Coming Soon: October 2018 PSAT Scores

Link for Creating PSAT Account on Collegeboard
Paper score reports will be made available via school’s guidance office.
PSAT score is reported on a 320-1520 point scale with two major score categories:
Evidence-based Reading & Writing Score Range of 160-760
Math Score Range of 160-760
In addition to these, there are Cross Test Scores (2 categories), Sub Scores (7 categories) and Test Scores (3 categories)
While many 10th graders also take PSAT test, ONLY 11th grade scores are eligible for the National Merit competition. Cutoff for national merit is determined by doubling the 3 Test Scores in Reading (8-38), Writing & Language (8-38) and Math (8-38) for a maximum total score of 228.
The exact cutoff (which is different for each state) needed for qualifying scores for National Merit will be declared at a later date (around spring time). Historically, National Merit cut off for PA has ranged from 216-219, on a 240 scale. For Class of 2019, PA qualifying range was 219.
Over the years, Axios students have created a very successful track record of qualifying for national merit competition (NMSQT).
