Hey @CA1543 ,
I received a SI of 200. I doubt that’ll surpass any of the cutoffs. The past’s cutoff for PA was 216 I think.

@Lakritz – thanks for letting us know - really appreciate it.
Here we go… updated real scores. 2 separate lists. They are getting longer and harder to work with so if you see mistakes, please let me know. I have to post 2nd table in a separate post…

@SLparent – Thanks sooo much - I think having this real data is very helpful and greatly appreciate your compiling the charts. 
@CA1543 no problem. Thanks for passing along the links, scores, etc…
my sons friend Me also had a 222 another friend 216(academic decathlon kid)and another friend 1362 all from Maine they were the smart gates math kids or English kids
Thanks for the data! I was curious and did a histogram. 358 observations. Lots of disclaimers - small sample size, skewed highly, etc etc. but in
But interesting nonetheless. Unfortunately I can’t paste the picture but here are the percentages.

It’s easier to see in graphic form but there are some clusters in the curve, at least of this small sample.
@MomNJof2 that is interesting…but what does it tell us?
Some have speculated that the distribution of scores won’t be perfectly normal, but rather have some lumps. This admittedly small sample supports that idea. But it’s not enough to draw any real conclusions.
did any of you check today’s Google doodle? relevant to PSAT
Interesting. Lump at 220, 218, and 216. And you really don’t see much above 226. 223 is when things generally start to increase.
It could just be the sample but I’m guessing that between 220 and 223 is where you see a lot of the highest scoring states - that might also be where a large number of kids would be just making or missing the cut-off.
Interesting that 219 didn’t have more. 358 is not really that small a sample.
One caveat is that it’s possible some scores are double counted. @SLparent got some off the prep-scholar website and other sources and it’s always possible that some of those posters are also posting here under another moniker.
Here a
Re a few more score percentages
209 1.4
208 2.2
207 0.6
206 3.4
The numbers at each SSI drop off significantly after 206 which is the result of the skewed sample group on this post.
@MomNJof2 Do your percentages include both tables of mine? Thanks
I agree that it’s interesting, and that it’s hard to draw any conclusions. For example, there’s probably a very strong bias among the people that are here towards scores that are close to a cutoff in their state. Is anyone with a 202 in CA going to stick around and follow 150 pages of posts?
If you do a histogram by state, I bet there are humps somewhere in the range between the percentile-predicted cutoff and the concordance table predicted cutoff. So for CA, that would be I guess 215 - 220 or so. For other states it would probably be lower.
Does that show that there are lots of scores in that range? Or is it just a demonstration of the bias among people around who are posting their scores…
@slparent yes I think I grabbed both lists, two posts. I tried to clean up to isolate just the SSI but undoubtedly there i are a few errors.
@theshadow yes I agree there is likely some self selection in the data. I think my D is probably close to her cutoff so I have been following this. If she got a 228 I would have patted her on the back and given myself a pat for being such an awesome parent and stopped obsessing over the cutoffs /
Also I am an analyst and I like to analyze things. I don’t know that it really tells us anything but it was weirdly satisfying.
None of these analysis matters unless you get each School (depending up on each State) actual data from each School with number of NMSF average in previous years then you can predict close enough. Only high scorers will stick around here as other poster stated. This is also not a exact science but it will be close to the real cut-off! Percentiles/concordance and other site predictions are all will be way off from the actual cut-off. So, don’t sweat on those. Instead contact the School and get the averages on the high end above 215 or 220. More the School data is better from each state.
Schools are helpful as data points since they tend to churn out so many a year, and even if it varies you have a range to work with.
Our problem is that D3’s HS counselors aren’t even focusing on this AT ALL till at least this Wed. when the kids are rumored to get their paper scores. Seems the online release (even several weeks late) and all those stats available to the GC’s have not prompted ours to get a move on. They probably welcomed the delay because it gave them more time to work with the kids at the other end of the college prep spectrum (esp. seniors who are trying to get accepted somewhere - or graduate). My guess is that they are just now starting to look at PSAT stuff and figure out how the class did . . .
@MomNJof2 – wonder - what percentage is under 210? thanks.
