I took the PSAT and it said I would most likely score between a 1550-1600. Would these be good scores?

The average for the three part SAT is about 500 to 520 or so for each part, so if you are an average student compared to other kids who are going to college, then you would score about 1500 - 1600 on the SAT.
The PSAT is just a general indicator. If you think you are better than average, then you should work hard in school for the next year, and maybe get one of those books that helps you practice for the SAT, then you can probably improve your score a bit.
National Merit is calculated based on the PSAT - you need to get about a 200 on the PSAT to get National Merit honors, and about a 220 or higher to get National Merit Scholar.

It all depends...
Good is when it is going to get you what you want...
Does it meet the college you want to attend's standards for admission?
Is it high enough to get enough scholarship money that you need?
Are you satisfied with the score?
