My older son took the PSAT sophmore year for practice (his score was good but not NMSF good). He took the exam junior year and made NMSF. He did not review at all before the sophmore exam and took one practice test the night before the junior exam.

My younger son will take the PSAT next month as a sophmore without any practice. I will then have him review next summer for the junior year exam.

I think it is a good idea to take it as a sophmore since this gives them exposure to the exam in real test taking conditions. I don’t think it is necessary for them to take practice exams for the full year before the junior year test. If they start in the summer they should have plenty of review time.
