<p>I got a 199 :'-(. Does it have to be 200 or above for commended (which is what I heard from last year)?</p>
<p>Is the commended by state or nationally?</p>
<p>Commended has been 200 for the last couple of years. It is 200 nationwide.</p>
<p>wait so it is actually like the top 97%?</p>
<p>I think it is usually the lowest state cutoff, but it has been 200 for quite a few years as the poster above mentioned.</p>
<p>hopefully it stays that way, at least for one more year..0</p>
<p>Commended was 200 for Oct 2006 test takers. Prior to that it was 203.</p>
