Should I worry? PSAT?
I have two questions:
In 8th grade, I got 660 CR, 610 WR, 80 M=2070, on SAT.
1. I got a 210 PSAT score. 67 CR, 80 M, 63 WR. Barely any improvement, IMO. Should I study, even a little, or will things just go smoothly? Studying for PSAT (SAT) maybe is beneficial for my future, since Junior+Soph years I guess you don't have much time? I mean, the day before the test, I played a game of chess; I didn't take a practice test, since I treat these things as games.
2. Does NMS care about your PSAT score, even if you already qualified? (e.g. 220 vs 230 or 240)
3. Do colleges look at anything but Junior scores? (PSAT).
4. My goal is 230+ or 2300+; any good books?
Sorry; not 2 questions; I had further things to ask than that.

Once you make National Merit semifinals your score doesn't matter anymore. You have a new set of requirements to be a finalist. You must take the SAT and get some recommendations and submit a high school transcript. Although only the score during your junior year can qualify you (eg. if you get 197 junior year but you had 235 sophomore year you still don't get in.)
If you don't make National Merit the PSAT doesn't matter much because colleges don't give it any weight in the admission process.
Your SAT score is pretty good and will get you into most colleges, if not the most prestigious ones but I think your score will increase as you get older, so I would advise you just to be involved in extracurriculars and volunteer activities as these impress colleges a lot.
