[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How many juniors, and what % overall, of kids manage to get the full score 1520 on PSAT every year?  Anyone know?[/quote]

About 1600 kids in a given year (1 in 1000) [/quote]

That is incorrect. about 16000 are semifinalists, accounting for the top one percent on each state.[/quote]

The question was about the number of kids who have perfect scores (1520 or SI of 228). The answer is that about 1 in 10 semifinalists belong in that group. [/quote]

If you look at the tables there are a lot of scores under 1520 that are 99%ile+ (the + is literally in the table). So very very few. My child got 1500 as a Sophomore and said he only knew of one other kid who did better in his grade at a pretty high performing school. Of course that doesn't mean there aren't more, but it's not a ton of kids getting 1520.

I think the higher scores in 10th don't always translate to improvements in 11th because it can be the result of a lucky set. We'll see![/quote]
