vinny posted the curves on this thread a few pages back. I'll see if I can find them.</p>

<p>EDIT: here you go:


</p>

702

<p>I don't think that curve is right. 4 wrong, none skipped, equalled 68 on Math (Saturday test).</p>

703

<p>That's what it is on the curve...</p>

<p>4 wrong + 1/4(4) = 5 raw points off.</p>

<p>Look five points to the right of perfect for Math and you have 68.</p>

<p>:)</p>

704

<p>Yes, thank you, but what about the <em>make-up</em> curve? RunRin, any ideas - or just if you found it harsh or not?</p>

705

<p>When was there a makeup test!?!?</p>

706

<p>THE CURVE IS NOT RIGHT because there is NO 64 math for WEDNESDAY OCT.12 when I GOT A 64!!</p>

707

<p>Um...I took my makeup sometime in November due to Hurricane Katrina.</p>

708

<p>the make-up curve was VERY lenient</p>

709

<p>

You can get a 64 if you got X and 1/4 or 1/2 pts off</p>

710

<p>there was a make-up test?</p>

<p>*** ON MATH? I tried to look back at my work to see what I'd done wrong. On one problem I wrote that 6/12=2. And then I couldn't bear it any longer.</p>

<p>Anyway, I should be fine for NMS in my state.... I was just pretty disappointed in the math. That's 6 points lower than last year and 8 points lower than my SAT. And I'm in calculus, dang it!</p>

<p>Ive heard that the national merit scholars commend usually the 96th percentile. im in the 95th.. :( maybe if Im lucky..
also does anyone know what the average scores are for national merit hispanic recognition? for california?</p>

717

<p>The commended cut-off isn't based on percentile but on score. Unfortunately, last year's cutoff was 202 and this year's is going to be higher than that. :( However, you did do really well on the PSAT (95%ile's still VERY good!) so good job! :)</p>

<p>As for the NMHR you asked about, no idea and CA's normal NMSF cutoff is around 216, isn't it? Its commended is the same as that anywhere else in the nation - probably 203 this year.</p>

718

<p>Does anyone know what the texas cutoff is?</p>

719

<p>216 last year. Go to page 28 of this thread (post #558) for the cutoffs of every state for 2004 and 2005.</p>

<p>My school STILL hasn't given them back.</p>
