PP - your son should score better on the SAT. SAT has 1600 possible points now. PSAT has only 1520. So estimate on some prep site is the SAT score might probably be about 80 points higher than PSAT score.

Yes -- looking at DD PSAT report, the max score now is 1520 vice the old 1600. Is that correct?

So if last year cutoff was 224 for DC, it should go down. By how much?

My son got his scores (he's a junior) and thankfully he scored better on his SAT. 100 points better. Sort of anticlimactic when you've finished your SATs.

College Board says this is the score that DC would have scored if it had been the new SAT.


How old is your DC? It seems pretty good.

I would think the score for NMSF would go down since the point total changed. Why would the cutoff increase?

I heard that a friend's son in MoCo (Churchill, I believe) got them too.

Maybe they are rolling them out slowly - I'll check back tomorrow.
. They are there, you re probably looking in the wrong spot. IMO, it is not intuitively obvious, plus you need to know your child's info to log in to their account.
