PSAT 10 Score Information
A student's percentile rank represents the percentage of students who score equal to or lower than their score. For example, if a student’s score is in the 75th percentile, about 75% of a comparison group achieved scores at or below that student’s score. Percentile ranks are provided on this site for Total and Section scores, based on two different reference populations for each grade:
- Nationally representative percentiles are derived from a research study of U.S. students in the 10th grade and are weighted to represent all U.S. students in that grade, regardless of whether they typically take the PSAT 10.
- User group percentiles are based on the actual scores of students who took the PSAT/NMSQT or the PSAT 10 in the past three school years.
