Test Preparation
1

<p>this year, the PSAT index "cut-off line" was 221 for New Jersey...
did anyone here make it? same, or over 221?
if you did, what was your percentile?</p>

<p>....just curious :)</p>

2

<p>Yes. 236. 99 percentile.</p>

<p>How about you ..?</p>

3

<p>you guys are too freaking smart, I got a 217 :-( If only I lived in like Missouri or something</p>

4

<p>223, 99%</p>

<p>I thought the percentile was nationwide, not statewide?</p>

5

<p>omg, hey i got the same exact score!! 232...
and yes my percentile was 99% too
i was just wondering if that was the nation-wide percentile or the state-wide..</p>

6

<p>oh oops...my mistake...i read it as 232..not 223..sry, i'm dyslexic sometimes...</p>

<ol>
<li>i think i qualify, i'm not sure. i haven't got my physical score sheet yet, just my score from my counselor.</li>
</ol>

<p>are any of you guys applying to the nj governor's schools? (i am applying to the intl studies one...)</p>

8

<p>When is the governor school deadline? And is there a website I could check out? And yes, the percentile is nationwide.</p>

<p>I believe the gov school deadline has passed - or at least, here, my school submitted our apps to the county already ...?!</p>

<p>I am applying for NJ Gov's School of the Sciences. Good luck to all, perhaps some of us will meet there.</p>

<p>yeah the gov school deadline has passed. I applied for engineering and technology, my counselor thinks i'll get in. I was so excited b/c my essays rocked and i have a 5 on calc ab and ap physics c, and an 800 sat ii physics... so my counselor said she'd be surprised if i was rejected. I really cant wait</p>

11

<p>yep, but i got a 206, soooo ****ed off at that... applying to gov school of science, 800 math ii, and 5's on physics and chem, hope that gets me in... well... that and other stuff</p>
