I hope testmasters estimates are high. My son was commended in class of 2013 with a 203 in AL and our cutoff that year was 209. His commendation status got him nothing. We were just proud of him!
To anyone who had just received their scores today, how did you do it???
@Ynotgo Is it possible that the Mar test will be used in any way as data? I am skeptical that the March testers will be indicative of a normal test taking group. I am wondering how many students will be taking it.
I figured it out. Thanks! 35 CR is 98/97. Not looking so good for NMSF now.
@miottawa I didn’t even need the access code. I literally logged on five minutes ago and it was just there. I suggest you try doing that.
thanks itsgettingreal17…so there we have it:
lowest 99th percentiles:
Read - 36
Write - 35
Math - 37
sum of the three 108…times 2 = 216.
That appears to be the lowest national number…of course each state is different
@ frogschool, so do you think the new testmasters projections are way off?
that is unless someone can find a lower writing score of 34 that was 99th USER percentil…most reports have come in with 34 being 98
Couldn’t a 213, for example, also be 99th percentile, considering that not every high scoring student scores 99th percentile in ALL 3 subjects?
Stiiiiiillll nooooooo scooooooores!
My son hasn’t been able to access his scores either. We’ve been trying since Thursday. His 8th, 9th and 10th grade scores are there, but nothing for this year. His counselor told me the College Board only sent them access codes for the 9th grade students so there’s no way for the school to tell me his scores. She suggested just waiting until the end of January when the school receives the hardcopy reports.
We never received the promised email with the access code. He entered his student ID but the system says it’s not recognized. This is extremely frustrating!
We’re in Loudoun County, Virginia.
The lowest state last year was a 202 and the highest 225, for a spread of 23. If 216 is now the lowest, some states would require pretty much a perfect score assuming not all states performed as well, which is typical. Something seems really off with that.
Because on the ACT, for example, a person could score 98th percentile in each subject, and still get a 34, which is 99th percentile(even 33 is 99th).
How do you guys see the percentiles for the SI scores in each section? I know my SI scores in each section but cant see the percentiles for it.
Does anyone know whether more students in the US took the 2015 PSAT exam as I heard the numbers were much higher which would impact both the number of NMSF recipients and to the extent that the overall curve is flatter would decrease score required to achieve same?
Looking at a 219 in NJ so trying to figure out what it could mean.
@frogschool, A student does NOT need to have a 99% in R, W and M to have an SI of 99%. Clearly someone with a M of 98% or even 97% can be 99% in SI. This whole line of reasoning is faulty. We have data sent from CB to GC showing an SI of 207 is 99%. Why doubt that?
Premiumsalt…I do believe you are correct, which would mean that number could be a little under 216 and maybe cloase to 210
speedy2019…I had not heard that…you telling me the College Board actually send you or someond the 99th percent USER cutoff?
I understand that 216, maybe a bit high
frogschool, A student reported previously that the CB’s spreadsheet sent to counselors listed the percentile ranking associated with a given SI. A student with a 207 SI was shown to be in the 99th percentile.
Is 99th percentile a guarantee for semi-finalist?
