<p>Never has the PSAT National merit cutoff gone above 203, and for the last 3 years it has been 203, all in a row. Do you guys think it may rise of 204 for the 1st time?</p>
<p>Are you referring to the state with the lowest score, or another particular state?</p>
<p>No, I’m referring to the national cutoff to attain the national merit commended status. It has only gone to 204 once (I made a mistake in my 1st post) back in 2003, and I was wondering if anyone else thinks this year’s national commended cutoff wil be 204 once again.</p>
<p>The national commended cutoffs were not at 203 for the past several years. They were:
2014 = 203
2013= 200
2012= 202
2011= 201
2010= 201</p>
<p>To continue that with the data I have:</p>
<p>2009 = 200
2008 = 200
2007 = 203
2006 = 202
2005 = 202
2004 = 201</p>
<p>My guess is that I don’t think it will go up. Maybe drop by 1 to 2 pt… but it doesn’t really get you anything thou so why do you care?</p>
<p>^ in our smallish town, commended gets you special recognition from the school board and your name in the paper and stuff. I’m guessing OP has a 204 and is concerned it will go past that?</p>
