PSAT 2015: Share your score and percentile

(Also I’ve read in several places that to get your SI you add up your individual scores like the 36 math 35 reading and 37 writing and double it- anyone know if this is true?)
Also does anyone think I’ll make the cutoff for Florida NMSF?

@samgallahan You are correct on how to calculate the SI. I think you have a great chance to be a NMSF in Florida!

I think part of the %ile confusion of students’ reporting on this site is that they are most likely not all jrs. Sophomore/freshman percentiles are going to be higher for lower scores bc they are being compared to their own grade level expectations.

@Mom2aphysicsgeek I have removed a couple of sophomore percentiles from my chart. I actually started to put my daughter’s scores in until I thought about it. And it’s not intuitive to put in the “user” percentile, especially since I originally asked for the number right next to the score, which is the general population number.

@theshadow Nope, just read another post giving directions to an online percentile we had missed. You are right.

I’ll edit, darn it.

@jerzmaster @EarlVanDorn D’s SI was 217. Scores and percentiles were submitted in error, please see below.
Score Natl User
CR 35 98 97
W 37 99 99
M 36.5 99 98

Sorry for the confusion and thanks for the catch @theshadow Sadly, no NF here.

  3. No

Not sure if you have mine already- if not - here goes:

  1. New England Boarding School
    1. Total: 1480 Sections: R/W= 730 Math= 750 Test: R= 36 W= 37 M= 37.5 Index: 221 Percentiles?: 99th for all

Did not get the TASP email and did not take the PSAT as a sophomore.

@aron I think that your daughter’s scores are exceptional and should be in the NMSF range. I’m naturally an optimist, but based on the information I have seen I think 217 SI will be NMSF in many states.

I don’t know how I missed it but in on-line, but they did provide 3 subject percentiles.
FWIW, here is our data.

Reading 32 93/92 Sample/User
Writing 33 98/96
Math 37.5 99/99
SI 205 No percentile

That’s odd. My junior daughter got a 35 in reading and 99%. Many others have reported the same.

So many posts on this subject. I am calling your attention to http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/discussion/comment/19165844/#Comment_19165844 which says that college board released the national percentile of SI scores to GCs and a 2015 SI of 207 is in the 99th percentile. That may not be the lowest 99 percentile score.

@mathyone Thank you. That is what we have been looking for.

@jerzmaster Thanks, I usually am as well. But we’ve been down this road with D1 and simply want to be realistic. If Testmasters’ guesstimate turns out to be a point high, we’ll celebrate.

If we take it from “Percentile” data @gasenioryear, SI 99% is around 207.
Then, Concordance table estimates too low and Testmasters’ estimate is too high.

It is consistent with what we were finding; across-board-99% is around 210, thus actuall 99% would be slightly lower.

BTW, was 207 “sample” or “user” 99 %ile? no one will ever know, but at higher % range, they should be off only by 1-2.

@payn4ward et al thanks for posting how to get section percentiles!!!
