<p>anyone know the cutoffs for commended and semi for each state?</p>
<p>Here's an anecdotal account compiled by poster rivj for last year's cut-offs. College Board no longer publishes an official listing, so this is the best info available to my knowledge.</p>
<p>The table below shows minimums for the 2007 National Merit Program (2005 PSAT) in blue, based on posts to this thread between 8/24/06 and 9/21/06. It includes historical minimums from a variety of sources, which are mostly listed in post #354. State/regions for which 2007 data are not shown did not receive adequate posts to comment on their minimum.
