<p>OK, Semi finalists (SF) are only informed in the Sept/October time frame.<br>
You become a SF based on you PSAT score and your state. Every state had different cut off (for some states the cut off may 223 on the PSAT and 201 for another state).</p>
<p>However based on your PSAT scores and the state you live in, one can make informed guesses on if you will make to SF or remain commended. On CC, people collate the cut off scores by state (it varies by state) for the last several years. If you are at the cut off for your state or near the cut off, you may or may not make it as the cut offs sometimes change by a point or two. If you are far above the cut off you will make it based on the trend over the last so many years.</p>
