To be commended with PSAT selection index of 203 (97 percentile)?

<p>I'm so close to getting semi-finalist! ARGH! I got a 216 this year on the PSATs, which made me quite upset, as I got a 236 last year. At least I did well on my SATs.</p>

<p>Lol. I was upset with my PSAT score too (217). Then I eventually realized it doesn't even matter... I'm so poor, I'll get a free ride scholarship no matter what.</p>

<p>xcotter, that really sucks..i went down from last year too but not that much</p>

<p>is the semi-finalist cut-off inclusive or not..as in, if the cut-off is 222, will a 222 make it, or does it have to be 223?</p>

<p>wow I get 80 on reading then get 60 on writing and 61 on math. On the math I switched the answers to two of the fill ins. Im so stupid. If the 201 doesnt get me commended I'll be pist</p>

<p>man...I made a retard mistake on math, and I ended up with 75...JUST FROM ONE PROBLEM!!! I got 201 as a total as well, and it does say 97th percentile...I'm wracked with anxiousness...It better be commended...</p>

<p>our psats came back today, i got 96th percentile, i hope thats the minimum i wanna be commended :)</p>

<p>I got a score of 209: 98th percentile I think it was. I live in a territory of the United States. Is this a good enough score to be commended? Is semi finalist for 99th percentile only? and what are the percentiles for commended? Thank you! Oh, and I would like to know how many people in territories recieve the semi finalist so I can see my chances! Much appreciation!</p>
