If the PSAT you took was a real one,you can call the National merit corporation, and tell them that you will be graduating a year early, and they will change your status.



Yes. ellemenope found the correct information from the National Merit website. Indeed, this is one of the reasons that National Merit semifinalist cut-off scores for each state are announced so long after the test: sometimes students move up their plans to graduate from high school by a year, so the number of students applicable to one year changes enough in some states to change the level of the cut-off score. (I learned this on a Brand X email list, from the parent of current Harvard senior).
