<p>If he wants to have a chance to be a National Merit Scholar he will have to take the SAT. There is no getting around it. I would strongly anticipate he will easily obtain a qualifying score given his PSAT result, so he should anticipate doing no more preparation than he did for the PSAT and could probably do much less. I would suggest he search this and other sites for guidance about the essay as that would be the only part of the SAT that would be new to him.</p>
