<p>3 wrong, 0 omit = 73 CR
1 Free Resp wrong, 0 omit = 77 math
4 wrong, 0 omit = 71 writing
Comp = 221 (PA)</p>
<p>CR: 5 wrong / 0 omit --> 69
M: 2 wrong / 0 omit --> 74
W: 4 wrong / 0 omit --> 71</p>
<p>My CR jumped 90 points, math dropped 20 points, and writing dropped 50 points.</p>
<p>well im from NY and i somehow managed to get 99th percentile even though i only got a 215 score. does that mean that the cutoff will be much lower this year since even with a 215 i made it to 99th? I heard the cutoff is usually at 218... i hope its lower this year lol.
CR: 69 (5 wrong)
Math 66 (6 wrong)
writing 80 (o wrong)</p>
<p>I dont want to dash your hopes, but for some reason, I dont think that the semi-finalist cutoffs are ever lowered (I could be wrong).......even if it was, it would have to drop 3 points..which is pretty sigNificant...I would still hope-but its kind of a reach (even if u are 99%).....
Again- I really dont know so dont put too much faith into my post.. I could be totally wrong...
Hope you get it though!!!!</p>
<p>usually, what percentage of the top 1% of PSAT scores actually makes it to the semi-finalist level?</p>
<p>Well, I am not sure of the exact numbers, but each year about 1.3 million people take the PSAT (<a href="http://www.nationalmerit.org/nmsp.php)%5B/url%5D">http://www.nationalmerit.org/nmsp.php)</a>. One percent would make it 13,000 people, and 16,000 people get in as Semifinalists. According to that logic, however, doesn't that mean ALL 99% scorers qualify as Semifinalists? @@". </p>
<p>I concur with vinny that I don't think the curve will be lower this year. I am even thinking that it might jump a point. Judging from the performance of my peers at school, I thought this test was easier than last year's administration.</p>
<p>I may be wrong, but doesn't the asterik next to your selection index tell you whether you made it or not?</p>

The presence of the asterisk indicates that you are not eligible for National Merit status, regardless of your score.</p>
<p>A quote from the back of my score report:</p>
<p>"If there is an asterisk (*) next to your Selection Index score, it means you do not meet requirements to enter NMSC competitions for awards to be offered in 2007."</p>
<p>Usually, for US citizens, it just means that you're not a junior, and because you aren't planning to graduate early, you have to take it as a junior.</p>
<p>thts what i thought at first gxing.... but no ... The asterisk not being there just means that you are eligible to get either commended or semi-finalist.... not that you definetly got it
I am prob confusing u more - hope u know what i mean</p>
<p>Tigger....</p>
<p>NMSF is for top .5%...so you need to be in 99.5% percentile, technically.</p>
<p>Also, that is compared to college-bound juniors...not NY state.</p>
<p>hmm i doubt im top .5% then, because i know 215 is not that high. i prob am like top .9% and just made the cut off for 99th percentile or soemthing like that. they release semi-finalist notification next september right?</p>
<p>its okay tigger... commended has some perks as well =)...</p>
<p>Truth be told, you may not get it in NY...</p>
<p>218 is usually the cutoff, but it is possible that it could drop.</p>
<p>plus....you beat 1,287,000 people!!!!!!! come on - you have to feel pretty good about that !</p>
<p>haha. yea right now i wish i lived somewhere where the cutoff was like 210 or something. damn NY...jk lol</p>
<p>Predict my minimum possible score you guys!!!</p>
<p>M: 0 wrong
W: 4 wrong max
CR: 6 wrong max and 1 omit</p>
<p>The MI cutoff has been hovering at about 210(211 last year) for the last couple of years. Am I safe or do I have soemthing to be worried about??? My scores should arrive in the mail at about Christmas time. Thank you very much!</p>
<p>Actually, the MI cutoff was 210 in 2005, and 209 in 2004.</p>
<p>I look on here and I am so envious. Granted, I'm a bright girl. I'm fourth in my class... I have a solid GPA. I just can't freakin' take tests. I did alright. I got 91st percentile, 186 or something. It's not horrendous. I know it's not CC worthy. I want to be better. </p>
<p>Anybody have good/bad experiences with Kaplan?</p>
<p>And is there anyone else out there who can't seem to tackle the Collegeboard? </p>
<p>Le sigh.</p>
<p>are u a soph or a junior?</p>
<p>Junior...</p>
<p>that makes it even worse.</p>
<p>I don't get it. I'm just not a SAT kid. I hate it, I wish it reflected what I'm capable of.</p>
