FrogMom5 Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Forgive me for being daft but, I've looked all over the College Board site, including the state reports. I can't seem to find where it shows the cutoff for National Merit Scholar for each state. Where do I find this info.? Thanks for your help.

HiddenJewel Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 I don't know if a current year list is out. But you can tell by your student's PSAT score it it was reached indicated by no asterisk by the score. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrogMom5 Posted December 6, 2011 Author Share Posted December 6, 2011 Thank you for responding, HiddenJewel. Ds is only a sophmore so his score doesn't yet count. He wants to see about how much he needs to improve his scores to qualify next yr. I know it changes every yr. but it will be helpful to know.

Dd took the PSAT as a sophomore last year and it was nice to know she only needed 10 more points to reach our state cutoff. We are waiting to see if she indeed made it this year.

debbiec Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Go to this link to see the state scores cut-offs for the Class of 2011. That would make these two years old and they change year to year but generally in a similar range so it might give you some idea. If your score is riding the fence, then you will probably need to wait to find out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debbiec Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 My son scored OK on the PSAT his 10th grade year. From looking at that score, he was not even close to the NAtional Merit State scores. However, that extra year of math, science, and english improved his score significantly to make semi-finalists. To me, it was really hard to judge due to that fact (that extra year of school). You probably know that it doesn't count their 10th grade year anyway for NM :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrogMom5 Posted December 9, 2011 Author Share Posted December 9, 2011 Thank you for all the replies. We looked at the link and ds decided he has a lot of work ahead of him to raise his score. It seems to have motivated him to study a bit harder. Thanks again for your help. Denise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
