Proudpapa77 Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 (edited) Figured I'd start a new thread for this one. Here are the early predictions from Test Masters regarding state cutoffs. This will surely change once the concordance tables are finalized, but right now this appears to be the best estimate on the web. http://collegeadmissions.testmasters.com/update-psat-scores-cut-national-merit-2016/ Edited January 8, 2016 by Proudpapa77 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJB Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 (edited) Thank you for posting this! :001_smile: It'll be a long wait until September! Edited January 10, 2016 by KJB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoJosMom Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Well, that was interesting. It appears that their method results in a jump for the lower population states and a drop for the densely populated ones. I wonder how accurate that will be? Thanks for sharing!

KJB Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 I kind of think (hope) that we'll get more information when the printed report shows up at the end of January. In the past, they have included a section about how to read the scores. Also, we'll know more when the commended score is released in April.

A bit off-topic (sorry OP!), but I think I read on the College Board website that the online scores are replacing the printed report. I'm not sure that's accurate, though. :confused1: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie of KY Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 These predictions look more accurate than anything else I've seen so far. Who really knows - it's a waiting game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowbeltmom Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 In that monster PSAT thread on College Confidential post#3418 sheds more light on the scoring. The poster said that the guidance counselor received a report that lists the national percentiles for the SI, which is the score that matters for NM. The poster said that having an SI score of 207 or greater places you in the 99% nationally. (The SI in the 99% may be lower than 207, but this school had a gap in scores between 207 and the next highest score in the 190s.) Being in the 99% probably won't be enough for NM in the high performing states, especially CA, MD, MA, and NY, but it may be enough for the rest of the country. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowbeltmom Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Thanks snowbeltmom! I've been reading that thread but I've started getting a little OCD about it so I'm trying to let it go..... However, I really like feeding my OCD with pertinent info from that thread here! lol Also, the fact that the guidance counselor's have the SI percentiles seems to suggest we will all have them by the end of the month! And, since we live in a middle of the road and not highest performing state, I think my son has a chance! :hurray: I am not sure if the SI percentiles are released to anyone other than the guidance counselors. I know in prior years the guidance counselors were privy to more information than the general public. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NittanyJen Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Has anybody received their paper score reports yet? We were unable to make an account for our 12YO (I suspect it's that dipstick no-kids-under-13-can-have-an-online-account-because-we-can't-let-parents-make-judgement-calls-rule) and are still waiting. I just sent them email, but I don't think calling them on a Sunday will do much good. :/ The school where they took the test said they only received scores for their own students.
