<p>225 is not what I expected. I was hoping to be in the 230's. Oh, who cares. At least I got semi-finalist.</p>
<p>225 99%
75 R
74 M -die >>; I got an 80 here last year
76 W</p>
<p>Arkansas.. our cutoff last year was like 206?</p>
<p>Jimbob: I know what you mean about the hard cutoff. Last year my friend missed 2 in writing and still got an 80, and this year I missed 2 and got a 76 (ugh) + 219 is 99% this year and last year it was only 98%</p>
<p>you will definitely make it. What do you think will be the minimum cutoff this year for commended?</p>
<p>no clue, but my dad predicts around 200 since the 99% is lower (did I just see someone say 216 was a 99 this year? gosh..)</p>
<p>and congrats to your school numberone :D over 100 commended + semis wow that's nice</p>
<p>Yeah, its amazing. My school has so many people in it, and so many smart people. They practically prepare us for standardized tests.</p>
<p>anybody have any idea what the georgia cutoff will be this year?</p>
<p>pretty low. It shouldn't be that high.</p>
<p>240</p>
<p>Alabama, yea that's right! haha</p>
<p>226, 99%tile, MD, hopefully semifinalist. What do you guys think?</p>
<p>Really, you got a 240. Nice job.</p>
<p>i'm confused... how do you guys know whether you'll be a semi-finalist or not?
my suspicion is that you're just speculating.</p>
<p>anyway, who cares to speculate whether a 229 from NJ will be a semi?</p>
<p>Well, you can call it speculation if you like, but if you're at least 5+ points above the cutoff in previous years, it's almost totally certain that you'll make semifinalist. The curves don't vary much from year to year, and the PSAT (as well as the SAT) is designed to be comparable from year to year. Thus, the cutoff will be approximately the same, and it is valid to say that you're going to be a Semi or Commended for sure.</p>
<p>You're set with a 229. That puts you a whole 7-8 points above the 221-222 cutoff in NJ.</p>
<p>220</p>
<p>whatever, it was practice, pulled a solid 2310 on the real thaaaang</p>
<p>nice job. Who here did better on the SAT than the psat. Post both scores.</p>
<p>I got EXACTLY what I predicted 1 week before I got the test:
77 Math
74 CR
73 Writing
Since I was sooo accurate in my predicting skills, might as well try again, right? :D
I will get a 2400 on the January SAT</p>
<p>^ LOL.
=p</p>
<p>numberone, do u go to harker</p>
<p>no I don't, but I know where that is.</p>
<p>haha then you go to msj/lynbrook/toga?</p>
<p>227- semifinalist...Kentucky- it's too easy to get it here. The cutoff is only 211, and despite the low score, last year my school didn't even have any one commended.</p>
