Hello all. I was wondering if a 1400 PSAT (214 SI) will make the cut in Florida for the class of 2017. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Definitely commended, schools got notified today about students who got something i think
Updated thoughts?
No one knows for sure at this point. Normally, you could have a pretty good guess because most states did not vary by more than a couple points in terms of a cutoff from year to year. But the test was changed this year so we don’t know what the cutoffs will be. There is a 325+ page thread here discussing predicted cutoffs (which vary from being essentially tossing darts to statistical analyses):
There are some testing groups who are making predictions. They made them before any scores were released and have then updated the predictions as more info becomes available. Here is one:

They are predicting Florida’s cutoff will be 215. But it may well be a point or two lower than that. Could be higher as well.
At this point, we know the commended cutoff is 209. And that cutoffs will be released in September. We also know that you are in the zone of possible. Good luck to you.
