<p>Talked to NMSC last week, they said that it was 1960. That is, CR+M+(MCx10).</p>
<p>albert69 Does that mean that if you have a 196 or above, you will be commended? That seems lower than years past. </p>
<p>No. I am talking about the SAT score needed for current National Merit Semifinalists in the Class of 2015 to advance to Finalist. No one knows this year’s PSAT commended qualifying score for sure yet - estimates range from 201 to 203. </p>
