PSAT/NMSQT Score Report
Take a look at your student’s PSAT/NMSQT® ScoreReport. Notice that each section of the test — critical
reading, mathematics and writing skills — has its own
column. Within each section is a great deal of information
that provides a thorough review of performance.
1 Your Scores:
• Each PSAT/NMSQT score — critical reading, mathematics and
writing skills — is based on a scale of 20 to 80.
• The score ranges show how much scores might vary if students
were to take the PSAT/NMSQT repeatedly without learning
additional skills. In other words, the scores within this range are
considered “equal” statistically.
• Percentiles compare your student’s performance with
that of other students. Eleventh-graders are compared to
all 11th-graders who took the test; 10th-graders and younger
students are compared to all 10th-graders who took the test.
