[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]so what is the bet for the new cutoffs in DC, MD, and VA?[/quote]

I analyzed the old cut-off scores relative to the total and applied the percentages to the new total.

Old test total=240                 New Test Total=228

DC.                225 =94% of 240.                   214
Maryland.     222=92.5% of 240.                 211
Virginia.        222=92.5% of 240.                  211

Thanks.  The above is the most useful post on this entire thread.   While I am sure the actual methodology will be more complex, I have seen on test prep company that must have done a similar exercise and posted estimates accordingly on its web site that seemed to be in this general ball park -- at least they agreed the cut offs would have to be lower this year.

Unfortunately, it's not clear that the cut-off will be lower for every State.  Check out the College Confidential thread and Examiner link referred to by PPs.  The latter includes the following statement from someone who sounds knowledgeable:  "It’s possible we’ll see cut-offs in some states rise and in other states fall.”[/quote]
