An online tool facilitates the conversion of raw PSAT scores (the number of correctly answered questions) into scaled scores, typically ranging from 160 to 760 per section. This conversion accounts for variations in test difficulty across different administrations. For example, a particular raw score might translate to a higher scaled score on a more challenging test version compared to an easier one. These tools often provide score reports detailing performance across different test sections, including Evidence-Based Reading and Writing and Math.

Access to immediate and accurate score estimations offers students valuable insights into their PSAT performance. This understanding can be instrumental in identifying strengths and weaknesses, informing targeted study strategies, and projecting potential SAT performance. Historically, score calculation involved manual processes or reliance on printed conversion tables. The advent of online tools has streamlined this process, providing quick and convenient access to score information, enabling students to gain a timely understanding of their performance.
