<p>What is it? I'm dying to know. =/</p>
<p>I took the wednesday test: I got 3 wrong on math (1 was gridin), 0 on writing 4 on cr. Anyone want to predict my score?</p>
<p>I'll predict:</p>
<p>M: 73
CR:76ish
W:80</p>
<p>Total: 229</p>
<p>That is enough for NJ cutoff</p>
<p>Expect the cutoff to be around 223</p>
<p>it's usually around 221</p>
<p>my predition would be
M - 69
CR - 74
W - 80</p>
<p>when i took it my soph year, i got 2 wrong in math and got a 72</p>
<p>223</p>
<p>CR should be around 73, although math might be higher, I don't think it'll be as harsh as last year's.</p>
<p>mm, NJ is one of the highest states along with NY and MA, I think.</p>
<p>I'm pretty sure it was 222 this year for semifi. Usually the cutoffs go up year by year but who knows.</p>
<p>Agreeing with sr6622 on the 223 cutoff.</p>
<p>Yeah 76 on CR is a bit high</p>
<p>probably a 73...</p>
<p>in which case you would get a 226</p>
<p>im a senior right now in a NJ high school. LAst year's PSAT i got a 211 and got commended scholar. I belive the cutoff was 223 last year for semi-finalist.</p>
<p>Thanks for the replies. I think you misunderstood my cr score, though. I got 4 wrong, meaning that's a raw score of 43/48. So shouldn't my cr score be lower? Math I'm expecting a 70 at best, based on last year's curve (hopefully they're make it better).</p>
<p>223 cutoff? Wasn't it 221 before?</p>
<p>actually i think ur right. I cant remeber correctly :)</p>
<p>It was 222 this year in NJ. Second highest score-wise (there were 1 or 2 with 223).</p>
<p>And don't be surprised if you got more wrong than you think you did.</p>
<p>I know, I won't be. But I checked all the critical reading and writing questions. Math I might have made more stupid mistakes...let's hope not.</p>
<p>Last year's cutoff was 222 (three-way tie for the highest cutoff in the nation). The year before it was 221. I don't think it'll rise again to 223.</p>
<p>Math: 70ish
CR: 75ish
W: 80</p>
<p>We're probably going to get similar cumulative scores, since I missed one math and (probably) several CR questions.</p>
<p>Is everyone expecting a higher CR curve than usual? A -5 on the practice test is only 72 but the range here seems to be 73-75.</p>
<p>PSAT cutoff for 2006 graduating seniors: already raised to 222!
(i.e. those who took PSAT in 10/04).
Hope it doesn't rise AGAIN!</p>
<p>bumpity....</p>
<p>Woah, so 222 WAS the highest? I thought there was a 223 somewhere, but maybe that was last year...</p>
<p>anyways, making the cut in the hardest state makes you feel good inside :)</p>
<p>Why are you bumping this thread?</p>
<p>Hm, maybe I should invade. =D</p>
<p>1 wrong on math, 0 writing, 5ish CR.</p>
<p>That's around a 228 with 71 CR and 77 Math. ;)</p>
<p>Almost there!
