<p>I think math will be more generous than last year, as it was MUCH harder (for wednesday/wednesday at least)...but CR was much easier.</p>
<p>I think the curve will be:
M CR W
80 80 80
78 78 79
74 76 77
70 72 74
68 70 71</p>
<p>howmuch is needed for commended again?? 200 something?? i really want to get atleast commeneded XD</p>
<p>Dekan.... your curve scares me!!! I am borderline commended if that is the curve...</p>
<p>How bout....
Writing - 80 80 78 76 74 71 70 ....
C.R - 80 79 77 75 73 71 70....
Math - 80 79 77 75 73 71 ....</p>
<p>Yes, I am very optomisitc.....but the psat on wed was much harder then last yrs psat overall!! </p>
<p>BTW- Dekan, your curve is worse than last year!!! If that is the case, I am screwed..</p>
<p>I just thought that CR was easier this year than last year and W was easier too (at least that's what I think)</p>
<p>MarkSW: the cut off scores varies by state...in MD, MA, and DC for example, the cut off score was 222 (the highest in the nation)</p>
<p>what does everyone else think??</p>
<p>I honestly thought the passages/vocab from last yr was much easier..
Every yr, writing is pretty much the same...</p>
<p>thank you very much...umm but isnt the dependence of state for semi-finalst?? or finalist??</p>
<p>Dekan, Mark is talking about commended, not semi-finalist</p>
<p>To be commended, you need over a 203 (maybe 204 this yr).... no matter what state you live in..</p>
<p>Mark, I'm not sure what you are asking, but the cut off scores are for semi-finalist standings. To advance into the finalist level, you must submit essays, SAT scores, recs, etc.</p>
<p>o sry, i did not read "commended". My bad</p>
<p>okay thanks..i was asking for COMMENDED and vinny says 203-204 so thanks again. Sorry i was confusing to you guys, i appreciate input about semi-finalist and finalist from each of you. Thanks again</p>
<p>no problem... i am not sure about semi-finalist numbers.. they are posted in some thread on this site- you can search if you are interested, but i couldnt find the thread...</p>
<p>Here's a lik to the thread with the semi-finalist numbers.
