@one1ofeach You could give her a hybrid version of that advice - which would be to have their kid take a practice PSAT test on their own. If they score in such a way that could put them close to qualifying for NMS in their state, then it might be worth some prep to try to get it (or at least to minimize regrets). If they aren’t close, then I don’t think there is a good reason to prep. Giving this advice might make you feel better, too, that you have covered the bases.
