[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The practice PSAT taken by 10th graders is the exact same test given to 11th graders to qualify for National Merit Scholars, it's just called something different to make clear that that 10th grade scores are not eligible for the National Merit stuff.    The practice PSAT taken by 9th graders is different -- it's shorter.  9th graders can opt to take the PSAT 10  (your school may or may not have made that clear or given that option), so if some people say their 9th grader took the "real" PSAT, that's why.

Thanks for the clarification.  Does the school (or college board) not grade the "practice PSAT" and send the "booklet" home for parents to grade it?  I was talking to a parent that has a 9th grader in a W school and the child came back with the booklet of the questions and answers for the PSAT and the parent checked the answers based off a "key" of correct answers. My own 9th grader on the other hand took the test and was told that the results will be available in December.  Who makes the "not-real" PSAT questions? Is it something that collegeboard gives or is it something that MCPS or the school puts together.  We also paid out of pocket for the 9th grade PSAT. [/quote]

The PSAT 8/9 that your kid took is an official practice test created by the College Board.  You'll get official results in December.  I think it's December 10th that you can log into your kid's account and view the report -- the school will send them home later than that, probably after a meeting to explain how to interpret the results.   I haven't heard about the booklet and answers your friend had, and I can't remember if my kid came home with the test she took last year.  [/quote]
