Thanks for the info. So you still have to take it in junior year. Taking it already doesn't count? Annoying.
National Merit Scholarships are based on 11th grade PSAT, so you only have to take them if you're interested in the NM program. PSATs don't count at all for college, so NMS is really the only reason to take them. (I suppose taking a standardized test under actual conditions, but not counting, is a benefit).
SAT's are generally accepted for 5 years. I'm in the odd position of having DD14 take the PSAT the next 2 years but possibly not taking the SAT again, after her 8th grade score.
