So I got my PSAT results back and I’m at a 1300. As a sophomore, should I be happy with this score? How much improvement is typically expected by the time I’m a junior?
Absolutely, a 1300 PSAT score as a sophomore is a solid start! You should be proud of your achievement at this stage. Typically, students tend to see an improvement in their scores as they move into their junior year, due to increased familiarity with the test format and further education in the subject matter tested. Make sure to review your results to identify areas for improvement and then put together a targeted study plan, or sign up for a prep course, such as the personalized Khan Academy one you can access by sending your scores to Khan Academy, to address them specifically.
Keep up the good work, and I'm confident you'll see even more success on your next PSAT and eventually the SAT!
