About the PSAT Score Calculator
The PSAT/NMSQT follows the same adaptive format as the Digital SAT, with scores ranging from 320 to 1520. Each section (Reading & Writing and Math) is scored on a scale of 160–760. This calculator estimates your PSAT score and equivalent SAT projection — helping you set a target before your actual SAT exam. The PSAT is also used for National Merit Scholarship qualification via the Selection Index (2× your Reading & Writing score + your Math score).
