<p>I live in AL, home of the dirt roads and houses without plumbing. </p>
<p>So, I got a 214 on the PSAT. Last year's PSAT merit cutoff was 212.Has anyone seen a more than 2 point increase in a state in 1 year for merit cutoff before?</p>
<p>yes...if you look at the link of cutoffs for the past several years(somewhere around this board) you will see that there have been states where cutoffs have gone up by 3.
However, judging by the national average of scores declining I would think this to be highly unlikely unless you're at a state where the cutoffs are already incredibly high</p>
<p>You're probably fine.</p>
