<p>@BerrySmoothie1 I would just get the Blue Book SAT Book and do those practice tests. I would also just print out past PSATs you can find off the internet and do those. I used this method to improve my score from 162 Sophomore year without any prep to 220 Junior Year with prep. </p>
<p>You got:
70 CR
80 M
78 W</p>
<p>Has anyone in NJ gotten their scores yet?</p>
<p>Can anyone tell me what the chances of NMSF are in Ohio with a 211, it was a 213 last year.
Thanks!</p>
<p>The best guess is probably seeing what score is the 99th percentile for your state…? It’s impossible to know what the cutoff will be</p>
<p>@XCjunior2016 Do you know where I can find that? Thanks! Also, it has been 211 before so I am hoping!</p>
<p>Anyone else have an opinion?</p>
<p>Did you log into the college board site with your access code? I believe it says on there somewhere </p>
<p>Oh ok, that makes sense, but doesn’t that just give the percentiles for the nation?</p>
<p>It gives both on the website, let me see where I found it</p>
<p>My college quick start >>> My online PSAT/NMSQT </p>
<p>It says your state percentile under your national percentile for each category. You can estimate the combined based on that</p>
<p>ok so i just did the hack method and i got 0 wrong in math, two wrong in reading and 5 wrong in writing. i think that gives me a 2210? Is that enough for nj?</p>
<p>It might be, @sonpat, but in 2 of the past 7 years it wasn’t enough according to <a href=“http://hubpages.com/hub/National-Merit”>http://hubpages.com/hub/National-Merit</a> . Really depends on the 2015 cutoff which they won’t release until next Fall. My son is likely to be in the same position in Maryland; it’s gonna be a long 9 months.</p>
<p>Commended cut comes out in April, which at least gives you a feel for the potential trends in general. Last year when it dropped from 203 to 201, there was a lot of happy dancing across the country by those on the bubble.</p>

<p>Thanks for the help. So my best bet would be to just study for the SAT, when working towards the PSAT? I’ll be taking it the same school year anyway. </p>
<p>I did the hack method:
1 wrong in writing
3 wrong in critical reading
0 wrong in math
is this 230?..omg I hope I didn’t miscount I don’t need this false hope </p>
<p>Can some estimate:
Reading -3
Writing -2
Math -0</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>If only I lived in North Dakota. 201 cutoff last year, man.</p>
<p>If you’re asking for your score based on the curve please remember to put the test form you took (wed vs sat)</p>
<p>I took it on wednesday…is the curve easier or harder then? </p>
