New PSAT semifinalist cutoffs

If anyone’s checked compass prep’s estimates, they’ll see the semifinalist cutoffs have jumped up. Minnesota’s went from being 215 to 219. I guess I’m not gonna be a semifinalist with a 218 (1470, 760 math, 710 reading/English) …

Does anyone else feel like these are really high?

Yes, but hard to compare to the old test. It’s a new test with a new score scale.

MN confirmed at 219. So sorry! It’s an awesome score and hopefully you blew away the SAT/ACT.

Yes @LaikaDoodles. Being a 221 in MA or NJ = no National Merit SF.
