It’s a lot easier for National Merit because so many kids take the test and it’s been around for a long time. People have been tracking and keeping records of all the individual state cutoffs for years and years. No thanks to NMSC. They would like it to be secret.

The cutoff scores for NMSF were record high for last year’s PSAT in many states. If it turns out that 200 is the cutoff for NASF in Texas, that would probably be the very highest your friend needs to be looking at for this year’s PSAT.
