Hello all. We have successfully made it to high school with our girls, one DYS, one untested, but we know at least MG. We are now in a small private school, and it turns out they give the PSAT in 9th, 10th, and 11th. From the sources I have found it is considered advantageous to do some prep work for the PSAT as the 11th grade test is used to determine National Merit Scholarships. Correct? So do we view the PSAT 9th and 10th tests as part of that prep work and not worry so much about them? Our girls have already taken the SAT and previous to that, the Explore test via Duke Tip so they have some experience with testing.

Next question - DD13 took the previous tests without accommodations, and I want those in place before this upcoming test period. How long does it take to get those set up with the College Board? DD already has these accommodations set in her 504.

Anything else I need to be aware of?
