[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is excellent practice at taking a test. Why do you want to opt out?[/quote] This. My older kid is not a great tester, but we had him do them because in high school they matter. They stressed him out the first year or 2 of elementary, but then it just became a thing you do. By highschool he didn't worry much, but for the ones that required prep, he prepared and did great. It's like the SAT in some ways. His first PSAT was traumatic. He was stressed, wiped out, couldn't believe how long it was and never wanted to do it again. The second one he was a little stressed, but mostly perky and fine when it was over. (It helped it was a little shorter because it was online). He's not upset at the idea of taking an SAT whereas after his first PSAT he said he never wanted to do such a test again.[/quote]
