<p>OMG that was the ONE I got wrong in writing!!! ONLY STINKING ONE! >_<
As a homeschooled student, mine were sent directly to my school, i.e house. </p>
<p>The curve:</p>
<p>-5 CR = 71 (ACK!)
-1 W = 76 (<em>dies of shame</em>) Probably the HARSHEST EVER!
-7 M = 66 (meh…)</p>
<p>biovball - D missed one in CR and still got an 80, so I don’t think that section was as bad.</p>
<p>I missed 4 in critical reading and got a 73, 80 in math, and missed 2 in writing and got a 71. Overall, I got a 224. still don’t know if that’s enough to qualify for national merit competition cause I live in NJ…</p>
<p>The writing curve is REALLY harsh this time :(</p>
<p>I got my score in the middle of the day Monday, mostly because I was basically camping out in front of the guidance office. I was a Saturday test taker. Does anybody know a way to find out your state’s cutoff? I know there’s a list somewhere on the site…Or can you call NMFS?</p>
<p>Wait can we still get our score by calling them? It didn’t work for me the last time I tried…</p>
<p>@Sophiax27: Did you take the Sat or Wed version?</p>
<p>@chillbro: Calling NMSC for the scores is a “misinformation” rumored around the internet.</p>
<p>-3 writing 690…harsh curve</p>
<p>Hello. </p>
<p>I called as wel… I can’t remember who the poster was who said they got their scores from NMSC… but THEY LIED… so just remember… this is still a site of people that we are not famliar with… so be careful… when it comes to scores or something even more important… I know I learned my lesson…</p>
<p>My school won’t give us test results until the new year so I have to wait a whole month. Ugh.</p>
<p>Past Qualifying Scores can be found here: [National</a> Merit Scholarships](<a href=“http://www.collegeplanningsimplified.com/NationalMerit.html]National”>http://www.collegeplanningsimplified.com/NationalMerit.html)</p>
<p>They can go up or down by a few points from year to year, but this list gives you a rough idea.</p>
<p>Well, I’m not sure when my school will hand them out, but seeing as they’re mailed out I’m going to go and beg for my score tomorrow.</p>
<p>I’m hoping for at least a commendation, since Minnesota’s 2011 cutoff is 213…</p>
<p>I got an email from CB, and the subject was “Your PSAT scores are ready…” However, the body of the email says that I need to have the access code that comes with the score report. Thanks, CB -,-</p>
<p>I asked my counseling office today, and we don’t have them yet. </p>
<p>I don’t understand why folks know their scores, but don’t know if they qualify for NMS. It says if you did on the score report…</p>
<p>What does “commended” mean in this context?</p>
<p>For those of you got your score please help me. We get our scores in late January and was wondering if you could tell me now and maybe guess mine.</p>
<p>-1 WR
-4 math
-5 Cr</p>
<p>Is this 220 or above???</p>
<p>National merit commended indicates that the recipient scored the top 3-4% on the PSAT relative to other juniors. Qualifying scores hover around 200.</p>
<p>Anyone can help me?</p>
<p>@Chinaboys: I haven’t received mine yet, but according to results posted on cc: 76-77W, 68-70M, 73-74R. Thus 217-221.</p>
<p>@Chinaboys. Someone in earlier posts already confirmed -1 WR is 76, -5 CR is 71, my best guess is -4 in math will be 72 as one person got 66 with a -7. Total: 219</p>
<p>I believe commended scholar cutoff is 201 last year.</p>
