	PSAT/NMSQT - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		This parallels the SAT, which is graded on a scale of 200 to 800 (the difference in range is mainly to distinguish from which test a score comes).
		Other factors besides the PSAT Selection Index score are taken into account, such as the student's Grade Point Average (GPA) and extra-curricular activities.

		PSAT is a "forward-looking" model that simulates fuel economy and performance in a realistic manner — taking into account transient behavior and control system characteristics.
		This ability supports an ambitious development goal for PSAT — to be transportable from the virtual world of component modeling and simulation to the emulated environment of component control in hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing in PSAT-PRO and then to the physical environment of full powertrain control in a vehicle in Argonne's Advanced Powertrain Test Facility.
		Moreover, PSAT has provided significant benefits to industry vehicle designers and university researchers as evidenced by their growing use of PSAT for both production-oriented and research design activities.

	Argonne Transportation - PSAT-PRO
		In this initiative, Argonne researchers have developed PSAT-PRO, a control code based on the PSAT (Powertrain System Analysis Toolkit) model, to support component control in the Advanced Powertrain Test Facility and produce Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testing.
		The PSAT-PRO software is integrally linked to the PSAT software, but it is still generic enough to go from modeling to prototyping for any kind of hybrid configuration.
		Because the toolkit is truly integrated, researchers can go back into the PSAT simulation and modify the model until the simulation results match test data.
