@LAD2266 Some schools have 40 NMSFs every year. Crazy. Because of too many people, they don’t even ask them to stand up individually.
@dallaspiano, the quotes I’m talking about are in those previous year reports, not this current one. One if the two is written every year to the right of the percentile table. Page 3 of the report. 2012 was the year it changed. Prior to that was that year’s sample, 2012 forward was the full previous year data. Make sense? It takes a while to process the full implications of that for the historical data.
@fun1234 , you need to call CB on Monday for them to merge the two accounts. Once they are merged, you will see the scores right away. DD was the same situation.
@pokemon1 Same lol. I don’t know if I’ll ever get it.
So if the highest cutoff scores are indeed 219/220 (projected), does that mean those even with 99% that got 216-218 will not receive nmsf?
@ dallaspiano 1.) Are you a junior? 2.) Are you in the 99th percentile for each subject?
@PAMom21 I see what you are talking about. It looks like they increased the sample size each year. From 2005 to 2008, in the 99th percentile (which would affect the other percentiles) it appears to have decreased the score needed in writing to be in the 99th percentile. Math and Reading stayed about the same (for the 99th percentile). Since there is no previous year’s test, maybe the sample is students who actually took the test, but not all of them.
@ekim5984 Correct. In the higher cutoff states, those even with 99% did not receive NMSF in the past. Last year, lowest 99% was 213 out of 240. Plenty of states had higher cutoff.
@micgeaux I don’t think @dallaspiano had 99% for each subject.
W 33 puts him/her 96% user %ile for junior.
Still no score in MD
Same @jruesmith7 What do you think you got?
@YoohooAddict
Just really frustrated that it has taken so long. I’ll probably cry a few tears if I didn’t do well.
Hopefully I got +700 for both, but going into the test I didn’t know the curves or how many I could get wrong
@jruesmith7 Yea it’s taken an awfully long time… Realistically, I think I got 600+ on Verbal and about 700 or maybe 690 on Math. However, I really do want to be somewhat lucky and somehow get 700+ on both lol…
Does anyone know how many points each correct math answer is worth?
How are you guys seeing the percentiles for each subject? I only see percentiles for math and R+W, not reading and writing separately.
Does anyone know what score one needs on the SAT to validate the PSAT score for NMF? Is there a minimum score required?
@garyasho2 scroll to the bottom of that page where there are three columns with the SI for R, W and M. The title of that table is “Test Scores”. Look to the far right at the top of the table and in little print is something that says, i think, “show details” click on that then scroll down and you will see percentiles.
Any “revised” predictions of the SI cut off for the 99%thile? 207? 210? I am not a master at crunching or analyzing the numbers so just wondering
@DOTexe In the past, 2000 (~1960) on oldSAT was good enough.
@CA1543 It’s probably close to 207 but we don’t know if it’s “sample national” or “user national” or “acutal,” Grrrrrr
@alltoomouch Near the perfect score, the costs for 4 wrongs are – 1 point math, 2 points reading, 4 points writing and double that for S.I.
