[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also each PSAT section maxes out at 760, not 800, so 224 for California out of a maximum of 228 is actually quite hard. Only three combinations are possible: • Perfect reading + up to 40 points off in math • 10 points off in reading + up to 20 points off in math • 20 points off in reading + perfect math That's it. At least California is not New Jersey, Massachusetts, or DC where the cutoff is 225 which means only these would make the cut: • Perfect reading + up to 30 points off in math • 10 points off in reading + up to 10 points off in math Respect for those who made NMSF in these states 🫡[/quote] Thanks for laying it out like this! Yes, when you count it as “points off,” it’s clear that the NMSF cutoffs are harder than the supposedly equivalent SAT scores. Especially since it’s possible to lose 10-20 points on a single question! Maybe the content isn’t harder (PSAT v SAT) but there’s zero room for error. [/quote]
