BengalMom - no, D took the SAT last Saturday, not before taking the PSAT. I did register her before I had her PSAT score though. And we did receive her score just over a week before the test, but she had no time to do any more practices. I already knew her biggest weakness was her vocabulary - not that you would know that from talking to her, or from reading her writing - but I know it from living with her. Anyway, I had purchased some vocab study guides recommended here on CC (forgot which thread), and after she got her PSAT scores, she at least looked at those books. Can’t say whether they helped or not yet - and she didn’t spend that much time with them anyway.

Nice that your S doesn’t seem to mind taking all these tests - I think D’s coach would have a fit if she missed one more meet due to a standardized test this season - that’s why she’ll do the next round, if necessary, during the spring. I really hope that she did well enough to make her happy on at least one of these two tests so that she won’t have to do a retake.

Oh, and I had her take the SAT in December because someone we knew from her school did so her junior year, and it worked out well for her.

Hope your S has fun at the dance tonight. D’s school doesn’t have any dances - except for one sponsored by Model Congress, and of course the senior prom.
