What score must you get on the psat nmsqt to a scholorship?

There's no single PSAT NMSQT score that guarantees a scholarship. The National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC) uses PSAT/NMSQT scores to determine semifinalists, and from that pool, scholarships are awarded. The cutoff scores vary by state and year, reflecting the distribution of scores across the country.

To be considered for a National Merit Scholarship, you generally need a very high PSAT score – in the top 1% of test-takers in your state. This is typically a score of around 1300+ (out of 1520), but it can fluctuate. Even scoring high enough to become a semifinalist doesn't guarantee a scholarship; further evaluation is required.
