Should a 9th grader take the PSAT? SAT?

<p>First, let me apologize to OP, I am feeling I hijacked this thread, I didn’t intend
to do so when I first posted. so very sorry for grabbing some of the attentions.</p>

<p>Thanks for the link for college information session, yes, we will be attending some of those meetings. </p>

<p>Just like you mentioned, many middle schooler did well on SAT I due to their mathcount practice, I guess that’s what happened to my son too. In high school, Math competition and classes are very different with SAT I (he is taking multivariable calculus and statistic for math part), the reason they may not do well is not due to they can’t solve the problem but mostly out of careless. Anyway, I will report back to you for my son’s second time SAT I score, being it bad or good. </p>

<p>So nice to see you again here, it’s amazing you still remember me and my son, for me, I always remember you and your help.</p>

<p>Yes, time flies. Son has been doing well. He passed the USAMO in his freshmen year and went into MOps, took one semester’s physics on 9th gr and qualified as Physics Olympiad semifinalist, and somehow believes that he loves Physics more then math, so started to self-study physics on 10th gr, ( still goes to all kinds of math competition though, just don’t practice that much). On May of this year, he took 5 AP’s , all scored 5, including Phy C–mechanics and Phy C–Electricity& Magnisum, the two physics that he self studied. This year, he is self studying Optics and Thermodynamics, taking Quantum physics and Physical-chemistry at school, he also practice volleyball , does piano competition and is learning guitar. That’s why I was saying he is in a very tight time schedule. I kept telling him he needs to slow down a little, but so far, he doesn’t seem to feel any stress or pressured from what he is doing, so I just left him alone, let him do what ever he wants to. I think I am bragging too much about my son, I will stop now.</p>

<p>How is your son doing? Is he about to graduate from college now? I know he is a extremely smart boy, so he must be doing well too.</p>

<p>Best Regards.</p>
