<p>sorry to come back to this so late…</p>
<p>PSAT’s, as far as I understand them, are taken up through the fall of Junior year… after that, they are replaced by SAT scores. Other than for merrit scholarships, and NASS considerations, they lose their significance once one becomes eligable to take the SATs.</p>
<p>And while it is true the PSAT scores will be used to screen for early candidates and “invites” to NASS, the offer of appointment will be based on SAT (ACT) scores and not PSATs.</p>
<p>Just to keep things in perspective-
the goal, IMO, should not be on “getting an invite to NASS”… but rather “getting an appointment to the USNA,” keeping in mind that not all who attend NASS will gain appointments, just as many appointments will be offered to candidates that never attended NASS.</p>
