1520 on a practice PSAT is excellent. I wouldn’t focus too much on the exact number of questions missed though — scoring can vary by test and question difficulty. The bigger thing is whether you’re consistently scoring around this range on multiple official practice tests. If you are, you’re in a really strong spot.

I got a 1520 on the actual psat last yr. I got a 36 act. But I wasn’t rlly trying on the practice tests like I never sat down and actually took one like I did w the act. I’d say try the Sat practice tests. But if you have a 35-36 act on an actual test you prob are gonna get it

My daughter got 1520s on every practice test but got a 1470 on the actual test last year. She said the 2nd reading module was way harder than any practice and then her SAT she took as well.

I got 1520 on practice test 1 and 1500 on practice test 2 last year and ended up getting 1480 on the actual test. Thankfully I just barely managed to get Semifinalist in my state, I ended up spending a long time thinking I had no chance of getting Semifinalist bc I didn’t think the cutoff in my state would drop by so much

Yes, it is possible to get questions wrong and still get a 1520 if those were the experimental questions.

I got the same exact thing for PT 2 last year before I took the PSAT: a 1520 with 3 questions wrong, but I got a 1430 on the real thing, but that could also be due to last year's PSAT being much harder than usual, the ELA section specifically. Maybe try PT 3 to see if it's any better. It might be more accurate since it's a newer release.
