[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You don't know if she's taken the PSAT? I'm sensing that either
a. Your kid's high school has a rather lackadaisical approach to college preparation, or
b. You as a family are only really paying attention to the college process in late March of your child's junior year.

This is the website for the organization the does the SAT:

You should also be exploring the ACT [/quote]

Sorry---as her step mom, I don't know if she's taken the PSAT or not.  Her father probably knows but I'm not going to call him at work now to ask him that.  Does having taken the PSAT impact the SAT process?  If I remember correctly, the PSAT was the prelim test for the SAT and gave you a feel for the test.  But other than qualifying for National Merit, the PSAT had no bearing on the SAT.  Is that still correct or has that also changed?

Thank you for the website link.  I was on it earlier today.  I'm not familiar with the ACT at all.  Do schools now require both the SAT and the ACT?

I understand your bullet A above--I won't disagree with you on that point.  I'm not sure I understand bullet B--isn't Jr year around Spring when kids start looking at colleges?  Did I miss something?[/quote]
OP, the PSATs, and point a and b above don't really matter at this point.  You have to move forward from here, today.  Mostly, your DH has got to pay attention to this.  The high school probably has college information meetings for parents of high school juniors.  The student and parents need to meet with the guidance counselor and map out a plan.  Now.  [/quote]
