Should a 9th grader take the PSAT? SAT?

<p>If your kid is a bright student, (obviously he is; he wouldn’t have qualified for CTY earlier), the likelihood that his scores would go down between freshman and jr years is highly unlikely. With the additional English, Math, and Science classes he’ll have in 2 years of high school, he’s almost always going to see a rise in scores, unless he’s sick or otherwise sleeps through the SAT taken later. Don’t worry about it.</p>
