Questions about PSAT and SAT scores
Is a PSAT score the same as an SAT score?
They’re on the same scale, so a PSAT score is a fair estimate of what you’d score on the SAT that day. The estimate is less exact near the top: the PSAT/NMSQT stops at 1520, the SAT at 1600.
When do fall 2026 PSAT scores come out?
Students get their PSAT/NMSQT scores on October 22, November 5 or November 12, 2026, depending on when their school gave the test.
Is the SAT harder than the PSAT?
A little. Both test the same skills in the same format, but the SAT has some harder questions, which is why its scale goes higher.
Can I use a PSAT 10 score?
Yes. The PSAT 10 is on the same 320 to 1520 scale as the PSAT/NMSQT.
Does Pathiva see my PSAT scores?
No. The predictor works in your browser and only uses the numbers you type in.
