I emailed the counselor at our Texas school yesterday to ask, nothing yet.
Any other reports from SC other than the 219? Thank you!
I would think, if anything, that because the 10/24 test was easy, and resulted in lower scores for those students taking it, this may have skewed the overall number of higher scores lower.
Second confirmation of a student with a 220 making it in PA! My daughter received the info from her GC this afternoon. He told her they’d just received the mailing this morning.
10% of the students took the 10/24 test so I’m not sure if that’s enough to skew the overall results. It does seem so far like a pretty “flat” year though I don’t think we have enough information to say for sure. It’s a little interesting to me that the percentage of students scoring in the 1400-1520 range increased, but we aren’t so much seeing increases in the cutoffs to go along with that.
Can anyone list schools that pay for a nmsf (or NMF down the road) to fly in for a visit? I know UCF was offering that but not sure if still true. Alabama does not correct? ASU?
Any updates for Tennessee would be appreciated.
On Art’s blog, he’s showing SC right now <= 218.
@rileygrl - I am a parent of two ASU Barrett students. Contact Barrett’s Admissions department. They have a “schedule a visit” button on the webpage. My DS was reimbursed a fixed amount based on our zip code. The reimbursement covered airfare for him. The admissions advisors can let you know how much they will reimburse. They do a great tour complete with sit downs with professor (s) in your major and Deans .
ASU pays 100% of tuition, guaranteed to cover any increases. There is travel and research funding allocated to you also. You need to cover books, Room and Board.
@CrazyCatMama - Congratulations to your daughter and thanks for the confirmation! My son has a 220 in PA and I was sure the score was going to go up this year.
I’m a semi-finalist! From CT and got a 221, meaning that they must have reduced the cutoff for us by at least one point this year. Yay!
@KrysRN101 I was sure the score was going up in PA this year too! Phew!! Hope your son receives official confirmation soon!!!
Oh, I agree it’s not clear whether 10% of scores would have had an impact. I just think it’s more likely that than the suggestion that perhaps the 10/10 exam was disproportionately difficult.
His Principal just informed my son that he has qualified (221 in AZ)! Was a long wait - relieved that it’s over!
My son’s school took it 10/13. Were there three test dates (three tests)?
Yes, I believe so. My dd took hers on 10/10.
Thanks @usma87. Yes they are looking at different schools. One likes large schools while the other prefers smaller schools
@BMC9670 Our high school took PSAT on Wednesday 10/10. Every year our school takes it during the week. My daughter said it was very difficult.
My son took the 10/24 test and only missed 3 total (-2 writing, -1 reading) and got a 218 index (1470 sat-scaled). I think that test mirrors what is happening overall with the SAT. They are technically easier tests, but one wrong answer (particularly in math) and you lose 30-50 pts. So what this does is bring more kids up, but condenses the test-takers into a tighter group and those scoring at the top truly aced it. It used to be you could miss a few even in math and still get an 800. This allows for them to differentiate at the high end between kids who miss zero vs. those who miss a few.
@CONNER1234 TN was just confirmed at <=219 on Art’s blog.
