National Merit Cutoffs possibly going up?

<p>I don’t see that data at all in the state reports. Just the rather course breakdown by 5 pt bands for CR, Math and Writing by nation, region and state.</p>

<p>But nothing that shows the breaks between percentages like in the “Understanding your Score…” booklet.</p>

<p>In my state, using the gap between 99 and 99+ and then adjusting for graduation numbers is a fairly reliable predictor. The state data can indicate a move direction, but much harder to quantify, especially if the relative difficulty of the test cannot be compared to previous years.</p>
