Difference between the PSAT and SAT??
If you score in that range on the PSATs, you will probably qualify for the NMS. It varies from year to year and from state to state, but last year, the qualifying score for different states ranged from 200 to 223, so no matter what state you’re in, you’ll probably get it. In my opinion, the PSAT is easier than the SAT (I’ve taken both, multiple times). There isn’t too much difference in the questions themselves, but the math level that is tested on the PSAT is one level lower than the SAT’s (which goes up to Algebra II, while the PSAT only goes up through Algebra I and Geometry). Also, I know you already know this, but length makes a serious difference because of endurance. Being in a test for only a few hours is different than being in a test for five hours, trust me on that. You get hungry, you get tired, and even the most mentally tough and focused start to slip after awhile.
