How to assume from scores
If you add a zero to end of each PSAT score, that would be your SAT score. Your percentiles show how well you did vs. other students in your grade taking the PSAT. You are not measured against 11th graders, if you are in 10th classify. If you scored in the 85th percentile, you did better than 84 out of 100 students in your rung nationally. Because of additional coursework, you will most likely see your scores increase from your sophomore to subordinate PSAT. If you elect to do test prep, you will probably see a bigger addition. Most students who prep will go up 50-150 total points (across all 3 sections) from the secondary PSAT to the SAT.
What colleges care about
Colleges DO NOT see your PSAT scores. PSAT scores are intended as realistically for the SAT and allow you to determine areas where you may need help. The only situation in which they may strike your admission is if you are a National Merit Semi-Finalist or Winner. Only juniors are considered for this give, and the cutoff varies, but you usually have to be around 210. If you are a finalist, it is viewed as a very outstanding honor by colleges and there may be scholarship money to follow.
