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).
A PSAT score report contains a separate score for each of the three section types (Critical Reading, Math, and Writing Skills) on a scale from 20 to 80. The score report also contains the test-takerâs Selection Index, which is the sum of the scaled scores for each of the three section types.
