Good PSAT Score-1160?Answered
Hi!
I have an open mind on what colleges I would like to attend, and I’m trying to figure out what kinds of colleges I can get into with an 8th grade PSAT score of 1160. I got 680 in Reading and Writing and 480 in Math. However, when I took that PSAT last year, our teacher hadn’t taught us the Advanced Math and Trig sections, so to be fair I think I could do better now in math. I want to get into a good college but not one where I’m drowning in debt the rest of my life if I don’t get a great scholarship. I know my 8th grade PSAT won’t actually affect my college admissions, but I’m just wondering, compared to that, how I’ll do my junior/senior year. Anyone have any thoughts on that?
Thanks!

Wow, look at you, 8th grade and already worrying about college admissions! Jokes aside, you have a really good score for an 8th grader, especially for English. You’ll be taking the PSAT again for 9th, 10th, and possibly 11th, so you’ll be able to see your growth prior to the SAT. Whatever you’re doing, keep doing it (but of course always aim for higher). I’m sure you’ll do good in the SAT, be proud of your score!
