Is there a breakdown somewhere of the # of NMSF's/ state?

<p>I am curious to find out if it is easily available somewhere. I sure can't put my hands on it.</p>

<p>You’re welcome. </p>

<p>It is year-old data, but the new report should be out soon. It doesn’t change too much in one year. It’s interesting to see how number of test-takers at least partially drives the state cut-offs. MA had almost 2.5 X the number of test-takers as WI, but the same number of NMSF. In MA everybody takes the test, well about 68% of potential test-takers, while WI is 28%. You can figure that the # of NMSF is 0.5% of juniors in the state and extrapolate. Overall about 50% take test, but wide variation from state to state.</p>
