Based on qualifying scores by state in 2015, we’ve compiled our estimations of what you score you need on this year’s PSAT to become a Semifinalist.  (from College  Board)
 

 As you can see, scores vary depending on where you take the test. Scores also vary by up to 60 from year to year, so aim to achieve a score at least 30 to 50 points higher than the predicted cutoff for your state!
