I got my PSAT score back and there's a section called EBRW. Could anyone explain what EBRW stands for and how it contributes to my overall PSAT score?
Hello there! EBRW stands for Evidence-Based Reading and Writing. It's a crucial part of your PSAT score, combining the results from the Reading Test and the Writing and Language Test. Your individual performance on these two sections is summarized in the EBRW score, which ranges from 160 to 760. This score, along with your Math score (which also ranges from 160 to 760), makes up your total PSAT score. So, if you're aiming for the National Merit Scholarship, for example, your EBRW score is just as important as your Math score towards achieving a top composite score. Understanding your EBRW score can help you identify areas to improve for the SAT as well. Keep it up!
