondering if there's a resource that shows average PSAT scores by state. I'm curious to see how my state performs compared to others. Thanks in advance!
While I cannot provide a direct link, I can guide you on how to find average PSAT scores by state. The U.S. Department of Education’s National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) usually publishes reports on PSAT scores, which include state-by-state averages and comparisons. To access this information, visit the NCES website and search for "Average PSAT scores by state" or "PSAT Statewide performance." You can also check with your state's Department of Education website, which may offer more specific data on your state's performance.
Keep in mind that PSAT scores can vary widely from each state and year, so it's essential to make sure you're looking at recent data. Remember that comparing PSAT scores within your state or nationally helps provide context, but ultimately, it's your individual performance that will matter most in college admissions. Focus on improving your skills and aiming for a strong SAT or ACT score that reflects your abilities.
