October 2012 PSAT score

<p>Last year (Sophomore year) I got three 71’s, so a 213. Is there a good chance that I might exceed that this year, considering I prepped none? North Carolina has been 213 in the past, but I’m not counting on it again this year.</p>

<p>My son received his PSAT score from his high school today. He got 226 as expected. We are from Michigan.</p>

<p>@DukeHopeful: <em>Somewhere</em> I have seen that the <em>average</em> increase in score between sophomore and junior years is 10 points. Of course, you had a solid score your sophomore year. Typically, if the cut-offs go up, it’s by no more than 3 points. At least this is what I have observed on some of the cut-off score threads here on CC. </p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>Got a 212 in PA which put me in the 99th percentile. Theoretically I still have a shot at the semifinals I believe but I think I can bank on commended.</p>

<p>The expected increase between 10th and 11th grade PSAT score is on the college board website. </p>

<p>The expected improvement is much higher for low scorers </p>

<p>On average only a point or two is predicted for high scorers - there is a bell-shaped curve and high scorers also drop frequently by several points.</p>

<p>Then again, after taking it, I reviewed it in my head and with other classmates, and I can honestly say that there was not one that I was not absolutely sure of. I’m feeling a 240 coming on, whether I studied or not. Have to think positive.</p>

<p>Sophomore here, I got a 231; missed 1 in each section (80 CR, 76 M, 75 W). Of course, knowing me, I’ll probably screw it up next year when it actually matters. Any other sophs get their scores yet?</p>

<p>Did anyone get PSAT Saturday scores back. I am from NY and I need a 225 or higher but I think I got 1 question wrong on Saturday for Writing and probably more I didnt know about, so just wondering.</p>

<p>PA got scores today. 216 was 99%ile.</p>

<p>Can everyone who has gotten scores please report the number they missed (including guessing penalty) and their score?</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure PA’s 99th percentile went as low as 210. I had it at 212.</p>

<p>My score was 73 - 73 - 66, with 2 - 2 - 3 wrong respectively, omitted none.</p>

<p>@SATACT95
the cutoff for NY has been at 219 at most hasn’t it?..</p>

<p>Are you sure thats right Indigo? -2 for CR is almost always 77-78</p>

<p>CR: 68 for -6 all guessed incorrectly</p>

<p>Math: 67 for -2 guessed incorrectly and omitting 4</p>

<p>Writing: 70 for -3 all guessed incorrectly</p>

<p>Is that for saturday or wednesday test Disantis ?</p>

<p>For those of you who took the Saturday test, can you let us know the curve?
:)</p>

<p>My post was for Wednesday’s test</p>

<p>Indiana junior here, scored a 221 on the Wednesday test. 64 CR with -8, 80 math, and 77 writing with -1, no questions omitted.</p>

<p>NJ Junior, 225 </p>

<p>80 CR: - 1, none omitted
68 M: -4, none omitted
77 W: -1, none omitted</p>

<p>Hoping for a chance at semi-finalist :)</p>

<p>Anyone has a list of the cut-offs for NJ in the last years?</p>

<p>My post was for Wednesday’s test.</p>
