240 is the max you can score (right)?
123 is not a terrible score. You can determine how well you did, compared to other sophomores who took the test, by comparing what percentile/quartile you were ranked for each skill (critical reading, math, and writing). This should let you know how you rank among other sophomores who took the test and who scored below average, average, or above average for each of the individual skills.
collegeboard.com says that the average critical reading, math, and writing skills score for juniors is about 49; this means you may have some brushing up to do in some areas.
The short answer is No 123 is not a bad score, it's not the greatest, but you are a sophomore and it should be a wake up call that you may need to brush up on your standardized test taking skills.

don't worry, it's just a practice test. the psat is slightly more difficult than the SAT. and by the way, your PSAT score will appear on your transcript.

luckily it doesnt count yet but u can study hard so that you can do good 11th and 12th when you take the real one
the highest you can get on each section is 800
on the PSAT paper you get back it should tell you what is the median and the highest
GOOD LUCK with it

it's not good. . .But if you study, you can do better, and the SAT's aren't as hard.
