This honor is awarded to the top 16,000 highest scoring test takers out of nearly 1.5 million students who took the 2014 Preliminary SAT (PSAT) last fall.
Nationwide, semifinalists represent less than one percent of each state’s high school seniors. The cutoff score of 218 for students in Georgia, was among the state’s highest. North Springs’ semifinalists will now continue in the competition hoping to be named National Merit Finalists and scholarship recipients in spring of 2016.
