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).
How PSAT Scores Work. The PSAT consists of three sections, each of which is scored on a scale of 20 to 80 points with 80 being a perfect score.A perfect composite score would be 240, while the worst possible composite score is 60.Like all standardized tests, the PSAT doesn't care how many questions you answer right or wrong in a vacuum.he 50th percentile of PSAT scores for high school juniors was 141 out of 240 in 2014, so if you scored higher than that you beat at least half the field. A score of 163 would place you in the 75th percentile, ahead of three-quarters of the field.
