[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are 8th graders taking the PSAT? [/quote] Which 8th graders are taking it? Here, it's typically 10th & 11th graders to practice for the SAT and qualify for scholarships (if in 11th).[/quote] There are PSAT for 8th, 9th, 10th and 11th graders. Some MCPS MS (Parkland?) administers these tests for free for its 8th grade students. Each of these tests have questions only up to their grade level. For example, 8th grade PSAT will not have SAT questions from content that is taught in 9th grade and higher. It gives a headstart in prep and exposure to students. [/quote]
