National Merit Chance?

<p>I scored a 212 on my PSAT and I'm from Wisconsin. What are my chances of being a semi-finalist?</p>

<p>The last five year average for WI is 209 rounded up. Last year was 207. A 212 leaves you sitting pretty with a little room to spare. You don’t have it until they tell you so, but I think it’s okay to start to get excited. BTW-Don’t let your grades drop. Congrats</p>

<p>Thanks a lot! That’s awesome, and I have a 4.0, so I think I’m good for grades!</p>

<p>In particular, the scores don’t vary too much around the average. There are states that have +/-4 pt swings from year to year. For WI the past 6 years have been 207/209/209/207/210/208. Not sure if it’s ever been 212, didn’t follow back that far, but anyway congrats to you.</p>
