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).
Perfect on a section is no longer 800. Itâs 760. College Board has instituted a tiered system, with top scores of 800 for the SAT, 760 for PSAT 11 and PSAT 10, and 720 PSAT 8/9. (Guess they like their 40s.) For the PSAT, scores for math and evidence-based reading and writing (EBRW) range from 160-760.
