[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's fine to take it cold in 10th. It doesn't matter and isn't reported anywhere.[/quote]

It is even probably useful "cold" as a baseline.[/quote]

This is why I had my kid take it. It gave us baseline data. [/quote]

Baseline?  What does that even mean?    I can’t with all the college stress and prep. Let them be in HS.

Piece of advice: they are more likely to have success in the college application process if they are engaged and happy figuring out who they are as sophomores instead of prepping for college (aka getting a “baseline.”)  There is no upside to racing for test prep now.  [/quote]

My kid was able to be engaged and happy in life and take the PSAT as a sophomore. The two things are not mutually exclusive.

Kid also ended being a National Merit finalist. The 10th grade PSAT gave her valuable info on what she needed to study in order to do better on 11th grade PSAT.

The National Merit status gave her access to scholarships. The added “stress” of studying for PSAT was minimal and gave her real, tangible benefits.

That’s how real life works. Opprtunity meeting preparation usually creates positive results. And I’m glad my kid learned that lesson in HS. [/quote]
