[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No. There is no reason to take it in 9th grade. What purpose would that serve?

There’s really no reason to take if in 11th grade either unless you have taken a practice test and are reasonably close enough to the NMSQT qualifying cut off score for your state.  If that’s the case, then it's worth it to prep for PSAT.

The PSAT can also provide a baseline for SAT prep. You can use Khan Academy to create a self-paced prep curriculum based on the sub-scores from the PSAT.

And if they totally bomb it, then they'll know well in advance that test-optional will likely be the way to go. They can focus their energies on raising their GPA, taking challenging coursework, and participating in meaningful extracurriculars.

Most places the PSAT is given during the school day, and some school systems even pay for it. So there's no harm in taking it in 11th (or even 10th), if only so your student can get a sense of what their approach to testing and prep should be over the next year or two. [/quote]
