Is V49 a good score in PSAT scores from 1988?

A PSAT score of V49 in 1988 was very good. The PSAT scoring system has changed significantly over the years, making direct comparisons difficult. However, a score in the 40s on the verbal section back then indicated a high level of verbal reasoning ability, placing the student in the top percentile of test-takers. It would have significantly boosted their chances of doing well on the SAT and being considered for scholarships and competitive programs.
