<p>I see that there are about 16,000 semi finalists and that they represent about the top 1% of each state. I know they look for 'equal representation' based on the # of students in the state, but I haven't found the actual number of students that took the PSAT (juniors) - or - the number by state. Thanks!</p>
<p>Does anyone know if 'they' publish the number of students that wind up getting it per state?</p>
<p>While I’m not sure about the numbers per state, CB publishes individual state reports here: [College-Bound</a> Juniors 2009 - PSAT/NMSQT](<a href=“http://professionals.collegeboard.com/data-reports-research/psat/cb-jr-soph/juniors]College-Bound”>SAT Suite of Assessments – Reports | College Board)</p>
<p>That link contains stats for the juniors who took the 2009 PSAT. You can get older data and data for sophomores on the left.</p>
<p>Thanks. This is perfect!</p>
