[quote=Anonymous]To get the most out of PSAT -
- Never miss an opportunity to take a PSAT if it is offered by the school. 
- All PSATs (except the 11th grade one that qualifies for merit - NMSQT (National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test) should be taken without any preparation. 
- Link the result of the PSATs with Khan Academy and it gives a comprehensive result of your performance. Based on your performance, Khan Academy creates a study plan for your students.
- If you do well in NMSQT and become a Semifinalist or a commended scholar, you can mention that in your college application.
- To become a finalist (or scholarship recipeint), you have to take the actual SAT and do well in it, include that score, a bunch of essays, recommendation from your HS - and they you become a finalist. There are some merit money for some of the kids from the NMSC (the company), but many corporations and many colleges give money too. 
- If your HS does not administer the PSAT in 11th grade, or your student falls sick or the test gets canceled due to pandemic etc, you have alternate routes to get qualified and that is by taking a qualifying actual SAT and using it as a PSAT proxy. [/quote]
