What does it mean if there is an asterisk next to the PSAT Selection Index score?

An asterisk (*) next to a PSAT Selection Index score usually indicates that the score is a projected score, not a final, official score. This often happens when a student takes a PSAT test administered early or at a testing center that processes scores later than others. The asterisk signals that the score is subject to change after final score verification. The actual score might slightly increase or decrease, but typically the change isn't substantial.
