<p>Congrats to everyone for these good scores!</p>
<p>Whoa, PaniKirjava, those reading and math curves are pretty generous. Did you take the Wednesday test? My math was -1 = 75.</p>
<p>Congrats on getting the score you wanted =)</p>
<p>By the way, does anyone know/think if 221 is high enough for California? Thanks.</p>
<p>Yes freakchild12, i think 221 should cut it for CA, as last year the cutoff was either 217 or 219.</p>
<p>my school really sucks, and why doenst collegeboard put them on the internet yet…</p>
<p>im almost positive every school has recieved them</p>
<p>i still dont know what -4/-5/-6/-7 on CR for wed were…i think i got like -6 and i have only like 5 point threshold for NMSF</p>
<p>Gah, apparently our guidance dept is too occupied with college apps to hand out our psats. I know I’ll show a lot more understanding next year but still…</p>
<p>^ Same here…but at the same time I don’t want to get too frustrated because I know this time next year I would really appreciate the attention from my counselor…</p>
<p>Being a National Merit Semifinalist/Finalist is national recognition, right? So does that look good on college apps, or does nobody care?</p>
<p>^ It certainly won’t hurt your application. You can also look into any possible scholarship opportunities, either college or corporate sponsored.</p>
<p>National Merit Semifinalist/Finalist definitely look good on college apps.</p>
<p>Lol i dropped from sopohmore year

<p>bob123123 and others: </p>
<p>I have been helped by the many who have posted, so I hope this will help you in return.<br>
My son got his goal of 215:</p>
<p>Wed. test:</p>
<p>215: 99%</p>
<p>CR: 68 -6
M: 74 -1 1 omit
W: 73 -2</p>
<p>For those who are not yet Juniors: he raised his score from, 158 Freshman yr to 197 soph. to 215 when it counted: We hope it’s enough for NMS in Ks.</p>
<p>DoleWhip,
Congratulations-you are definitely NMSF in NY.</p>
<p>The Wed curve list is by POINTS as I know for a fact that 8 wrong no omits on Writing was a 60. I can add the info that 2 omits, 6 wrong (so -8) on CR was 66. And I can also confirm that 3 wrong on writing (so -4) is a 70.</p>
