[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]The cut off keeps going up and up, [/b]with NY and MA leading and VA and MD not far behind.[/quote] it may feel that way but it's not true. It usually goes up or down by +/- 1 to 2 pts. Once the commended scores are released, it's a good sign whether we will have a up year or down year and (to some extent) by how many points. [/quote] It goes up or down depending on the difficulty of the test in any particular year. Poke around on College Confidential's National Merit area and there's a thread that discusses test difficulty and cut off scores. [/quote] I know this maybe hard to follow but cutoff scores between 2007-2015.
