Maybe they are rolling them out slowly - I'll check back tomorrow. |

. They are there, you re probably looking in the wrong spot. IMO, it is not intuitively obvious, plus you need to know your child's info to log in to their account. |

| My son's score just populated at 1:45 this afternoon. Fairfax County public high school. |

| I heard that a friend's son in MoCo (Churchill, I believe) got them too. |

| So what is a decent score for a sophomore? |

| I would think the score for NMSF would go down since the point total changed. Why would the cutoff increase? |

I would love to know the same thing. |

Is 1240 a decent score? 660 math, 580 reading/writing.
College Board says this is the score that DC would have scored if it had been the new SAT. |

| Max points for NMSF cutoff purposes were 240 under old PSAT and are 228 for new PSAT, so NMSF cutoff should go down. |

How old is your DC? It seems pretty good. |

| My son got his scores (he's a junior) and thankfully he scored better on his SAT. 100 points better. Sort of anticlimactic when you've finished your SATs. |

| So if last year cutoff was 224 for DC, it should go down. By how much? |

Yes -- looking at DD PSAT report, the max score now is 1520 vice the old 1600. Is that correct? |

| Yes 1520 max score. |

| PP - your son should score better on the SAT. SAT has 1600 possible points now. PSAT has only 1520. So estimate on some prep site is the SAT score might probably be about 80 points higher than PSAT score. |
