[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DC goes to a Big3 and the school specifically says the PSAT is for practice and NOT to prepare. I wonder if many of the kids that are NMSF are specifically studying or tutoring for it over the summer? It is really not emphasized at all at the school. [/quote] No. The students who do extremely well on PSAT are not doing so because they prepped for it. The kids who do well enough to eventually be NMSF or Finalist find the PSAT exceedingly easy. Kinda like if you were asked to take an 8th grade English and math test when you were in college The kids who are prepped by their parents are being prepped to help them go from a score of 1000-1100 to something slightly more admissible to a solid SLAC ( 1250 /1300 ) NOT to even try for NMSF [/quote]
