[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think commended shows admissions office that this was a kid who started off with a relatively high PSAT and didn’t need to prep to get their high SAT score.

Uh....students prep for PSATs....all the time.  Where have you been?  Under a rock?[/quote]
Then there's killing two birds with one stone by prepping for a fall junior year SAT. That would be my suggestion for students who typically score in the top percentile on standardized tests generally.

This didn't quite work out for my older kid, who retook SAT later, but my current junior was one-and-done on the Aug SAT after prepping over the summer. Then took Oct PSAT with zero additional prep and scored 4 points higher than last year's cutoff for NMSF in our state.[/quote]

+1 high achievers often study in the summer before junior year, to take the SAT and ACT at the end of the summer. These students are often one and done, or identify a specific area to fix. It allows them to focus on their generally heavy course load over the year, and in the pre-test optional world it helped identify which schools one would apply to. This timeline helped with the PSAT, coincidentally. [/quote]
