<p>I find this whole post hard to believe. 211 on the PSAT isn’t 82nd percentile - especially if the 50th percentile is supposedly 150.</p>
<p>Even in states like New York, Connecticut, New Jersey, and Massachusetts 211 isn’t 82nd percentile.</p>
<p>There is either a misprint or you’re screwing data a little. </p>
<p>For your information, the national average of the 99th percentile (i.e. semifinalist levels) is 215 (ranging from 204 in Mississippi to 224 in Mass.).</p>
