<p>On average what score earns an HM on the PSAT?</p>
<p>you mean commended, right?</p>
<p>usually around 202</p>
<p>200+ im pretty sure.</p>
<p>i think its 203 this year (for the class of 2006)</p>
<p>thanks for the information =)</p>
<p>For the class of 2006, the commended cutoff is 202.</p>
<p>what does commended mean?</p>
<p>How does it help you out??</p>
<p>commended mention
34,000 people get this if they make it on the PSAT
you can put it on your apps
and yes.</p>
<p>50,000 get it actually. 34,000 stop there, while 16,000 become semifinalists.</p>

<p>do you actually get a letter stating that you've made the commended list?</p>
<p>yep.</p>
<p>Semifinalists get a nice packet</p>
<p>Finalists get a pretty certificate!</p>
<p>Hmm... How pretty is the certificate? I'm wondering if I should actually do the Packet for SF.</p>
<p>:)</p>
<p>Hah the packet isn't much.</p>
<p>Um for NJ the cutoff is like 20 points higher than any cutoff mentioned on this thread so far... it's tied for the highest in the nation.</p>
<p><em>Sigh</em></p>
