Hey everyone. I took a practice test for the new PSAT and I got a composite score of 1450 out of 1520. I currently live in Texas and I was wondering if this could possibly be a NMS score or if I need to get it closer to perfect.
@neoking you should check out this thread:

@3scoutsmom Thank you! If you don’t mind me asking, do you think that the cutoffs for NMS this year will be higher than before? I ask this because I felt like this test (I won’t say it’s easy) was not so bad, especially compared to the old SAT. And I’m definitely not an amazing student, so if I can get a score above the predicted range, I feel like the top 1% of Texas can as well.
It’s a different test you can’t compare to last year’s. They will make the numbers work to get the number of students they want one way or another.
