<p>I go to school in X state, but live in Y state. Do I need to meet the X cutoff or the Y cutoff to get NMSF?</p>
<p>wow lol i want to know this too</p>
<p>almost positive you would be considered with other test-takers in your state of residence. I think it has to do with the address, city, state and other info you wrote on the test about where you live that they utilize to determine who gets scored where.</p>
<p>I'm almost positive that I've read several times that students that go to school in another state have to meet the cut-off scores of the state where their school is located. I remember reading many complaints from kids that go to prep schools in New England that they have to meet the high requirments in Mass. or Conn. even though their scores are high enough for the state in which their parents reside.</p>
<p>Actually, I just read in the official student guide for the PSAT test that a student can be considered for Semifinalist standing in only one state based on the high school in which the student is regularly enrolled when taking the PSAT. (page 6) It also says, however, that students that are enrolled in U.S. Boarding schools that enroll a sizable proportion of their students from outside the state in which the school is located may have a different cut-off score, and that score will be determined by the NMSC.</p>
<p>So it definitely IS the state you go to school in, not your state of residency, right?</p>
<p>You have to put X and Y together and solve for delta.</p>

<p>Thank you for that, Irvine Ivy. That made my day.</p>
<p>What if you are homeschooled and move from one state to another after taking the test? My understanding is that it is the state where you took the test that counts. . .or is it?</p>
