<p>GC got the scores back to everyone today. I’m in in CO with a very mediocre 216. Writing killed me the most - and on the ACT, it’s my highest subscore.</p>
<p>All cutoffs for 2011 testing dates can be found [url=<a href=“http://www.collegeplanningsimplified.com/NationalMerit.html]here[/url”>http://www.collegeplanningsimplified.com/NationalMerit.html]here[/url</a>] (scroll down).</p>
<p>25Squared, those are the cutoff scores for last year, the class of 2011. Anyone know when the scores for class of 2012 (took PSAT this October) will be posted anywhere?</p>
<p>I got a 221 in NJ, and 221 was the cutoff last year so I’m not sure if I’ll make it this year.</p>
<p>cut-offs for 2012 program will be known only in sept 2011. (usually +/- 2 or 3 from previous year’s)</p>
<p>i got a 220! CR: 69, M:72 (two really dumb mistakes), W: 79
Do you think that makes the cut off in Ohio?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Same situation here, and it’s p*ssing me off big-time. She’s got absolutely no reason to do so, apart from putting in some ‘letter’ that should easily be able to be sent via e-mail or separately. Plus, she’s mailing them back at the start of next week, so it won’t come till winter break starts.</p>
<p>That is amazing to me that you scored 233 on your psat & excellent on SAT. Have you really studied hard for both of them? What books do you use for preparing it?</p>
<p>you absolutely made it.</p>
<p>"Do you think that makes the cut off in Ohio? "</p>
<p>I’d bet money on it, since OH was 212 for the class of 2011 and 211 the year before that. That’d be a crazy jump. </p>
<p>Idnehzagup, we should start a support group. Or a pitchfork-toting mob.</p>
<p>220! 80 in math & writing and critical reading were okayish. im pretty sure i made my state’s cutoff because the cutoff last year was only 211.</p>
<p>deuces</p>
<p>My school released a list of 10 students they said qualified as National Merit Scholar Semi-Finalists from the October 2010 test. I live in Florida and they said the cutoff was 214. Is this just a prediction or is 214 the official qualifying score for Florida this year.</p>
<p>I got a 219 and the cutoff in my state last year was 217. But it went from 216 -> 218 -> 217, so idk. Do you think I’ll make it?</p>
<p>Also, if I took the PSAT in October, and the actual SAT in December, what do you think my score will be?</p>
<p>Critical Reading: 80 (99%)
Mathematics: 68 (94%)
Writing Skills: 71 (98%)
Total: 219 (99%)</p>
<p>@midnight studier: They can’t possibly know that. Schools aren’t made aware of the cut-off until April I believe, plus Fl has been experiencing a drop in cut-off scores (sad, but good for me) so a 4 point jump in one year is extremely unlikely especially with the MASSIVE budget cuts we suffered from this year.</p>
<p>Got my results today. 218!!! i come from a state with one of the lowest cutoffs so qualifying as a semifinalist isn’t a problem. </p>
<p>Oh also last year, sophomore year, i got 181. I didn’t study at all since then. Anyone who tells you that you can’t improve is full of it.</p>
<p>do you think the curve is going to go down/ stay the same/ or increase.</p>
<p>in florida it has trended down from 212 to 211 to 210 and i got a 210 this year.</p>
<p>any predictions?</p>
<p>Pretty bumbed </p>
<p>Is there any way to handscore my test cause</p>
<p>Math-71 (1 I managed to get wrong cause a scanning error)
CR-71 (1 I managed to get wrong cause a scanning error)
Writing-67-(I got 4 wrong due to scanning errors) </p>
<p>Grand Total 209-a bit bummed</p>
<p>FMLLL!!! I got 216, and the cutoff for New York was 217 last year and 218 the year before :(; I’m praying that most people this year were idiots! lol</p>
<p>CR: 69
M: 72
W: 75</p>
<p>CR: 80
M: 73 (epic fail)
W: 80
Total: 233
Oh and for those of you who think that a bad or average PSAT scores means the equivalent on the SAT, don’t despair. I actually did better on my SAT.</p>
<p>A 233 is hardly an epic fail.</p>
<p>The people on this forum…</p>
<p>To harvard76: Are you sure there were that many errors made on your test b/c of the scoring?</p>
<p>Is this normal?</p>
<p>Our school has received our scores and has decided to hand them “before December break.” I imagine they’re waiting for some useless assembly… </p>
<p>I’ve already gotten my SAT scores, and I have this horrible feeling that I’m going to do significantly worse on these.</p>
<p>I’m kind of confused. I got 99th percentile in the nation, but I’m right off the cutoff mark for my state [TX], which usually has 215+. I got a 214:
CR: 69
M: 70
W: 75
On Collegeboard, it says the state percentiles were:
CR: 98th percentile
M: 97th percentile
W: 99th percentile</p>
<p>How does this translate, National-Merit chances wise? ><</p>
