1330 in 10th grade.
If he preps for the SAT this summer, that should also help with the PSAT next fall, right?

I notice a smaller number of PSAT juniors, Class of 2026 (1,445,000) compared to previous years. Is it "a Demographic cliff "?



Is it possible the late November test-takers weren’t yet included? DC’s school took the PSAT on 10/30, and scores were just released to their high school yesterday.

The projections are that beginning with the class of 2026, the number of graduating seniors begins to decline.

I just read when I searched that the student needs to get an SAT score that meets the commended cut-off using the same formula (verbal x 2 plus math divided by 10).
