[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Today I found out that my DCPS junior got three wrong out of about 120 questions on the PSAT, apparently missed being a NMSF by one question. Still in the 99 percentile (top 1%) in the country, but does not make NMSF because of DC's cutoff, highest in the country. Why is the cutoff so high?[/quote] The cutoff is high because only .5-1% of students who take the exam are supposed to become NMSF. There are many kids in our highly educated area that score well, and miss fewer than 3 questions. [/quote]
