States with the highest numbers of paper checks include California, New York, Texas, Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan and North Carolina. There may be a little wiggle room, but Social Security would like people to willingly give up those paper checks.
Remember that the new PSAT is scored between 320 and 1520, which is a composite of the Math section and the Reading and Writing sections together. To score in the 70th percentile or above, you want to aim for at least a 490 in Reading and Writing and a 500 in Math (or a composite of 990).
I am a Freshman (9th grade) and I took the PSAT in October. I didn't do any test preparations at all. I just got back my score. Here is my score: Critical Reading-55 and Better than 86% of sophomores, Mathematics-51 and Better than 75% of sophomores, Writing Skills-62 and Better than 96% of sophomores. My Selection Index score is 168. And my Percentile (compared to juniors) is 80. Is this a good score for a Freshman?? Please be honest. And also, what is the average for a Freshman PSAT??
