How scaling & Selection Index work

  • EBRW Raw (0-48) × 10 + 160 → scaled 160-760
  • Math Raw (0-48) × 10 + 160 → scaled 160-760
  • Total = scaled EBRW + Math (320-1520)
  • Selection Index = (scaled EBRW ÷ 10 + scaled Math ÷ 10) × 2

4 quick ways to raise your PSAT score

  • Simulate digital timing—22 min per EBRW module, 35 min per Math module.
  • Memorize exponent & function rules; they anchor 30 % of Math Qs.
  • Read science passages on-screen to reduce digital fatigue.
  • Flag traps: double negatives, “except” questions, absolute language.
