<p>Can students take the PSAT senior year and qualify to be National Merit Finalists?
Or was it strictly a junior year thing?</p>

<p>222 RI cut-off around 213</p>

<p>In recent years, people talked about PSAT cutoff would go down because the "upgrade" math contents or "recentered" Writing curves. But it looks the NMSF bars only lifted up year by year. Are your guys really think this year's cutoff will go down 1-3 points because the reason we've discussed so many times. I need the detailed and convinced info for this.</p>

<p>The highest cutoff is MA which was like 222 last year. </p>

<p>From NY:
230
M: 80
R:78
W:71</p>

<p>76-77-77 (Math CR Writing) for a 230 (took it this year). I know that beats NY's cutoff because I have never heard of a cutoff above 224....</p>
