<p>will i receive these scores in the mail or at school? If it’s at school, I really hope I get them tomorrow even though I’m expecting a max of like 180 lol.</p>
<p>Still no PSAT, though I got a letter from TASP. Fingers crossed…</p>
<p>Incidentally, what’s the minimum PSAT score of people who get letters from TASP?</p>
<p>^^Don’t know, but S, at 209, the cut-off for the current year in AZ, got one.</p>
<p>Got my results back today, managed to get a 192! 58 CR, 69 M (thought that would be higher…), 65 W. Not great, but I’m happy with it (: Hoping I can get my SAT score over 2000. I have about a month to prep!</p>
<p>@Idnehzagup Got mine today (235). Here’s hoping that yours is a sign of good scores to come! :)</p>
<p>got it today:</p>
<p>64 CR
76 M
67 W</p>
<p>207 total (epic fail, i know)</p>
<p>on a separate note, what do you predict the cutoff for UT 2012 will be?</p>
<p>R- 80
M- 76
W- 80</p>
<p>Wow… Better than I ever expected!! o.O</p>
<p>223
80 Math
72 Critical Reading
71 Writing
I did 0 prep so i hope i can do better</p>
<p>Someone at my school got a 240 as well. </p>
<p>I’m assuming 222 is safe for CA right? Last year’s cutoff was 219.</p>
<p>What was last year’s ny cutoff?</p>
<p>NY’s cutoff for 2011 was 217.</p>
<p>@JennyChin Haha I’m repling to your other post but yeah, I’m applying to TASP and I got my postcard today.</p>
<p>@Idnehzagup They say top 3-4 thousand scores so I’m thinking at least a 230? I got a 235, so hopefully that means you did pretty well.</p>
<p>CR 80
M 80
W 71 </p>
<p>Total: 231</p>
<p>Where can I find past semifinalist qualifying scores for each individual state? (Or can someone tell me VA’s? :))</p>
<p>Edit: nvm I found them</p>
<p>80-76-69, 225 in Hawaii.</p>
<p>If I had just remembered that the problem asked for 3w, not just w, it would have been 80-80-69. </p>
<p>I think it’s safe to say I made the cut-off. I’ll be our school’s first semifinalist in…ever. I think the best we had was a commended student last year. Oh well. I’m happy with my score. (:</p>
<p>I got 210 and I’m living in Idaho…
The cutoffs from previous 4 years are…
204(2008), 208(2009), 209(2010), 208(2011), ???(2012)</p>
<p>Did I make it (whats the probability that I make it) ??? (bear in mind ID isn’t like the non-populous Alaska, which has a very fluctuating curve) (scared about the 4+ jump in 2008 and 2009)…</p>
<p>In Maryland, what was the cutoff exactly? I looked at the list and saw that it was 220. However, a teacher of mine who has a lot of experience with PSAT scores said that the cutoff is usually between 217-219 and the highest the cutoff has ever been was a 220. But I looked back at Maryland’s cutoffs and they seem to go from 221-220.
Class of 08 (221)
Class of 09 (220)
Class of 10 (221)
Class of 11 (220)
Would the cutoff follow this pattern for the class of 2012?</p>
<p>naya1x - a 231 will be NMSF in any state.</p>
<p>I live in Puerto Rico and still haven’t received my scores!!! Does anyone know when I should expect them??</p>
<p>224 in Jersey.</p>
<p>80 CR
69 M
75 W</p>
<p>2 stupid questions wrong on Writing. I’ve been through 4 or 5 SAT practice tests (in the blue College Board book) and I’ve done perfectly on those. I understand the Writing section is dominated by the essay, and sort of a moot point anyways, but I write well and am hoping to do better, if not nigh-perfectly, on the actual SAT Writing section. In any case, the math score definitely needs to come up. Sadly, it’s geometry that has been my greatest weakness. Guess I’ve gotta hire a tutor 
In any case, I’m fairly sure I made the Semifinalist cutoff for New Jersey, barring any large jump in the 219-221 cutoff point that has been established in the last few years.</p>
<p>I know it won’t be a long while until these letters come, but how exactly do they weed out the Finalist from the Semifinalists? </p>
<p>Congrats to everybody on jobs well done!</p>
<p>^Semifinalists are distinguished by the cutoff. Once the Semifinalists are established, then the Finalists are decided through a process. The Finalists must take the SAT and score above the designated cutoff level (around 1960). Also, they must write an essay and have letters of recommendation, among other things. 94% of Semifinalists make it to Finalist standing. The only reason I can see that a person wouldn’t make the cut is if they didn’t make the SAT cutoff, didn’t write the essay, got in trouble at school, or didn’t send everything in on time. </p>
<p>It’ll be a long wait until September for me. I’ll definitely be Commended, but in a state where the cutoff has hovered between 211-213, a score of 212 is iffy. I’m so scared. But then again, I never expected to even get that score, which is why I didn’t study (mad at myself) Oh, and my weakness is math, too! (76 CR, 75 W, 61 M)</p>
<p>Congrats to everyone! Only 50k or so are chosen to be Commended or to advance further in the NMSC, but it seems like half of them are on CC’s boards! :)</p>
