[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Midwest apparently clueless mom here -- do kids study for the PSAT?  My 10th grader didn't and I didn't really think this was a thing.  Same as PP, 1330 and I feel like that is just fine.[/quote]
People study if they really care about NMSF and they live in a state where the cut score is really high. If you live in a less competitive state or don’t care about NMSF there’s no reason to study. (And congratulations on making life choices that help you and your kid stay sane, I wish I’d done the same.)[/quote]

I think kids in those high cutoff states just prep for a fall SAT of junior year and use that for their PSAT prep. Our daughter who is a NMSF in MD this year took the August and November SAT. She didn’t specifically prep for the PSAT but assumed her studying for the SAT would help since she expected to be close to the cutoff under any circumstances.[/quote]

+1. This is exactly the path my DC has taken this fall (junior year). Thought PSAT was rough this year, but increased by 100 points from last year.[/quote]
