For more details about scores, visitcollegereadiness.collegeboard.org.The NMSC Selection Index score is used by NationalMerit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC) as an initial screenof students who enter the National Merit ScholarshipProgram. The Selection Index scores of all students whomeet entry requirements will be considered for programrecognition. See the PSAT/NMSQT Student Guide for moreinformation about the National Merit Scholarship Program.The College Board Assessment Design & Developmentteam wrote the practice test using the same processesand standards they use when writing the actualPSAT/NMSQT.

The number of correct answersis your raw score.8–38 Scale8–38 Scale7 Subscores1–15 ScaleEXAMPLE: Jennifer answered 29 of the 47 questions correctly on the PSAT/NMSQTReading Test and 20 of the 44 questions correctly on the PSAT/NMSQT Writing andLanguage Test. Using the table on page 9, she calculates that she received aPSAT/NMSQT Reading Test score of 28 and a PSAT/NMSQT Writing and Language Testscore of 23. She adds 28 to 23 (gets 51) and then multiplies by 10 to determine herPSAT/NMSQT Evidence-Based Reading and Writing Section score is 510.ReadingMathWriting andLanguageMathAnalysis in History/Social StudiesCommand of EvidenceHeart ofAlgebraWords in ContextProblem Solvingand Data AnalysisExpressionof IdeasPassport toAdvanced MathStandard EnglishConventionsDo the same with Section 2 to determine your Writing and LanguageTest score.Multiply that number by 10.
