<p>Oklahoma Cut-off has historically been below 209</p>
<p>prognosis for CA?</p>
<p>Thanks to XCjunior2016 for providing this information. It was tedious, but I checked both of my kids’ scores, which came out to 194 and 190. They are a sophomore and freshman and need about a 204-207 in my state for NMSF, so there is hope for both of them if they will work on their math.</p>
<p>Unofficial scores for DS - using above method</p>
<p>CR - 70
MA - 71
WR - 68
Total - 209 in GA</p>
<p>Probably not enough for NMSF, but HUGE improvement from last year!</p>
<p>There’s also this site to check your scores: <a href=“jacobbrunson.me - This website is for sale! - jacobbrunson Resources and Information.”>jacobbrunson.me - This website is for sale! - jacobbrunson Resources and Information.;
<p>****It’s based on a Form S curve, so just use <a href=“Understanding PSAT/NMSQT Scores - SAT Suite”>https://www.collegeboard.org/pdf/psat/understanding-psat-nmsqt-scores-guide_0.pdf</a> to convert

<p>I used the first method and based on this my son will be 206-209 which wont make it in Texas. My question is what do they do with the deductions that are not whole numbers? Example: he missed 2 questions on math so that’s a .5 point deduction (.25 each) So his exact raw score is a 35.5. Does it round up to a 36 or down to a 35? I am figuring all this when the actual scores should be here today or tomorrow. Since he is a bit low either way, I am not sweating it much.</p>
<p>Thanks, XCjunior2016! I checked DS’ scores and unless I made a mistake he scored 222. We’re in NY, cutoffs have ranged from 215-219 in the last 6 years. Does anyone have information on whether the cutoffs are likely to change much?</p>
<p>He came home with his paper copy, and he did indeed get 222. </p>
<p>@brawny77 - Unfortunately, they round up for 1/2 and more. I did a search on it yesterday myself.</p>
<p>Yeah MommaBerd I kinda figured that. Oh well I think he has commended either way and even if they round it favorably I think he is still 8 or 9 points short. Still if he can hit near 2100 on the real SAT he should qualify for some merit aid. </p>
<p>@brawny77 you subtract the negative points and round it upwards rather than downwards, so it will be 36. They give student the benefit of rounding.</p>
<p>Anyone think a 225 in NJ is high enough? I know it’s over the cutoff from past years but wanted to hear others’ input</p>
<p>Received today for home school student in Idaho…213</p>
<p>It should be unless something is drastically different this year. Pushing the envelop on 224 score will start changing the NMSF landscape.</p>
<p>[this was a mistake comment so just ignore]</p>
<p>Thanks for the reply @texaspg . I’m hoping for NMSF but we’ll see I guess. It would just be disappointing to miss out on it after scoring so upper-borderline in my state!</p>

<p>Hi texaspg,
Do you have the data for boarding schools as well? Thank you!</p>
<p>@sannibel Boarding school numbers are derived from the highest performing state in the region. So if you know your region, you should look for the highest performing state and just use that for reference.</p>
<p>The numbers below were for 2014. I am guessing midwest is Texas, West is California, Southeast is Georgia, New England is Mass and Mid-Atlantic is DC.</p>
<p>5(?) Boarding school regions
Midwest
IN, IA, KS, MI, MN, MO, OH, TX, WI region=219 (per post #781)</p>
<p>West
AZ, CA, CO, ID, NM, OR, UT, WA, WY region =223</p>
<p>Southeast
AR, FL, GA, MS, NC, SC, TN, WV region =217</p>
<p>New England (?)
CT, ME, MA, NH, RI, VT region =224</p>
<p>Mid-Atlantic (?)
DE, DC, MD, NJ, NY, PA, VA region =224</p>
