[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know nothing about how this works. Is it just PSAT?[/quote]

Yes.  But it gets you a lot of scholarship offers.[/quote]

NMSF is a semi-big deal until the day you take the SATs. After that, no one gives a shit how you did on the PSAT. Signed, a NMSF from a long time ago. [/quote]

Beg to differ.  Could be worth $10K or more in scholarships.

Also...with kids, tells you how well your kids have been educated to potential.  I paid for a lot of Covid-era math instruction remediation.  My kid was exactly on the line for Commended.  My whole family is a mix of NMSFs and Commendeds.  If my kid didn't make Commended, I would have considered it my failure to ensure enough math remediation and test prepping to have him reach his potential.  It's a more well-characterized test of facility with algebra and geometry under time pressure than anything else available to us.  I'm happy to know my son matched his dad's math %ile of population and exceeded mine.  It means his public school education plus math tutoring got the job done.
