So, I'm a junior and I recently got back my PSAT. (I swear my school was the last to pass out scores ><). I'm curious as to whether or not I have a chance to qualify for national merit. I'm not sure if my score is good enough.
I've asked around, and I haven't really gotten a straight answer from anyone since juniors won't find out until their senior year. One senior got a 206 when she was a junior, but was only commended. And another scored a 208 and just made it; she was a semi-finalist. My other friend made a 207, and missed it by just one point, but he's also commended. I'm very interested in everyone's opinions, and I assume there has to be someone in cB that knows what they're talking about! So to cut to the chase, I scored in the 98 percentile; I made a 209. Do I have a good/bad chance? |

The PSAT is by far the most underrated test at my school. Nobody cares about it, sadly enough. Like I'm amazed by the scores you guys get on it, because I've met 2 people irl who've studied for it. Most wake up, take the test, and then forget about it until the scores come out. And then forget again.
