<p>What are your opinions on the PSAT 08? More difficult or easier than last year? Would you predict the cutoff is increasing/decreasing/or equal? Thanks!</p>
<p>Hey!</p>
<p>Ya, I am kinda worried about the NMSF raising by a point or two. I got a 209 on my PSAT, not "great" by any means, but I live in NE, where the cutoff last year was 206. So, for the past two weeks I was kinda obsessed with trying to predict whether the cutoff would increase or not. I found that the score curb this year was pretty much the same as it was last year. As in you needed to get a 212 both on the 2008 PSATs and 2007 PSATs to get into the 99 percentile nationally. Thus, it might rise or drop a point or so nationwide; however, I doubt we will see any major leaps overall. But, as always, some state's cutoff scores could skyrocket. I think it was Idaho or somewhere around there, where the cutoff score last year shot up 4 points, but I have never seen it go higher than an increase of 4 points.</p>
<p>I hadn't even realized the cut offs were increasing that substantially in some states!! I scored a 188 this year as a sophomore and am hopefull for a nm scholarship next year. Do you know what the cut off for illinois was this year? and what do suppose it could rise to next year?</p>
<p>Sorry mate, no way you will get it with a 188 :(</p>
<p>You'll have to get your score to around 215 or so.</p>
<p>I got a 212 this year, a 30 point leap... Is it good enough for VA?</p>
<p>Hmm.. Jersey has been consistently cutting off at around 220s.. but i don't know. Soph year I got a 293, this year I improved slightly to 211 (D:). But who knows if the cut-off will increase?
The test itself seemed about the same, but the cut-off depends on the state.. so I have no idea, but it probably shouldn't change too much</p>
<p>wow i wish i got a 293. i messed up and got only a 292</p>
<p>Does the commendation cutoff at 200 or 96% ?</p>
