<p>Hey, everyone! Scores are coming out for everyone about now. Why don't you post your score here so you can get bashed or praised? I'll start first -</p>
<p>185 (Junior Year)</p>
<p>A ten-point improvement from last year for me! I was really hoping for 200+, but I didn't study, so whatever. I will study the SAT for a 2000+.</p>
<p>I got my scores today, that was really surprising :)</p>
<p>I got a 223, and I go to school in DC. Does this mean I will likely qualify for Semifinalist?</p>
<p>Were we the only two people to receive our scores today? :P</p>
<p>Actually, this is very, very early to receive scores. Most schools do not distribute them until December or January.</p>
<p>Yeah, it’s really early, but only because this was the first time ever Collegeboard sent scores early, so everyone else should have them :P</p>
<p>well should is very different than does…many schools wait</p>
<p>Sadly I haven’t gotten my scores yet. But I’ve already started receiving stuff in the mail from colleges which I believe is from answering yes on receiving material from colleges regarding my score. I know that these mailings mean nothing, but that shows that our scores have been released. I just need to know what I got. lol You guys are lucky to have already gotten your scores. Good job both of you. :)</p>
<p>I believe we may be some of the few that did get ours so early. Yay us!!! </p>
<p>Hope you guys get yours soon! I know you all are anxious!!!</p>
<p>its not exactly a live or die situation for me, but i got a 200 on my psats
i didnt really care about them at all until i realized that im actually close to being commended
i know that the cutoff last year was a 200
do you think i have a chance?
i also know a girl who got a 198 and she was in the 96th percentile which is the same exact curve from last year</p>
<p>hmm i havent gotten any mail yet..is that a problem?</p>
<p>i got an 181 last yr my soph yr. this yr exactly the same…b/c of medical problems that caused to not be able to see during the test. but this is only PSAT so i’m not worrying too much. i could’ve gotten an 800 on math if i didn’t have stuuuupid mistakes like putting ‘00’ istead of ‘900’. bleh</p>
<p>anyway, how do u do #28 in math. form S? i still can’t figure that one out for some reason…</p>
<p>I got my score today. </p>
<p>218-73 Critical Reading, 65 Math, 80 Writing</p>
<p>I got a 181! An 11 point increase for me :D:D:D! I was hoping for a 200+ but, I only did the booklet and one SAT test to “study” and I’m outta shape in my reading so. I got a 57, 64, 60 I think.. So not terrible…</p>
<p>One kid got a 223, the highest my school has had like ever. The next highest was a 197, then 183, then me. So I’m not too bummed</p>
<p>fireflyscout…since you seem to be the resident expert on PSAT here on CC, I have a question. What is the reason why schools hold the scores until January? I sent an email to the principal today asking when they expect to release scores to students. I’m not expecting a direct response from her (rarely does she ever give one!), but I’m wondering what the motives for holding them are?</p>
<p>Well you didn’t ask me but, from what I’ve gathered CB tends to like schools to be able to go over and explain every aspect of the PSAT with its takers And usually December is the busiest month for Guidance Counselor’s so it’s easier for them to sit down with the students after Break.</p>
<p>The assistant principal at my school said she would immediately let me know my score once she received all the PSAT scores.</p>
<p>So, no scores in Florida yet. =/</p>
<p>Astrophysicsmom, Kayleigh is correct. In addition, the schools receive the score reports, which they then have to match up with the test booklets (which the schools retained). During December, counselors are extremely busy with college recommendations, and students/parents are busy with concerts, etc. </p>
<p>I know it’s hard to wait, especially when others are already receiving their scores, but the time will pass and, unless you are planning to take the January SAT and want to prepare, there’s really no hurry. And no one is going to find out if they are even at the commended level until May, or semifinalist until late August. I have no idea why National Merit likes to stretch the process out so long- I’d really like the answer for that.</p>
<p>Those who have received scores please list that State that you are from and whether you go to a private or public HS and if you took the Wed or Sat test. Maybe there will be a pattern as to who is getting their scores so early. It’s possible that many HS don’t have them yet, right?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>My son is in a private school in Virginia, took the test on a Wed and got his score yesterday (Thursday). He got a 209. I have no idea what that means!</p>
<p>Can you check your score online or do you have to wait for your school to give it to you.</p>
