You actually have to know a lot about the subject that the test is testing for.
It also helps to be very familiar with the style of questions and with good answering strategies. You can find books to help you with that.
No the SAT is not much harder than the PSAT. In fact, they are supposed to be on the same level of difficulty. What really helped me prepare for both the SAT and PSAT was the Princeton review guide, along with the tutorfox new sat guide.
The PSAT provides firsthand practice for the SAT.
Yes they check your PSAT SAT and grades and everything else
PSAT
PSAT scores give you a general idea of what score you would make on the SAT. Adding a zero to your PSAT score gives you a ballpark number of what you would make on the real thing. The highest score possible on the PSAT is a 240, while the highest score on the SAT is a 2400. The PSAT is not an acceptable test to send to colleges in place of SAT scores. However, the PSAT can earn you recognition with scholarships for making a high enough score.
Sixth graders typically do not take the SAT, as it is designed for high school students applying to college. However, some schools may offer the PSAT 8/9, which is a version of the PSAT designed for younger students, including those in sixth grade. The PSAT is intended to prepare students for future standardized testing, including the SAT.

PSAT *************APEX ;p lol**********
They only check your SAT score to see that you weren't cheating on the PSAT, so you would need to get close to 2230.
Actually its pretty good but remember that the PSAT is alot easier then the SAT. anyways Good Luck!
You can take the Official Student Guide to the PSAT/NMSQT, it prepares you for the types of questions they will ask you. The PSAT is a preparation for the SAT, but you still should study for it because you'll be better prepared if you study well, and you can get some scholarships based on how you score on the PSAT.
It is a "pre" SAT. Its purpose is for you to find out if you test well with SAT-type tests. Also, it is an opportunity to receive a scholarship through the National Merit Scholar's program. If you score very, very high on the PSAT, you are eligible for the scholarship.
