I though I had read somewhere that it is possible to have the sophomore PSAT count if you are graduating in 3 years. Maybe you have to know at the time you take it? Not sure - but this is the blurb from the NM website.
[National Merit Scholarship Corporation - Entering the Competitions](http://www.nationalmerit.org/entering.php#when)

Students who plan to leave high school a year (or more) early to enroll in college full time usually can participate in NMSC programs if they take the PSAT/NMSQT before they enroll in college. Such students must take the PSAT/NMSQT in either the next-to-last year or the last year they are enrolled in high school.

* Those who take the PSAT/NMSQT in the next-to-last year of high school will be entering the competition for awards to be offered as they are finishing their final high school year.

Those who take the PSAT/NMSQT in their last year of high school will be entering the competition for awards to be offered as they are completing their first year of college.
