[quote=Anonymous]Agree with PP that PSAT prep is worth it if your kid is on the bubble for a national merit scholarship. You may have a clue about whether or not s/he's on the bubble if s/he took practice PSAT tests in 10th grade. Also, one strategy is to take the SAT in January of your junior year, in order to avoid taking the SAT in the spring of your junior year when you'll be swamped with AP and SAT II tests. Most kids don't wait to take the SAT until the fall of senior year, because this doesn't leave a lot of room for retests if you're not happy with the first results. If you go with the January strategy, then a SAT prep class the summer before junior year might be in order, and that would help with the PSAT, although there are some differences your kid should be aware of. Some of the kids in DC's magnet middle school started prepping for the PSAT/SAT in 8th grade, no kidding. So YMMV.[/quote]
