[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you have a chance at NMSF, take it during your sophomore year.  It is cheap, doesn't take up a lot of time and will give you a sense of the test.

The real question is, why not?  It's not like 10-20 hours of prep, 3 hours taking the test is that much time over a few months.  [/quote]

No.  Wrong advice.  Every student should take PSAT.  Because PSAT stands for [b]P[/b]ractice [b]SAT[/b].

It is a great tool to get familiar with SAT with zero downside.  And you can link your PSAT scores on college board website for free to Khan Academy so that they create a targeted study plan for you. No college will ever see your PSAT scores.  You practice for SAT by taking PSAT,  not by taking SAT multiple times.

It is like getting a dedicated tutor for SAT for free.

To get the most from it - take your first PSAT in 8th or 9th.  And never miss an opportunity to take PSAT.

It is foolish to spend money on SAT prep.  Do it for free with PSAT.  And utilize collegeboard and khan academy to look at your PSAT performance and  get free tutoring from these organizations..   I find it absolutely horrible that people will advice people to not let their children take PSAT.  This is so that they can eliminate competition for their own kid.

[b]PSAT is for everyone. The top student, the bottom student, the immigrant student, the economically disadvantaged student, SN student, NT student, ESOL student. [/b][/quote]
