[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]

This is such an odd comment. All kids take the PSAT in 10th. It isn't a race for test prep. No one preps for the 10th grade PSAT. They just take it. It's not a source of stress.

I think it would be more stressful to take the tests without getting some practice runs. So by opting out of the PSAT, the kid may be more stressed for the actual SAT. So good job with that. [/quote]
