[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I assumed you had to get like 1550. We live in VA.[/quote]
1520 is the highest possible score on the PSAT.  [/quote]

So probably around 1470?

I don’t expect my kid to be a scholar. I’m just curious what he would need as a junior to be one.[/quote]
It depends on the English vs. math score.  [b]A kid with a 1490, 730 in English and 760 in math would have a SI of 222, which is probably not good enough in VA[/b].  A kid with a 1470, 760 in English and 710 in math would have a SI of 223, which likely is high enough.  [/quote]
Huh??
Why is that not good enough in VA?  VA is usually average between 219-222. 
222 is the highest they have been. [/quote]
Compassprep predicts a cutoff of 222 for VA, but I've also heard that scores are trending even higher than expected, so all of the cutoffs might be around the top end of their predicted range, which for VA is a 223.  If your kid has a 222, I hope it works out for them!  It's a great score![/quote]

Is it by high school or by state?

Would it be different from McLean vs Alexandria to be a scholar or commended?[/quote]
